Can you believe this is the first time I ever watched this movie?

Dustin Hoffman shows you why he has won Oscars... He has the ability to truly envelope himself in his role. At times you forget he is only pretending to be a woman!

The movie is a bit dated but it has truly great and funny moments. I don't think I've ever seen Bill Murray so subdued in ANY movie. Geena Davis is smokin' hot!

Two thumbs up!

My Thoughts:
This is the first time in years I have seen Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It really was like watching this movie for the first time again. I never seen the original from the 50's.... but I have seen both remakes (this one & Body Snatchers) If you never seen this movie I would say it is definitely worth checking out. It is a pretty good movie... though it is a little on the slow side. With all said and done I would Recommend it.
