Total Recall: What We Learned in 2008
by RT Staff | December 31, 2008
Blog Article | Discuss Article
Summary

We go to the movies for a lot of reasons: to laugh, to cry, to be scared, to escape. However, the best movies can enlighten and challenge us; by the time we leave the theater, if we're lucky, we may just learn something. With that in mind, we at RT compiled a list of things we took away from 2008's cinematic slate -- and don't worry, there won't be a quiz at the end. Back to Article

I think I got ripped off. I was a normal guy who rode a motorcycle but instead of getting whisked off to some ancient temple I just wrecked the bike and ended up with a broken leg. I demand a re-write.

We also learned that Steven Speilberg and George Lucas have no idea how to make good movies with story anymore
