Arnold's Back

With all the sequels making money this summer, it's time for an old veteran to get back in the game; and what better way to come up than Independence Day weekend. It's been 12 years since we last saw him with the red eye, but where there's money and some die-hard fans, the producers have found a way to bring back Arnold Schwarznegger in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, coming out on July 2. Also featured in the film are Nick Stahl, Claire Danes, & Kristanna Loken as the latest T-X.

Till next time,

28 Days Later (in Indie)
In a throwback to yesteryear films (The Omega Man, The Last Man of Earth), 28 Days Later is a riveting chiller that is more than just a zombie movie and better than most post-apocalypse films.

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (in Film)
Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle is filled with a mindless plot, Matrix-like stunts and enough girl power that improves on the first film. It’s the one film this summer you know not to take serious because the girls just wanna have fun.

The Hulk (in Film)
For over four decades, the comic book character The Hulk formerly known as The Incredible Hulk found its way into the minds of children as well as adults as Bruce Banner’s alter ego. Older generation knew him as the muscle bound weight lifter dipped in green paint played by ex- wrestler Lou Ferrigno. However, for today’s generation he is new and improved.
