    The kid playing Evil Ed was going off!

    "It's a good family movie; plenty of humor; a great story; Wonderful scenery. It really show what's special about our country even though it's a film about death."

    One of the most incredible documentaries ever made.

    ★★★★½

    By no means a "good movie" in the traditional sense, but who cares. It's an excuse to watch one of the funniest men who ever lived do his shtick for an hour and a half.

    I saw it in the theater and I've seen it approximately a thousand times since and gags like "Men in Black......who like to have sex with each other," "You know what hurts the most is the lack of respect.....," "... here's your two dollars," and about a dozen others still make me laugh as hard as ever.

    Total Recall

    ★★★★½

    I love Blade Runner, I love Minority Report, but this is the best Philip K Dick adaptation.

    A problem with a lot of "Elevated Sci Fi" is that it gets so caught up in it's ideas that it forgets to be fun. But Verhoeven found the perfect balance here between taking PKD's story seriously when it needed to be taken seriously, but also throwing in a ton of shootouts, chases, incredible practical effects, three titted women, Arnold one liners, etc.
