Grab your popcorn and have a seat.
It’s time for the show!

A lot of people scoff at Arnold Schwarzenegger. Say he’s not a real actor. Tell his bank account that! LOL
I’ve loved Arnold since way back when he did his body building movies.
He did it right. Came to America, used his sculpted body to get into movies and landed in the governors seat in California. Not bad, Arnold.
An oldie but a good was his role in Conan The Barbarian. Ad in James Earl Jones as the bad guy, and I loved it.
From there he went on to play military roles, become cloned, go to mars, and fight the evil Terminators after being one himself.
I have two movies I’d like to share today.
Arnold plays a small town sherriff in The Last Stand and an adoring, conflicted father in the soon to be released zombie film, Maggie.

The Last Stand
Sheriff Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) moved out of Los Angeles and settled into a life fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction. But that peaceful existence is shattered when Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the western hemisphere, makes a deadly yet spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy. With the help of a fierce band of lawless mercenaries led by the icy Burrell (Peter Stormare), Cortez begins racing towards the US-Mexico border at 250 mph in a specially-outfitted Corvette ZR1 with a hostage in tow. Cortez’ path: straight through Summerton Junction, where the whole of the U.S. law enforcement, including Agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker) will have their final opportunity to intercept him before the violent fugitive slips across the border forever. At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small town force, Owens ultimately rallies his team and takes the matter into his own hands, setting the stage for a classic showdown.

Arnold always said, “I’ll be back!” And he sure is for me.
I found this sleeper on Netflix. I’d never even heard about it.
The Last Stand
Great casting and the villain is sexy and cold as ice.
Lots of laughs, cliches, and action that will blow you away.
As long as Arnold keeps doing films, I’ll keep watching them.
Go Arnold!

I’ve always liked Arnold as well. I didn’t know about Maggie, but will have to add it to our list to watch. And I have Last Stand on my Netflix list to get, but haven’t got it yet.
I love zombies so can’t wait for Maggie and The Last Stand was good old Arnold. Loved the bad guy too.
Arnold has always been one I have enjoyed watching – Predator is one of my favorites from the Eighties. Maggie looks interesting and The Last Stand was a solid action movie. Great post.
Oh yeah. The Predator series is awesome. I was thinking of one Arnold line I really liked. Remember this scene – “Stick around!”
