We Can Remember It For You Wholesale





Today, I read the original inspiration for the 90's sci-fi flick Total Recall with Schwarzenegger and loved it equally as much as the movie.

The movie expands greatly upon the very short story written by Philip K. Dick, and does justice to the loose ends he left. In the short story he never actually returns to mars to seek out the truth of his secret mission; he instead turns himself in to discover the truth of his past and to avoid any further damage or confusion in his life. The ending to the short story is very cool though, but would have been impossible to include in the plot of the movie.

Read it.

The new Harry Potter movie is Catholic-approved by the Vatican due to it's clear of separation of good and evil.

Benjamin Button


I saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button last night and loved it. It was great visually, the cast was great, graphics of the old man were very believable, and the story amazing as well. Some very funny supporting characters; the "lightning guy" was hilarious, the captain/artist, as well as his mother. I say 5 stars, flawless. Brad Pitt took to this part very well, it being a very strange character for someone to imagine themselves as. Go see it for yourself.

(1972) : Solaris


I just witnessed one of the greatest, and longest, sci-fi movies ever made. 'Solaris' , based on the novel by Stanislaw Lem, was a psychological sci-fi movie based on an alien planet that seems to be affected by the presence of the human conscience. The ocean-planet appears to feed off of dreams, brain waves, or just the psyche in general, but primarily at night time. In the words of Ken Andrews, it's "...ON AN OCEAN THAT HAS A BRAIN AND MAKES US DREAM." It physically manifests memories; places, people, etc. from one's past. Great movie, but it's about 3+ hours, so unless you really like old sci-fi, maybe just watch the remake, its about half the length. Click the title to check out the specs.

Pineapple Express!!!


I saw a promotional screening of 'Pineapple Express' last night and I can't wait to see it again. I haven't laughed that hard at the movies, ever. James Franco was the best stoner ever, I wouldn't be surprised if he was actually high on set. Anyways, it was hilarious and Lumburg is the bad guy, and also hilarious. Go see this movie immediately... well when it comes out. FIVE STARS!!!! seriously five.
