‘The Last Stand’ Review
23 May 2013 3:01 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Forest Whitaker, Johnny Knoxville, Peter Stormare, Eduardo Noriega, Luis Guzmán, Sonny Landham, Jaimie Alexander, Zach Gilford | Written by Andrew Knauer | Directed by Jee-woon Kim
After a temporary retirement and a brief stint as the Governator of California Arnold Schwarzenegger has returned to the silver screen. Schwarzenegger has had a few cameos in The Expendables franchise but The Last Stand marks the first time Schwarzenegger has taken the lead in a film since Terminator 3. With such a long layoff one wonders if Schwarzenegger could pick up where he left off. While he would never be confused with an acting savant, he brought a certain magnetic charm that made him one of the world’s biggest action stars. Perhaps it’s an issue of too much rust on the gears or a hindrance due to advanced age that has water downed his charismatic persona. His movements are achy, his punches are feeble, »

The Internal Damage Of The Hood: A History Behind Green Arrow
22 May 2013 2:52 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
To whomever coined the term, “Sweet Sixteen”, you sir or madam are a liar. I remember my sixteenth year being one of the worst years of my life. It all started a couple months shy of my sixteenth birthday when my mother told us that our father had been abusing some substances, which I will remain nameless. She told us that there may be a slight chance of us moving to Texas to live with my aunt. That’s how serious the condition of my father’s addiction really was. That was just my home life. That’s not to mention the subjects in school I was failing and the issues with the girl I was dating at the time. All of this started coming down and weighting on me pretty darn heavy.
So I thought and pondered over a few sleepless nights and broke up with that girlfriend and »

Arnie caught grabbing ex wife's butt on camera
22 May 2013 4:35 AM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
Washington, May 22: Arnold Schwarzenegger has seemingly confirmed rumours that he's back with his estranged wife Maria Shriver after he was caught on video grabbing her butt last weekend.
The actor, who was attending daughter Christina's graduation at Georgetown with Shriver, can be seen cupping his wife's behind in the video footage, TMZ.com reported.
The 'Terminator' star has always been obsessed with Shriver's butt since he met her in the '70s and he recently told a story on "60 Minutes" about how he told Shriver's mother her daughter has a "great ass". (Ani) »

Be Back for ‘The Last Stand’ Drinking Game
21 May 2013 7:30 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Well, Arnold Schwarzenegger did say he’ll be back. In fact, he said it in pretty much every movie he did after The Terminator. It lasted well into the 90s. Now, he really is back as small-town sheriff Ray Owens in the action film The Last Stand, and he is the only thing standing in the way of a ruthless drug cartel kingpin escaping to Mexico. The Last Stand was a bit of a flop in theaters. (Okay, let’s admit it: It was a huge flop in theaters.) However, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad film. It’s one of those entertaining popcorn movies that actually works well for home viewing, and it’s small-town charm lends itself to being watched with a beer in hand. While this won’t live on as one of Schwarzenegger’s greatest movies, The Last Stand is still a lot of fun to watch and offers a cool »

Cinema’s Greatest Villains: The 1970′s
19 May 2013 4:43 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Recent hot cinema topics such as the portrayal of the Mandarin character in Shane Black’s Iron Man 3 and speculations about what classic Star Trek villain Benedict Cumberbatch’s character in J.J Abrams’ Star Trek: Into Darkness was modeled after leading up to the film’s release, among others, underline the importance of great villains in genre cinema.
Creating a great cinematic villain is a difficult goal that makes for an incredibly rewarding and memorable viewer experience when it is achieved.
We’ll now take a look at the greatest film villains. Other writing on this subject tends to be a bit unfocused, as “greatest villain” articles tend to mix live-action human villains with animated characters and even animals. Many of these articles also lack a cohesive quality as they attempt to cover too much ground at once by spanning all of film history.
This article focuses on the 1970’s, »

Arnold Schwarzenegger in Talks to Play Major Role in ‘Toxic Avenger’ Remake
16 May 2013 5:44 AM, PDT | Destroy the Brain | See recent Destroy the Brain news »
I f**ing love the internet. Everyday I’m fascinated on what may be sitting in my inbox or my daily news feed in regards to our world which thanks to the internet is awake 24/7. So of course I was pleasantly surprised when I woke up in the wee hours of the morning to take out the dog and decided to glance at my phone. I saw something about Arnold Schwarzenegger in talks to star in the remake of The Toxic Avenger. I immediately rubbed the newly formed sleep out of my eyes and gave a double glance. “Who is relaying this nonsense”, is the first thing to came to mind. Why in the hell would the former action mega star slash Governor of California want anything to do with the beloved tale from Lloyd Kaufman and crew? After searching a little more I found a clearer answer but not a definitive one. »

Crowdfunding Friday: mice, monsters and a Christopher Walken dinosaur

Here's a fresh batch of worthy, geek-friendly crowdfunding projects that have caught our eye this week...
The best part of putting together this weekly crowdfunding column? While trawling through the dozens of ideas that appear online every day, we stumble on all kinds of weird and wonderful things.
Some ideas are semi-practical - a new kind of flip-flop with soles made from astro turf, for people who want to feel as though they're walking on grass all day long - while others are downright strange - such as a set of tabletop gaming figures shaped neat like little human backsides.
Some ideas are commercial and enticing enough to sale past their funding goal - a zombie Lego Batman mash-up animation's already doing well - while others are rather more niche - we spotted a strip poker text adventure, which has, unsurprisingly, attracted rather less interest so far. »

Arnold Schwarzenegger To Star In The Toxic Avenger Remake As “The Exterminator”
15 May 2013 9:40 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Action hero turned Politician Arnold Schwarzenegger is in talks to bring Troma classic The Toxic Avenger back to life, according to a report over at Deadline this week.
The reboot will be directed by Hot Tub Time Machine’s Steve Pink who has also co-written the script alongside writing partner Daniel C. Mitchell. But for those of you hoping the former Terminator star will be appearing as the tutu wearing anti-hero himself will be most disappointed when we tell you big Arnie is in talks for a less prominent, less mutated and let’s face it less ridiculous role.
According to Deadline, Schwarzenegger will play a character called ‘The Exterminator’ (so clever Hollywood) who mentors the titular hero after he is transformed from a geeky janitor into a superhuman creature after being dumped in a cannister of toxic waste by a group of local high school thugs.

'Toxic Avenger' Remake: Will Arnold Schwarzenegger Take on Troma?
14 May 2013 8:51 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
What's weirder, that the former Governor of California might appear in "The Toxic Avenger," or that there's a 21st Century remake of the freaky underground favorite in the works? The original "Toxic Avenger" was a low-budget, gross-out comedy about a nerd who mutates into a gnarly superhero and takes on the bad guys of Tromaville, NJ. Although it's not clear which part Arnold Schwarzenegger is in talks to play, this is indubitably an odd move for the former Terminator. Heck, it's an odd move to reboot this for today's audience, even with an updated story: to wit, "an average teen joins an environmental club to impress his crush. While doing some investigating at a waste plant, he is thrown into a tub of waste and transforms into a radioactive hero." Writer and director Lloyd Kaufman and his studio, Troma Entertainment, have been an endless font of modern B-movie madness since the '70s. »
