What We’ve Been Watching

A collection of other things we’ve been watching this week. Josh has been re-watching “The X-Files” and David is watching season two of “Teen Wolf”. Other films talked about: “Jaws” and “The Avengers” on Blu-ray.

Feature Film Review

‘Total Recall’ directed by Len Wiseman and written by Kurt Wimmer and Mark Bomback and based on a screenplay by Ronald Shusett and Dan O’Bannon and inspired by the short story “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick. It stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, John Cho and Bill Nighy.

A factory worker, Douglas Quaid, begins to suspect that he is a spy after visiting Rekall – a company that provides its clients with implanted fake memories of a life they would like to have led – goes wrong and he finds himself on the run. Source: IMDB
