Jim said on Friday, August 17, 2012 1:33:07 AM To me there's too many remakes of good movies being done that aren't needed with Point Break, Dirty Dancing, Time Bandits, Near Dark and Romancing the Stone in the works, I'm sick to my stomach. There's much more books to make into movies so why not just make those and leave classic good movies alone. Total Recall was a classic, I didn't see the new film but I doubt it's an instant classic like the original.

RIK FONTANA said on Sunday, August 05, 2012 10:18:38 PM Almost Total Agreement for Total Recall, Richard. 'A' for the original, but too much Mindless action in what should be a thought-provoking film for the new version, so 'C+'.
David Pittner said on Sunday, August 05, 2012 10:57:27 AM Are there links to read your reviews or am I always forced to watch video? Sometime I'm on my phone in public in line somewhere or in a waiting room and would just like to read what you have to say about a film. Also, sometimes my phone has issues playing the videos so I have a difficult time with it.
