Total Recall: What We Learned in 2008
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
