Danny (Austin O'Brien) is addicted to Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger) movies. He's seen the third one six times and now he's eagerly awaiting the released of Jack Slater IV. When his elderly friend Nick (Robert Prosky), the projectionist at a...

Last Stand, The Poster Last Stand, The

Old action heroes don't die or fade away; they just keep going. Once upon a time, being an action star had an expiration date. Now, as long as there's some acknowledgment of the aging process - a line here, a joke there - it's viewed as more of ...

Running Man, The Poster Running Man, The

The memory is not to be trusted, at least insofar as movie evaluation is concerned. When I first saw The Running Man in theaters more than 30 years ago, I believed it to be firmly rooted in the “dumb entertainment” category where many of t...

Sabotage Poster Sabotage

Sabotage, from director David Ayer (the writer of Training Day and writer/director of End of Watch), is a cop-centered thriller wrapped around a whodunit. It also attempts the significant feat of re-inventing Arnold Schwarzenegger now that his days...

Terminator 2: Judgment Day Poster Terminator 2: Judgment Day

Terminator: Genisys Poster Terminator: Genisys

He's back. After not appearing in a Terminator film for 12 years, Arnold Schwarzenegger has returned to one of the roles that made him the biggest action star of the '80s and early '90s. Will anyone care? This is the seventh film Schwa...

Total Recall Poster Total Recall

Total Recall is not a typical Arnold Schwarzenegger shoot-'em-up. Yeah, there are a lot of explosions and gun fights, but the storyline eschews the direct route, preferring a more interesting path. This is one of those futuristic action films tha...
