The Money Pitt (1986) 7.5/10
A lost gem from the 80s, this feel good comedy is held together partly by a sparky central of Tom Hanks (who was always at his best as phyiscal and yet likeable comic) and the very charming Shelley Long. The pair bring depth to what could have been pretty empity stuffy middle class parts. The set pieces are exciting and the scripts keeps you entertained pretty much all the way through. A film of its time and that is a good thing.
Total Recall (1990) 7.5/10
Classic Arnie action romp, with Verhoeven bringing an edge and intelligence to do justice to Phililp K. Dicks desturbing version. The visually effects and set design are very good and the bad guys ozes with menice. Good to see it again before Hollywood no doubt bucther it with the remake treatment.
