Terminator

Terminator is the first of a 4 part sci-fi/horror epic that Arnold is arguably most famous for. This amazing flick is about a human-looking cyborg sent from the future to kill Sarah Connor, who will help win a man vs machine war set in the future from which the evil robot was sent from.

Well this film is a real blast. The cast is extraordinary. This is probably Arnold Schwarzenegger's most popular role. I cannot see why it isn't. He was great as the Cyborg that was walking around, as a killing machine. His facial expressions are sketched in my memory for life. I love the scene where see a close of his face in the police car, it was brilliant.

The director of Terminator, namely James Cameron, did a great job with this film. Considering he thought up the idea from a sick bed, had it rejected that many times, it is a great credit to him. Most directors would have given up on it, but he stuck with it till he got to our screens. Thank goodness he did. The story of the Terminator is an interesting one. It has a very biblical feel to it. One man sent to help save the world, with the initials J.C., fascinated me immensely. Cameron and Co writer Gale Anne Hurd did a fantastic script for this film.

Conan the Barbarian

2011-05-25T10:40:00.000-07:00

Conan the Barbarian is designed to entertain both fans of the Howard stories of the same name and those who are unfamiliar with the character. The film takes place some 12,000 years ago, during a legendary era when magic was real, monsters wandered the land, and the gods occasionally walked the Earth. Borrowing liberally from the official Conan canon, the film chronicles the barbarian's early years, beginning with the sacking of his village and the murder of his parents, and ending with his vengeance upon his first great enemy.

An essential to own if you are an Arnie fan.
