Yes, Ah-nuld came back this summer in Terminator 3, but he
got his start as himself (talk about typecasting!) in this behind-the-scenes
look at the 1975 Mr. Olympia competition. A pre-Hollywood Arnold trains
for the contest against Lou "Hulk Smash!" Ferrigno, Franco
Colombo and other heavy hitters. The film is notorious for showing
the Kindergarten Cop as insanely obsessed, even skipping his
dad's funeral because it gets in the way of training. He even smokes
a joint! Mrs. Maria Shriver recently bought the rights to the film,
but if you can find it, take a peek. NIGHT
OF THE DAY OF THE DAWN OF THE SON OF THE…
The title goes on like this and ends with 'Part 2,' but that's not
important. Director Lowell Mason took the zombie classic Night
of the Living Dead, deleted the soundtrack and re-dubbed it as
a comedy. There are some really funny scenes, especially the one where
the kids have a heated argument as to who's going to drive through
the living dead to pick up the pizza and another scene where Duane
Jones begs Judith O'Dea for some good lovin'. A perfect movie to watch
when you have company over. WESTWORLD
Two friends decide to spend their vacation at a futuristic resort
where you can act out your fantasies with robot employees. Things
go awry when they go to Westworld, a version of the Old West. One
of the robot gunslingers malfunctions, shoots one of the friends and
sends the other one running for his life. Really good stuff, and the
foundation for writer Crichton's other futuristic park. You know,
the one with the dinosaurs.
