the brain from planet arous

last night we were going to see house of sand and fog but due to train delays ended up seeing the brain from planet arous instead. it's practically the same movie. "brain" is a classic tale of a nuclear scientist who gets possessed by a horny criminal brain from outer space. (the planet "arous" is pronounced like "aris" in a sneaky 1950s effort to get some sexuality into the film past the censors). it was quite entertaining. they even snuck a bit of neuro-anatomy into the plot to keep my wife happy. fun for the whole family! (and its out on dvd too!).
