Movie review: The Last Stand

Grade: C-

BREAKING NEWS > Arnold Schwarzenegger can act! I know, right? It’s shocking.

I’m not saying that he’s a great actor by any means. But his performance in *The Last Stand* was a little better than decent. He appeared comfortable in his role instead of the forced performances of many of his past movies. He even displayed emotions of sorrow and remorse through expressions. I would be curious if others feel the same way about his role in this movie. What he can do with his physical skills has certainly diminished but he’s growing into a more expressive actor. I’m looking forward to seeing if he continues this trend in his upcoming movies.

The story was mind numbing. The bad guy was a cliche; the FBI agent was a cliche; the… well, I don’t want to give anything away but that other thing was a cliche as well. I’ve seen car commercials that were less predictable. In fact, this movie isn’t much more than a Corvette commercial anyway.

The one saving grace for the movie, besides Arnold’s surprising performance, is it’s campyness. Right from the first few scenes we know that this isn’t a movie to be taken seriously.

Bottom line: Unless you’re just dying to see Arnold’s return to movies in a leading roll then I’d definitely recommend this for DVD.

Brilliant idea with great information

I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.
