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.

Movie Watching Must Have!!

I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!
