Screw you Benny!!!

Advantages: Total Recall
Disadvantages: Red Sonja

...a high budget sci-fi where Arnie is Doug Quaid- a lowly construction worker whoi dreams of going to mars. His wife wont let him so he goes for the new fangled memory implant on offer for a company called RECALL. Big mistake- Arnie is an undercover operative who has had his identity changed by 'the agency' and is briefed to infiltrate rebel forces on Mars. Doug Quaid, has different ideas: In a nutshell "I dont wanna spoil it for you Doug, but rest ...
...to skip. Raw Deal Arnie is an undercover cop infiltrating a mafia gang. Wonderfully cheesey and simple with lots of killing and oneliners. Not a bad little film early on in Arnie's career. No special features to speak of on the dvd. Red Sonja This is not an Arnie movie, its a Bridgette Nielson movie in which Arnie plays a part. Its a swords and sorcery movie which is barely watchable and includes a whole host of extremely annoying characters who ...

Review of Total Recall (Blu-ray)

'Cohaagen, give them some air!'

Advantages: Groundbreaking FX, great direction and acting
Disadvantages: Over the top violence

In 1990, Total Recall was released to the public, giving us a vision of the future with an exceptional plot and wonderful direction and performances all round. The sci-fi film is set in 2084, and is a masterpiece of a twisting tale, which will make you think and watch it over and over. It is an Academy Award winning film, and for good reasons. The Plot Rekall is a company selling false memories by way of an implant in the brain. Douglas Quaid, ...
...in Basic Instinct. Here in Total Recall, she gives a very devious and cunning performance as Lori - very good. Ronny Cox plays villain Cohaagen, and plays a megalomaniac crazy for control and power very well indeed. Rachel Ticotin plays Melina, with whom Quaid is supposed to have had a relationship during one of his undercover missions as a secret agent. The actress combines very well with Arnie. There are further good performances from actors such ...

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...
