Total Recall Reboot Gets Booted By The Dark Knight Rises at the Box Office
Nix August 6, 2012One of these days I might end up writing a review for Len Wiseman’s “Total Recall” reboot. Right now, I don’t feel like it. The film was okay. It was slick and shiny and looked really good, but everything else about it was just … okay. Basically, there was no point to remake the Paul Verhoeven original, and I think most people realized that and stayed away as a result. This weekend, the film opened second place with $26 million, soundly beaten out for the top spot by “The Dark knight Rises”, now in its third week. But $26 million. That’s not a bad haul, right? Well, not really. Consider that it cost Sony $125 million to make the film, and when you add in the promotional costs of marketing a blockbuster, you’re probably looking at around $200 million in costs before the film even sees a cent. The thing is, I’m not even that big of a fan of… Continue Reading »
A Handful of New Total Recall Images

Fortunately these new images are heavy on the Kate Beckinsale. You can sorta see why she chose to play the bad guy in this one.

For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he’s got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs.

Kate Beckinsale is Such a Bitch in This Total Recall Clip
Nix July 17, 2012I hear tell Kate Beckinsale decided to have an American accent when she’s playing Colin Farrell’s good girl wife in the upcoming “Total Recall” reboot, but then switches over to her native English accent when her character shows her true colors.

New Total Recall Trailer Promises Kate Giving Good Wife, Wild Action, and Superfluous Breasts
Nix June 27, 2012Yay! It’s a new, totally cooler trailer for Len Wiseman’s “Total Recall”. The trailer answers that question that has been on nerd’s minds since they announced the remake: “Will the three-breasted hooker be in this thing or what?” Yes, she’s in this thing. Or at least, the trailer promises she’s in it, though I don’t know how much of her is actually in it, if you know what I mean. The trailer itself looks pretty action-packed. Not a surprise. This is Len Wiseman, after all. I expect lots of slick, visually stimulating action sequences. I was surprised to see that the film had a lot of humor, though. Best line of the year? “What can I say? I give good wife.” Starring Starring Colin Farrell, Bryan Cranston, Kate Beckinsale, Bill Nighy, Jessica Biel, Ethan Hawke, John Cho, Bokeem Woodbine, and Will Yun Lee. Colin saves the day August 3, 2012.
Is it Really Starship Troopers if There’s no Unisex Showers and No One’s Getting Decapitated by Alien Bugs?
Nix June 27, 2012Unless you’ve been living in a cave or hiding underneath a big bug that’s shooting weird explosive things out of its ass and into space, then you already know that they’re remaking Paul Verhoeven’s 1997 splatterific sci-fi actioner “Starship Troopers”. In fact, of the three sci-fi films that Verhoeven has done in his Hollywood career so far (“Troopers”, “Robocop”, and “Total Recall”), all three are currently being remade. Verhoeven’s “Starship Troopers” was a satirical take on a fascist society that valued citizenship to an elite class over individuality and free thought. Or something. Honestly, I’m sure it had a lot of fascist satire in it, but I never really bought that the film was that deep. In fact, its satire was so on-the-nose that it was kind of cringe-worthy, to be perfectly honest with you. But the movie itself was what you would call pretty damn badass. Fifteen years later, the film is still a great watch, with its combination… Continue Reading »

Len Wiseman’s Total Recall Reboot Has Lots of Action. Here are Some Proof.
Nix May 14, 2012You probably already know that Len Wiseman’s reboot of “Total Recall” is heavily action-packed. Hey, it’s Len Wiseman, the guy who did the first two “Underworld” movies and “Live Free or Die Hard”. This guy is never going to give you a movie about a dying father and his depressed son.

Nix April 10, 2012Check out a new pic from Len Wiseman’s “Total Recall” reboot (above). I guess it’s true what they say: bad guys just can’t shoot shit. Even in the future.

Dick story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale”, the 2012 version has Colin Farrell playing Douglas Quaid, a bored Everyman whose trip to a little place called Rekall for some relaxation and fake memories ends up, well, going pretty badly if those guys with guns swarming him afterwards are any indication.
