Recently, out of the blue, the hubs said he wanted more time to shine on my blog, so I told him that he could write my next movie review. So I've awarded him the task of writing not one, but two reviews here on the Muse. Let us know what you think in the comments!

This is the first time the hubs is guest posting on the Muse, so be gentle.

Hello fellow fans of the Muse. Today is my lucky day to become a guest blogger! You may have heard of me referred to as 'Hubs,' but today I gain my true identity as Ari, guest movie reviewer.
Total Recall (2012)
Total Recall was very much what you'd expect it to be from the commercials. It is a similar story to that of the 1990 original.

During a visit to Rekall, where you can imprint memories of anything you want into your mind, Colin Farrell's character becomes aware that he has been living a lie and is part of a conspiracy brewing between The Colony (aka: the slums) and The Federation (aka: urban posh). 

Total Recall provides excitement, great action scenes, and even pays homage to the first movie through what I will refer to as "the triplets". However, making a comparison to the original causes this version to fall short. For instance, it doesn't even take place on Mars. Farrell is a good actor, and so are Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel, but to make a great movie you must incorporate at least one memorable performance and it didn't really imprint that memory in my mind. But the movie is worth seeing if you are a fan of the original and don't mind a remake not living up to its predecessor (as they rarely do).
My rating: ♥♥
The Campaign
The Campaign is a comedic, political satire. It displays the evils of politics that occur when winning an election overrides a candidate's altruistic dreams.

Cam Brady, played by Will Ferrell, is the incumbent congressman running unopposed until he is challenged by the hilariously goofy Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis). When wealthy CEOs try to buy the campaign for their own corporate agenda, these two candidates find themselves sacrificing morality and family in the process. 

Among iron-jawed baby punching, awkward child confessions, and my personal favorite, the racially ambiguous Mrs. Yao, the movie offers a lot of laughs while also conveying a semi-serious message about corporations that finance elections. Overall, The Campaign was not the best movie either actor has made, but it lives up to its expectations and will entertain anyone who enjoys this kind of humor.
My rating: ♥♥♥
