TOTAL RECALL (1990) - May 14, 2007 (Umpteenth Viewing)
Ah, now THIS is an action movie. They don't make them even remotely like this anymore. Arnold Schwarzenegger is at his wisecracking best in this film about a man who discovers that he's been living a double life, and that he's really a secret agent on Mars. Gleefully violent, the film earns its R rating in a way contemporary action movies don't even dream to do. There are few people who can direct action as well as Paul Verhoeven (and it certainly isn't by shaking the camera and cutting a million times a second). Good stuff. ****
