Total Recall (2012) and Jobs

Jobs - Got the Dvd from the Library and was amazed at how bad it was. I thought it was just me. I didn't really like the real Steve Jobs and don't like all the worship of Tech Giants and Businessmen in general. Afterwards, I saw it had an IMDB rating of 5.6. So, I felt vindicated.

Total Recall (2012) - A remake of the popular SF Arnold Schwarzenegger movie about a man who has a "memory implantation" and everything goes wrong. Given the advance in CGI, and a chance to improve on the original this SHOULD be better. But it isn't. Its much less funny and much dumber than the 1990 version. The special effects ARE better, but that's it. Even worse is the moronic "You go girl" action feminism. In the original, it was stupid enough when 130 lbs. Sharon Stone got into a physical fight with 200 lbs, ripped Arnold. In this version, Kate Beckinsale physically overpowers (using a Headlock!) Colin Farrell and almost beats him to a pulp. How you can remake a popular movie, spend more money, use almost the same plot, and still come out with a loser is beyond me.
