Oh dear, Arnie, what were you thinking?
Advantages: Beautiful settings
Disadvantages: Lots, unfortunately
...the talents of Arnie for Red Sonja, in what was to be a huge flop, and an unsuccessful attempt at recreating a similar feel to the Conan films.
The Plot
Red Sonja witnesses the murders of her parents and brother, and the capture of her sister at the hands of Queen Gedren. Gedren is in the process of harnessing the power of the Talisman, an orb capable of using the sun's power to destructive purposes. Sonja's sister manages to get a message to the ...
...the title role here as Red Sonja is convincing as a fighter, but there wasn't really much there in terms of acting prowess. The part of a grieving woman was handled with not enough emotion in the right way - mere stubbornness and anger throughout was not enough for a convincing performance. Arnie plays the part of Lord Kalidor, but merely stands back and watches for the majority of the film, and doesn't really get involved too much, wielding a broadsword ...

'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 ...
