The Running Man & Total Recall back-to-back.


Nothing like revisiting two of my favorite childhood flicks, and still big guilty pleasures. Arnie is his usual self, but more "human" in these two...and both flicks have plenty of moments when his "accent" is pronounced while delivering dialogues.

Sharon Stone never looked more yummier in the latter, while Maria Conchita Alonso was totally out of place in the former. Both interesting premises, with good decent executions. The testosterone levels in the former were at boiling point, while the CGI and makeup effects in the latter were amply evident.

The mutants looked cool, though, despite all that.
