Arnold Schwarzenegger To Star In ‘Toxic Avenger’

Arnold Schwarzenegger, the 65-year-old action star and former governor of California, will be taking on one of the lead roles in the remake of The Toxic Avenger.

According to IndieWire, Schwarzenegger will not be playing the toxic hero himself, but will be an important part of the plot. Our guess is that he’ll play a villain of sorts.

The Toxic Avenger, the original 1984 cult movie, followed a scrawny nerd, Melvin Ferd III. After falling into a drum of toxic waste, his body transforms and mutates, giving him near super human strength. Perhaps this would have …

Film Review Mama

Weekend Box Office Results: January 18-20

This weekend saw Zero Dark Thirty losing it’s spot to the new kid on the block: Guillermo Del Toro’s latest dark brain-child: Mama. To my own personal surprise, Schwarzenegger’s latest flick, The Last Stand, hardly made a dent on this weekend’s top 10 films with only $6.3 million in sales and a spot on the very bottom.

For info on the rest of the top 10 films, follow the jump.

MOVIE REVIEW: The Last Stand

Film: The Last Stand
Director: Kim Ji-woon
Writer: Andrew Knauer
Studio: di Bonaventura Pictures

Remember Arnold Schwarzenegger? No, not the Governor of California, I mean the real Arnold. The one that kicked a lot of ass and blew tons of stuff up. The Arnold that shot a helicopter through a building with a missile that had a guy on it after saying “You’re fired.”. The Arnold that travelled in time as a robot to kill (and then to save) the human race. That Arnold Schwarzenegger. Well guess what? He’s back.

EDITORIAL: “The Expendables 2: Why Stallone’s Ragtag Crew of Action Heroes Didn’t Deliver the Box Office Goods in Their Second Outing”

For an action movie with 11 genre heavyweights, The Expendables 2 really didn’t do that much damage at the box office this weekend. The testosterone-soaked sequel, delivered a mere two years after the original, took in a mediocre $28.75 million, an opening gross 17% lower than that of the original. Factor in the higher budget and the result is weakened even further. For a movie that shares so much in common with its successful predecessor, the gross is indeed surprising. The cast was there, the R-rating was present, the machismo and violence were delivered in heaps, the two movies even …

Total recall featured

EDITORIAL: “Total Recall: Lessons to be Learned from the Sci-Fi Remake’s Poor Performance at the Box Office”

Somewhere in California, Arnold Schwarzenegger is having a good laugh. This weekend’s remake of the action star’s 1990 sci-fi flick Total Recall opened to a so-so $26 million across 3,601 screens, a result that only slightly outperformed the original’s $25.5 million first weekend gross, and that’s before ticket price inflation is taken into account. For a production estimated to have cost between $125 and $200 million (not including marketing costs), the results spell certain doom in the profit department. Distributor Columbia Pictures is banking on a strong international performance to revive Recall but the movie now appears likely to join …
