London 2012 Olympics

Total Recall (Mind-Bending Edition)
The Paul Verhoeven / Arnold Schwarzenegger classic is back on Blu-ray and should be better looking this time around. So, why opt for this one instead of a ticket to the remake this weekend? Beyond the obvious reasons, it's also cheaper, currently listed at $7.99 on Amazon.

Total Recall ‘Mind-Bending’ Blu-ray remembers a better looking video transfer July 31st
After a disappointing initial go-round on Blu-ray back in '06 due to poor picture quality (which was improved upon slightly in a later Studiocanal release overseas), the 1990 version of Total Recall is coming back to the US with a "Mind-Bending Blu-ray Edition this summer. Timed to hit shelves along with the remake that's arriving in theaters, Blu-ray.com mentions this one promises a video transfer process supervised by original director Paul Verhoeven. There will even apparently be brand new extras including an interview with Verhoeven and featurette comparing the restoration process from the original film negative, although the Governator himself Arnold Schwarzenegger appears to be absent. The new version should run $14.99 when it arrives July 31st, assuming you're not already camped out for the Colin Farrell / Kate Beckinsale / Jessica Biel flick which opens up August 3rd. Theatrical trailers for both versions follow after the break.

Blu-ray.com | Email this | Comments Full Colin Farrell Total Recall Trailer Surfaces and the Movie Might Not Suck
My favorite all time Arnold Schwarzenegger movies is Total Recall. Granted, the first time I saw it I was a kid and the alien woman with three boobies guaranteed it was a favorite. I have watched the movie many times over the years, and honestly three boobies and the “Two Weeks” scene still sort of make the flick.
I wasn’t sure what to think when I heard Colin Farrell would be taking over the role of Douglas Quaid in the upcoming Total Recall remake. I’m not a big fan of Farrell, I can’t think of a single film he’s been in that I actually liked. The full trailer hit the web over the weekend and honestly, the movie looks pretty good so far:
Judging by the trailer, Len Wiseman’s version has a lot in common with the original 80s classic – especially the Rekall machine and the “If I’m not me then who the hell am I?” line. However, it also differs a great deal. The new movie is said to follow more closely to the Philip K. Dick short story the original was based on called We Can Remember It for You Wholesale than the Schwarzenegger film. Guess we’ll all find out on August 3, 2012 when the remake hits theaters.
