Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Black Sands Becomes Black Sunday

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Always more content when punching dreadlocked aliens, physical manifestations of the antichrist and pretty much everyone to death than when using ‘ideas’, ‘rhetoric’ and ‘any semblance of intelligence’ to get things done, it did indeed seem strange when Arnie was elected Governor of California in 2003. After slowly departing into his tenure in politics through [...]

Super 8: One small step for a man, one giant leap backwards for Science Fiction

Super 8 Retro Poster

On the 5th August, Super 8 will finally hit our shores, riding on a wave of critical praise from the other side of the Atlantic. Its combination of eighties youthful nostalgia (Stand by Me, Goonies) and Spielgburg-esque science fiction (Close Encounters, E.T) looks set to titillate young and old alike. However, Super 8 also acts [...]

Arnie Soon To Be Back on the Big Screen?

Arnie

I genuinely have nothing but love for Arnie. Even if he went off the boil a little during the years leading up to him becoming the Governator, we’ll always have The Terminator, Commando, Predator, Total Recall, Terminator 2 and True Lies. If you start talking to me about Junior or Batman & Robin, we’re going [...]

Schwarzenegger Heading Back to Hollywood?

As Arnold Schwarzenegger’s time as Governor of California draws to a close, having failed to tackle and alleviate the state’s spiralling $28 billion deficit and with approval ratings at an all time low, now would seem like a better time than any for the Austrian Oak to head back to the welcoming embrace of show [...]
