So our Arnie is back. Having put his career almost on hold to be governor of California for a few years – cameos in The Expendables and Terminator: Salvation (kind of) notwithstanding – he’s now appearing in the ensemble The Expendables 2 and as the lead in The Last Stand.
So the question of the week is:
Can Arnold Schwarzenegger revive his action movie career? And will you be going to see any of his movies?
I’m probably not going to see The Last Stand, but with the line-up of The Expendables 2, how could I resist? But how about you?
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
