Total Recall (2012) - IMDb Not bad. Some obvious departures from the original, but not bad.

Rockford's sometime side-kick Angel was my favorite. He'd show up and I'd start laughing. Margolin played 'Angel' and a similar character in another (short-lived) Garner series that I liked: Nichols. Margolin's character had similar manic energy as the later 'Kramer' (Michael Richard's role on Seinfeld). Margolin may be most remembered for his role as 'Little Joe' in Kelly's Heroes opposite Telly Savalas Clint Eastwood.

Just found this out and thought you'd be interested, from wikipedia on James Garner:
"Later, he joined the National Guard serving seven months in the United States. He then went to Korea for 14 months in the Regular Army, serving in the 5th Regimental Combat Team in the Korean War. He was wounded twice, first in the face and hand from shrapnel fire from a mortar round, and second on April 23, 1951 in the buttocks from friendly fire from U.S. fighter jets as he dived headfirst into a foxhole. Garner was awarded the Purple Heart in Korea for the first injury. For the second wound, he received a second Purple Heart (eligibility requirement: "As the result of friendly fire while actively engaging the enemy"), although Garner received the medal in 1983, 32 years after his injury.[11][14][15][16] Garner was a self-described "scrounger" for his company in Korea, a role he later played in The Great Escape[17] and The Americanization of Emily."

Gnomey! Is this your first time seeing it? I have read that Tolkien wanted to create a national myth (ignoring the arthurian cycle?)
from: National Geographic Lord of the Rings -- myth storytelling
"Tolkien created the mythology and history of Middle-earth to serve as the poetic legend he felt his homeland, England, lacked."
Don't all English citizens receive a set of Tolkien on their first birthday and must have read it before being allowed to enter school?

Love that one where he uses his teddy bear to paint, classic move distracting the bear's attention so he could "insert" the brush handle! First time I saw that I laughed so hard I almost p*ssed myself!
As for me, I have started "Band of Brothers" again. "You PEOPLE are at the position of attention!"

Our oldest son has worked at the local movie theatre for ten years now. He has a pretty good grasp on popular culture. He said that 90% of the people asked for their money back. Don't know if that is a national average or just the uptight individuals that inhabit the town around me. I haven't seen it.

Spoiler alert: Did the move portray the actual fate of Pi's mother and the real identity of the tiger? or did Hollywood clean it up? That's a part of the book that I wouldn't expect to be in the film version. When the shrinks come in and discuss what really happened to him. I don't think I'll go see it if they deviate from the book.

I don't know if its part of that show but I have an episode of Mr. Bean on VHS that was a Christmas special (I think). He plays with some toy army men in a store and...it was one of the funniest things I ever seen!!!!

"Return of the Jedi" - My 6 year old is on his Star Wars stage
Always like that show, especially loved some of the messages left on the recorder at the start!
James Holland - "Fortress Malta". Documentary of the book of the same name that he did for the BBC, it is on the iPlayer for those that missed it.
There is another on tankers there as well that is not bad either.
