The Donald Sutherland version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" 
certainly fits here.  There was also a Jaws ripoff movie, either 
"Piranha" or "Barracuda" or something else, that ends that way.
"Spellbinder," with Kelly Preston, also ends that way.  "Thelma and
Louise" may or may not fit; it's a judgment call.

>Catherine's parents
Catherine. She wrote that book about the boy and his parents and even though
it was written (published?) after their accident that doesn't mean she hadn't
thought of it beforehand.

>Berkeley professor
This I have no strong opinion about. I would say it's Catherine because I
think Beth's killing instincts developed later on

>Beth's husband
Beth. She used him to obtain a new identity and get rid of Stone and when he
started being nosy or whatever she disposed of him

>The ex-rock star
Roxie. I imagine I'm in the minority with this one :-) but the way I see it is
that her jealousy had already developed. Furthermore, she used the method in
Catherine's book because she know it would provide an alibi for Catherine.

>The IAD man
Beth. He broke her trust by showing Shooter's file and he made Shooter very
angry -- and Beth was still in love with him.

>Shooter's partner
Catherine. I cannot believe the Beth would keep her hand in her pocket if she
were the murderess. And there's Catherine's book and her assertion that there
_must_ be a murder. A nice way to frame Beth too.

Well, there you have it. Shoot it down if you can :-)

  If it's the same "Movie Magic" we used at Disney, it's primary purpose
is to break out a script into budget elements and a shooting schedule.
It's not really geared to accelerate the writing process itself.

	It isn't just Biehn, Cameron seems to like using the same actors in

He is a pretty good action-movie actor, though it's hard to judge his range
as he always seems to play some sort of soldier.

About two months ago Premiere magazine ran an article about a set of special
edition video releases featuring the directors cut in a letterbox format and
missing scenes. The first in the series was to be Fatal Attraction with an
alternate ending and interview with Adrian Lyne. John Singleton's Boyz N the Hood
is also slated to be released as a part of the series.

Has anyone seen this cut of "Fatal Attraction" with the new ending? The local
video store in my area hasn't been able to keep it in the store, because it rents
out so quickly.

Any other info would be appreciated...

	Gee, while I enjoy The Phantom's reviews, and
am indeed a true phan of his, I wonder if there is
ANY movie he has ever reviewed and enjoyed!  Admittedly,
there is a dearth of good horror flicks out there, but
occasionally it would be nice to see The Phantom review
films he likes.  I just get the impression that he doesn't
like anything but NEAR DARK and AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN
LONDON, but I never saw reviews for these.

	So, is the Phantom indeed a reviewer of Turkeys?

	Does the Phantom exist merely to poke fun of Stephen
King movies (except MISERY)?


	I think what would be most beneficial and helpful
would be for the Phantom to recap what he considers to be
the best RECENT horror flicks; maybe the top ten and
give a short critique of each.

The normal tail lights aren't bright enough so the film makers simply

Hitchcock would have never produced a movie with a story-line as
full of holes a SOTL. Letting the main bad guy wander off mid
the way through the film would have been utterly unthinkable. To end the film
without him, then see him meandering away on an "epicure's" vacation... well

We were supposed to believe Jody Foster's character when she commented
to a friend that Lector would not be back. I missed that at the time,
because I still had hopes that the story was not falling apart. I was
muttering and shaking my head about this, and other mysteries, on the way
out of the theater, when my companion said he knew the phone call and
comment meant Lector was really out of it, because there was no other reason

If you prefer car chases and burning buildings, I'd say you probably would
be bored with a lot of Scorcese's stuff.  I personally thought Taxi Driver
was phenomenally interesting.  Character studies like this are riveting
to me.  I thought Raging Bull and Goodfellas were great too.  Such is
not that case for all people.

Taxi Driver is probably the best movie to capture any feelings
of alienation or lonliness a person could ever experience and
present them believably.  The characters are fascinating, the
direction and cinematography are compelling, and the acting is top
notch.  This movie is probably my favorite one, period.
