Paycheck
Movie trailer for a new John Woo movie "Paycheck" is on apple.com. It's based on a Philip K. Dick novel. Ben Affleck plays an electrical engineer who's hired to reverse engineer some top secret technology and wakes up one morning unable to remember anything about his job. Hmm, John Woo, Ben Affleck and Phillip K. Dick sounds like a bad combination. If the movie is as bad as the trailer it might be so bad it could be fun, I guess. The memory loss plot line has been done before -- including Total Recall (also written by Phillip K. Dick) and the most excellent film Memento. Paycheck is supposed to come out at Christmas. Save your money and buy a copy of Memento on DVD and watch it again (and again, and again...)
