Total Recall

Beautiful, sexy and deadly.  That's how Kate Beckinsale portrayed her role as UFB secret agent Lori in the movie Total Recall!  Never had I cheered for a movie villain like I had Ms. Beckinsale!  She was in relentless pursuit of Douglas Quaid/Carl Hauser (played by Colin Farrell) all through out the film; however, much that I didn't want Ms. Beckinsale to die there's no avoiding her character's  inevitable end. 

Anyway, it was a fun movie to watch.  It had the same plot as the one Arnold Schwarzenegger did in 1990 but different settings.  The 1990 version was set in Mars where we saw humans intermingling with alien life forms (the highlight of which was the three breasted lady) while the 2012 version was set on future Earth.  Why was also a three breasted lady in this version?  Logically it doesn't seem right.  But I guess it was a trademark of the 1990 version that can't be undone.  Otherwise, the writers may have envisioned three breasted ladies to be a cosmetic fad in the future.

Jessica Biel was also kick-ass!  Double reason for you to watch it!

Total Recall Remake 2012

I had fun watching the 1990 version of Total Recall which starred Arnold Shwarzenegger, Sharon Stone and Rachelle Ticotin.  Both Arnold Shwarzenegger and Sharon Stone were the big names during that time and the movie was a commercial success (Thank you to my anonymous critic to point out that Ms. Stone is NOT yet famous during this time.  Basic Instinct made her and that was in 1992---two years before this movie.  Still, this movie was a commercial success.)  

A remake of this movie will be coming this August 2012 and will star Collin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, and Jessica Biel.   With today's CGI technology I'm sure this one will top the award winning visual effects of the original movie.  Man, there's a lot of great movies coming this year!
