Couple of Netflix movies on a recent rainy Sydney day:<br><br><em>Lockout (</em><a class="bbc_url" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockout_(film))">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockout_(film))</a><br><br>
Luc Besson directed piece starring Guy Pearce as wisecracking anti-hero style ex-CIA agent in the near sci-fi future. Due to various idiocy, the President's Daughter ends up on an orbiting Maximum Security prison. He's been convicted of a crime he didn't commit, has to save her etc. I thought it was OK. Couple of laughs, some Euro-style violence, and some completely inexplicable actions by the protagonists. But explosions.<br><br>
Carried mostly by Pearce and the chick from Lost/Taken (she really has an issue with staying safe). <br><br>
3 guys blown out an airlock out of 5.<br><br><br><br><em>Total Recall</em> (remake)<br><br>
This had just arrived on Netflix and I heard a lot of bad things about it. Actually, I didn't mind it. Not sure why the didn't just leave Farrell with an Irish accent, given the global nature of the entire thing. Lack of Mars was of course a thing, but also the nods to the original movie were great, along with the quality of the Jessica Biel. Just a quick reminder:<br><br><img src="https://www.popworkouts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/jessica-biel-workout-bikini.jpg" alt="jessica-biel-workout-bikini.jpg"><br><br>
Anyway, explosions, Australia being referred to as a "Colony", and the tech stuff were pretty cool. <br><br><br>
3.5 Jessica Biels out of 5.<br><br><br><br><br>
EDIT: I'm actually disappointed that no-one has really done the Philip K Dick novel properly.</p></blockquote>
It's just a short story, and a thin one at that. The Verhoeven film was as good as you could hope for. -

<p>Beil never put on a tight leather outfit and shot werewolves, I'm afraid this gives Ms Beckisdale the edge.</p>

If Kate is gonna take that off in front of you, why would you be rushing? Savour the build up for as long as possible..... -

Phew, that was close. I've heard about that movie , watching it is more terrifying than the original version of the thing and will leave you fucked up for longer afterwards. -

<p>Biel was definitely the ONLY good thing in that fucken horrific Sandler movie, "Hey Adam, lets do a movie in which you pretend you're gay the whole time when in actual fact you're not....."</p>

<p>I find it quite bizarre that a small fuck up like that can ruin a career. Voters and donors have such a bizarre double standard on these things. We all know the vast majority of politicians are duplicitous twats, but we ignore it. Then one does something pretty trivial and he/she has to go. </p>
