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.

This is a great app. I wish more people would support it

This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!

Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.
