A classic

Yesterday, I saw it again with my step-son and, man, it was just a real blast!!! It is rather funny to see that even before he got those monster budgets, James Cameron was already able to make some pretty awesome action scenes. I mean, 30 years later, the whole thing still holds up pretty good whereas most of the 80's movies look nowadays terribly cheesy. Of course, the story was rather prepostero... read more

The 80's had a unique culture of it's own. While many decided to dish out the permy-hairs and leather clothing in many high-school movies, some went violent and dark, bringing some of the most beloved action movies of all time. The Terminator lies somewhere in-between. It mixes the permy-hairstyle, the leather-clothing, nail-biting scenes and extreme graphic violence and brings us the most classic... read more

One of the best movies in history - PERIOD!

"Listen and understand. That Terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead." The Terminator is one of the most important motion pictures of the 1980s, as it launched the career of visionary director James Cameron and catapulted Austrian bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzen... read more

The future kind of sucks. (430 movies items)

"Reason for the future sucking: Killer robots have taken over the world, and only a man sent back in time to save it, however a killer cyborg with an Austrian accent, sent to the 80's to kill the mother, of the man who would lead the army, that defeats the killer robots. Year it takes place: 2029"

Nice night for a walk.

“Is there a better person to play a cyborg than Arnold? For this movie he was a massively built oak tree of a man. His strange accent makes for a perfect callous robotic sounding killing machine. It's almost like his voice is a computer read out ( which I guess it is in one sense ). Terminator is one of those films that started something huge. People didn't realize it at the time, but the careers of Arnold, Cameron and perhaps even guys like Micahel Biehn, Lance Henriksen and even Bill Paxton were substantially started because of this film. And Cameron must have liked working with them so much that he gave all of them substantial roles in his next film ( Aliens ).

As we all know what the story is, I'll just tell you a bit about what is so fascinating about it. First I have to ment” read more
