Video: Total Recall 2012 Official Trailer [HD]: Colin Farrell Recalls His Dangerous Past: ENTV

Let's face it, whilst the original Total Recall from 1990 is a cult classic, it's not a particularly good film. Like so many sci-fi films it's based on a novel by Philip K Dick and harbours an intriguing story, but in hindsight the special effects are appalling and Schwarzenegger's acting is abysmal, even if the script is very tongue-in-cheek. Wiseman's updated film, however, takes itself far too seriously. The core concept is the same, but events unfold quite differently in his generic dystopian future. Bored with the routine of [...]

Director: Len Wiseman Cast: Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston Certificate: 12A Running Time: 118 mins Release: 29th August Take one cult classic, strip out almost everything that made it so beloved, pump it full of modern Sci-Fi action circuitry and what do you get? Surprisingly, an enjoyable and kinetic reimagining that succeeds on its own merits without the crutch of nostalgia. World War III has toasted the earth, leaving Great Britain and Australia the only bits left you wouldn't scrape into the bin (though they're both seemingly [...]

I think I am slightly too young to have fully appreciated the original Total Recall. By the time I saw it the 'dream vs. reality' concept was fairly played out and the effects seemed a little dated. I was fairly anxious to revisit a story that was familiar but updated with modern special effects and I wasn't disappointed. Colin Ferrel plays the role of factory worker Douglas Quaid, made famous by Arnold Schwarzeneggar in the original in 1990. Quaid is unhappy with his lot in life and decides to use a service called Rekall to implant [...]

If you want to know what are my top 25 most anticipated films of the rest of 2012, hit the break. But keep in mind, I generally like my movies big, with guns and capes and aliens and boobs and all that kinda obnoxious stuff.  You’ll find a few smaller flicks here—like the one about the origin of the vibrator—but mostly, this is for manly movies! But I’m sure you knew that. Hit the break. (WHAT WILL PROBABLY [...]

The new Total Recall remake, directed by Len Wiseman and starring Colin Farrell, probably doesn't have a three-breasted hooker in it. Which, in my eyes, makes it completely irrelevant. As with the campy Verhoven/Schwarzenegger 1990 original, this one is based on the Philip K. Dick short story “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale.” But that's probably where the similarities end. Whereas the original went for sci-fi camp, punctured with gasp-inducing violence - as is the Verhoven norm - the new flick, at least based on the first trailer, plays out like a grimy, sci-fi [...]
