The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews: Total Recall (1990)

The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews is back… from the future!  Recently, Hollywood has made an attempt to wipe the original Total Recall from your memory banks, but I’m here to remember it for you - wholesale.  I’ll delve into the Schwarzenegger classic beginning with the original Philip K. Dick short story that inspired it, the film’s lengthy development, and how they pulled it all together.  And, yes, we’ll even look at that remake.  Lastly, I’ll give Total Recall’s “Mind-Bending Edition” Blu-Ray my final recommendation.  The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews is hosted by David Rose.

The DVD Shelf Mini Reviews: Mars Attacks!

In my last episode of The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews, I covered the 1994 Tim Burton film, Ed Wood, starring Johnny Depp as Wood, one of the most notoriously bad directors of horror and sci-fi films in history.  Burton’s next film, Mars Attacks!, seemed like the perfect follow-up.  The schlocky alien invasion comedy was Burton clearly trying to make his own Ed Wood-style film.  So, naturally, the best follow-up for me would be to feature Mars Attacks! as the next episode of The DVD Shelf Mini Reviews.  All this and more at your online destination where movies are celebrated, not incinerated – in 90 seconds!
