Movie Review: ‘Total Recall’ Starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckensale, Bryan Cranston

Movie Review: ‘Total Recall’ Will Alter Your Memories, For the Worse
When I was growing up, I watched three things: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ghostbusters, and Arnold Schwarzenegger films. Anime? No thanks. Disney movies? Get that weak sauce out of here.

Sam Worthington Taking Another Sci-Fi Adventure
With TERMINATOR SALVATION, AVATAR, and CLASH OF THE TITANS, Sam Worthington was looking like the new “it” action star for studios to turn to. The problem was that two out of three of those films were not good, and I personally think AVATAR is over-rated. Since then, Worthington has starred in two smaller films, THE […]
