The Last Stand (2013)

Schwarzenegger’s big return to Hollywood. The script is completely contrived and deep into ridiculous country. There’s nothing to reward you here mentally. A few action sequences are up to snuff, but plenty of others are laughable.

There is a scene where two gas guzzling Chevy’s are plowing through a subsidized corn field while The Terminator is shooting at a bad guy. I call this scene “America”, and I don’t mean that as a compliment.

Predator (1987)

I watched this for my 3rd time I think, this time on Blu-Ray. I guess they did as much as they could with the picture quality, as it wasn't the usual crisp Blu-Ray image.

The movie itself holds up fairly well over time. You can't help but chuckle at Arnold's classic 2 or 3 word catchphrases. Plus, it's the only movie featuring two US governors as action heroes.
