Arnold Schwarzenegger Reviews, Interviews & More
This week offers a number of this year’s earlier films, most of which failed to make much of an impression at the box office. This was sad for Arnold Schwarzenegger, and for Warner Brothers, who thought they might have the next Twilight/Harry Potter on their hands. There’s also a ton of cool older titles hitting DVD and Blu-ray this week....
Sometimes the best thing about a film is also the worst thing about it. The Long Goodbye is a memorable film experience, but much of its appreciation comes from the ability to understand how it goes against a genre, and your appreciation of other films by the same director. If you're well versed in noir and Robert Altman films, you'll find this film interesting...
Let's stop with the "Arnold is back!" jokes and get straight to the facts. Yes, he is indeed back in the film world and is once again taking over the action genre that turned him into the superstar he is today. Along with that, he's revisiting some of the roles that made him famous, one of those being the terrifying cyborg in The Terminator franchise. His face, and his character, are...
After years of waiting, we're finally getting another Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. This weekend, we'll feast our eyes on some goofy action in Jee-woon Kim's The Last Stand. The cast, including Schwarzenegger himself, recently spoke about their rough shoot. And yes, Schwarzenegger may be old, but he can still kick ass.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is back -- officially. The veteran action star returns in his first starring role with Jee-woon Kim's The Last Stand. Like most January releases, one would consider this another throwaway movie devoid of any entertainment. Thankfully, The Last Stand is good old-fashioned cheesy fun.
With Thanksgiving this Thursday, there’s a paucity of new releases, partly because sales are going to be all about the discounts and deals that come with Black Friday. So there’s one new movie that’s actually pretty entertaining (The Expendables 2), one of the most famous bombs in the history of cinema, and a box set featuring most of the films of one of...
Arnold Schwarzenegger is in the midst of a full-blown comeback into action films--and the good folks over at Lionsgate are taking full advantage of that fact and exploiting it in their final poster for what hopefully will be some mind-numbing fun in The Last Stand.
It’s that time of year again, when the rumors about a Terminator 5 begin to circulate anew, once again struggling to continue a series that began with a great first film, followed by a perfect sequel, followed by two films that, well… at the least the special effects were pretty good. Read on for the latest in Terminator 5 happenings.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s post-Gubernatorial life certainly has been… interesting. After leaving office, the actor faced the very public reveal of his affair with a housekeeper, he lost his wife, he wrote a book, and has lately been throwing himself into every action film he can find, as if he wasn’t 65 years old, but a spry 30. He’s already popped up in The Expendables...
It seems the Expendables phenomenon is a force not to be reckoned with; the successful action extravaganza has given new life to Arnie and Sly's flagging careers, there’s already a second sequel potentially in the works, and now we’ve heard news of an all-female incarnation. Excited? Then read on for more.
As Arnold Schwarzenegger has been telling us for nearly three decades, he's back. But this time, he means back into movies after his cameos in The Expendables movies. Arnie has returned to action with the film The Last Stand, which hits theaters January 13, 2013.
The roster of talent involved with the Expendables movies means that - even if the first picture was pretty terrible - there's a thrill that comes with the sequel. And it seems like The Expendables 2 knows the problems the first film had and decided that the best way to deliver a sequel is just make it a greatest hits of action icons doing...
If you were a kid in the 1980s who loved action flicks, there was one team-up you dreamed you’d see hit the big screen—Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. But despite the occasional tease and cameo (The Last Action Hero, The Expendables franchise), a full-on team up never happened. Until now, that is, when both actors are a little older,...
If you’ll recall, back in January, Chuck Norris demanded that The Expendables 2 be downgraded from a hard R like its predecessor to a lighter PG-13 because, quote, “so kids can see it.” Because, as you know, if there’s one thing children need to be watching, it’s Chuck Norris and a cache of 1980s action stars pretending to murder a lot of people.
Sam Worthington and Arnold Schwarzenegger share the Terminator franchise, but have never really been in a movie together (CGI Schwarzenegger doesn't count). But that might change very soon. Avatar's leading man is in talks to join David Ayer's Ten, which currently stars California's former governor.
Today, Sylvester Stallone returned to Comic-Con, and brought his action hero buddies with him. The Expendables 2 panel, which took place at the legendary Hall H, opened with a trailer, which ScreenCrush's Jordan Hoffman best described as a "roll call of action cinema's greatest heroes intercut with images of explosions and fisticuffs."
How do you screw up the excitement for the cheesy goodness that is The Expendables 2? I mean, you’ve got an action film starring Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, Dolph Lundgren, and Jason Statham—it’s going to be big, stupid fun, right? So how do you knock the goodwill for the film down a peg? You release a...
Looking as if Sylvester Stallone took one look at the horrible theatrical poster for The Dark Knight Rises and said, “hey could we do that, but even crappier?,” the final theatrical poster for The Expendables 2 is a sight to behold. Featuring cartoonish flames, photoshopped heads floating on top of bodies, and actors with about 25 years sandblasted off of their faces,...
Love him or hate him, director James Cameron has never been one to play it safe. But Cameron just announced that he is not open to developing any projects, original or otherwise, in the near future. Instead he will focus entirely on directing sequels to his groundbreaking 3D epic Avatar. This is cause for concern. In the past, some directors opted to coast off huge...
Featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger announcing “I’m back!,” Jason Statham stabbing a groom at a wedding and declaring “I now pronounce you man and knife,” and Sylvester Stallone crashing an airplane into a train tunnel in the side of a mountain, the trailer for The Expendables 2 features some of the most ludicrous action clichés committed to celluloid since...
