Total Recall

Colin Farrell and his eyebrows.
Somewhere deep inside me, there's a sixteen-year-old boy that loved the shit out of the new Total Recall. Sure, it should have been at least fifteen minutes shorter, and five of those fifteen minutes were just shots of Kate Beckinsale striding purposefully down various corridors with her hair blowing dramatically around her face. Whatever. It was still a sweet valentine to a certain kind of sci-fi action movie from the late '80's and '90's. What it lacked in plot coherence, it made up for in sincerity, much of which was provided by Colin Farrell's bushy, soulful Irish eyebrows, which were constantly climbing his forehead in adorable consternation.
