Invasion of the Body Snatchers – Thursday, October, 9, 2008 7:00pm
Tapping into the ever-resilient metaphor of pod people as creepy manifestations of our collective fears of alienation, loss of identity, and the unknown, Philip Kaufman's 1978 sci-fi thriller ups the ante on terror in his classy remake of Don Siegel's 1956 cult classic, Invasion of the Body Snatchers. With its atmospheric mood of '70s paranoia, Kaufman's film adaptation of Jack Finney's novel features Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, and Leonard Nimoy in this socially relevant allegory imagining a world drained of human emotions and the chilling results of embracing blind conformity. Please note: Invasion of the Body Snatchers has adult content and violence.

Rosemary's Baby – Thursday, October, 30, 2008 7:00pm
MCASD marks the 40th anniversary of a true cinematic masterpiece by a master of the macabre. Quietly devastating in its juxtaposition of realism and the occult, film director Roman Polanski's 1968 screen adaptation of Ira Levin's novel of the same name renders a truly believable world where the existence of the supernatural is either the trappings of the troubled psyche of mother-to-be Rosemary (portrayed by a superb Mia Farrow), or something all too real. Please note: Rosemary's Baby has adult content, violence, and nudity.
