I figured since these weren’t new in that we’ve already seen trailers for Looper and Total Recall, I could bundle these. Plus they are both sci-fi flicks, so the pairing makes total sense.
First, Looper with Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emily Blunt and Jeff Daniels.
Still looks pretty interesting as we get a bit more of the movie’s storyline. I’m a bit weirded out by seeing JGL as Bruce Willis’s younger self, but not enough that I’ll avoid the film. Nice twist on the time travel/murder dilemma though.
Second, Total Recall with Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Beil, and Bryan Cranston. So we get our three-breasted lady afterall.
One of the things I loved about the original Total Recall was how shiny and plastic everything looked. This version just looks gritty and dirty – hopefully not just to seem gritty and dirty. I do prefer Beckinsale to Sharon Stone (yeah, I know Basic Instinct, yeah yeah yeah) so that is an improvement. And Bryan Cranston is always a welcome addition to any cast. I suppose I’ll hold off judgement till the terrible reviews start coming in.
