In case you didn't know... "Minority Report" was based on a novel by the late great Phillip K. Dick. The same guy that wrote "Total Recall" and "Blade Runner". There are at least 10 or 20 sci-fi movies out based on his writings. "A Scanner Darkly" is another good one, a little trippy though.

2023-07-16 01:21:44 +0000 UTCNow you need to see Arnold's other benchmark movie True Lies directed by James Cameron just before he did Titanic. Unrelated to this but Tom Cruise's Edge of Tomorrow is a sci fi gem.

2023-07-10 11:32:48 +0000 UTC"Total Recall" was an adaptation of a Philip K. Dick novel or short story, as was Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" (1982). My favorite adaptation was Steven Spielberg's "Minority Report" (2002) and is one that holds up very well today.

2023-07-10 01:38:58 +0000 UTCI’m so glad you enjoyed this one! The prosthetic make-up effects are what really made this movie so awesome. Practical effects genius ROB BOTTIN was responsible. You saw a little of what he could do in “SE7EN”. If you get up the nerve to watch "THE THING" (1982) you will see how much he astounded us horror fans with mechanical monster effects that will blow you away. Oh and your mention of how certain aspects of this movie reminded you of “The Matrix”... Will you ever complete the trilogy? (Please?) 🤓

2023-07-09 16:35:31 +0000 UTCHappy Sunday, Addie! 😊 This is a great Sunday surprise! This is one of my favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger, and one of my favorite sci-fi movies. I keep forgetting that Michael Ironside, who plays Richter, is in this movie and that he's a bad guy. Definitely looking forward to watching this reaction later this evening. For some 80s sci-fi, and to see more of Michael Ironside I VERY HIGHLY recommend the 2-part 1983 mini-series "V: The Original Mini-Series" and the 3-part 1984 follow up "V:The Final Battle". Have a great day today! 😊

2023-07-09 16:15:23 +0000 UTCSpeaking of Paul Verhoeven, I also suggest Flesh & Blood (1985), RoboCop (1987), Basic Instinct (1992, UNRATED DIRECTOR'S CUT), Starship Troopers (1997) and Hollow Man (2000, UNRATED DIRECTOR'S CUT). #MorePaulVerhoevenForAddieCounts

2023-07-09 16:05:51 +0000 UTCHappy Sunday, Addie. Total Recall (1990) is one of my favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movies and one of my favorite movies that was directed by Paul Verhoeven. I even enjoyed this funny, yet brutal, sci-fi action film.
