Here is a recent media posting by a friend and colleague of mine, named David Lim. His website, Ellipsis Media, is dedicated to the latest in entertainment and once in a while, I like to hear his opinions on the latest releases. They help me to decide whether or not I’m going to shell out the exorbitant amount of money that it takes to see a movie live these days. Earlier today, he helped me make up my mind on a somewhat contentious issue: whether or not to see the reboot to Total Recall.
Naturally, I had little desire to see this movie since it seemed to me that there was nothing wrong with the first one. And second, there didn’t appear to be much to this one beyond some A-listers who were cast solely for their looks. Third, they did away with the Mars angle which, though they differed drastically from the original PKD story, was still intrinsic to the first adaptation. But to hear that there was absolutely nothing original about it on top of all that, that pretty much clinched it for me.
In short, Total Recall looks like a good candidate for download!
Check out the review below, and if you’re suitably impressed, check out the site and like him on Facebook. It’s free….
I still don’t think I’m going to see Total Recall; just not in the mood for it, but if you see it I hope you enjoy it.
Nope, I’ve been deterred. Might download it, but not going to drop 12 bucks for it!
a man after my own heart. or my own wallet.
