Saturday Night at the Movies 9/21/13!

Who cares what picture we see?


Earl Boen - I think...yes...yes, he would! So let's make it all about this one tonight...

I dearly love this sci-fi action flick. It fires on every cylinder and almost never slows down to even take a breath. Thank goodness the original casting - Arnold as Reese and O.J. Simpson (!) as the Terminator - didn't happen!



Of course, this movie's success led to a sequel - but it was seven years later. And then they waited another 12 years to do it for the third time. Thankfully we don't have to wait 19 years to make this a

 

 

Saturday Night at the Movies Triple Feature!

Let's pause for a very important message regarding your rights to watch television at no cost to you:

And our third flick for the evening:

All those years later - with Arnold in his mid 50's - and Cameron not returning, but turning the director's chair over to Jonathan Mostow - I wasn't sure this one was going to work.


It works!


Solid sci fi action - with Nick Stahl replacing insurance risk Eddie Furlong as John Connor - and a solid storyline that still manages to advance the story and make sense even with all the time travel and whatnot. Add to that new Terminatrix Kristanna Loken looking hot while being badass - and a plethora of incredible action and effects - this is another worthy sequel in the series.

The first three movies, though? Those are on Blu-Ray in the video vault and I'm ready to set them spinning back to back to back whenever you are - like even tonight, if you cared to come by!
