TOTAL RECALL Review By: MattInRC TOTAL RECALL is a fun, action-packed summer blockbuster that's great eye candy and just smart enough for us nerds. Make sure to come back soon. We got some information from a source who saw the unfinished film who gave us some comparisons from the unfinished film and the completed movie. I remember watching Arnold Schwarzenegger's version of  TOTAL RECALL  when it came to theatres in 1990: sexy, sultry Sharon Stone , brandishing firearms against Arnold's Doug Quaid as he traveled to Mars to fulfill his destiny. The film raised interesting questions about memory without getting too involved in the discussion. Appearances by the alien named Quatto and Eddie the crazy cab driver turned hitman helped round out what I thought was a pretty good film. But in preparing for this review, rather than leaving its warm glow in my mind, I made the mistake of watching it again. Oh brother: campy and just plain cheesy, TR has not retained its

Here's an insiders look to all the secrets that Disneyland has to hold. I can check off a few for the items on the list. Can you? If I could live anywhere, I would live in The Haunted Mansion , like all year long," director Guillermo del Toro said last year at Comic-Con while discussing his upcoming film featuring Disneyland's iconic haunted house. And he's not alone. Hollywood is full of filmmakers and talent who are addicted to Disneyland, which opened in 1955 and now averages 40,000 visitors a day. Zachary Levi, Gwen Stefani, John Stamos and Miley Cyrus count themselves as Anaheim regulars, and it's the date place of choice for Ryan Gosling (he's taken Kat Dennings, Blake Lively and Eva Mendes ). "It's not about going on the rides as fast as possible," says music producer Matt Beckley . "It's an appreciation for the art that goes into it." No matter how fanatical, though, few want to brave tourist hordes. With the June o

Chris McCoy is being tapped to rewrite Guardians of the Galaxy , Marvel Studios’ space adventure movie. Galaxy is part of Marvel’s second wave of movies and is the only new title among the crop of mostly sequels featuring Iron Man, Thor and Captain America . It was revealed as the company’s mystery movie in late June and officially announced at Comic-Con in July.

Kristen Stewart may have become tabloid fodder in recent days, but the 22-year-old seems decidedly committed to being taken seriously as an actress: Vulture hears exclusively that Stewart has landed the lead role in an indie adaptation of William Styron’s 1951 novel , Lie Down In Darkness . Directed by Crazy Heart helmer Scott Cooper and set in genteel fifties Virginia, Lie Down will have Stewart play Peyton Loftis.

(Stewart will also appear in another fifties-era film, Walter Salles's On the Road, when it's released in the U.S. sometime this fall/winter.) The part of Peyton had been coveted by Jennifer Lawrence , but Lawrence will spend the better part of the next year shooting sequels. (Catching Fire ign
