Do you want to know how you can tell that I'm from the '80s? I remember when Arnold Schwarzenegger was a big freaking deal. Kids these days (listen to me) probably don't know much about Arnold. Sure, they'll likely know of the Terminator movies, but when it comes to the actor who made the series what it is today? I'm thinking negatory. His days as a megawatt star are mostly over.
In Hollywood's youth-centric cycle, this is perfectly natural! Especially for an action hero (one might even say that Schwarzenegger is the - wait for it - last action hero). That said, I think it would be unfair to totally write off Arnold’s post-Governator career as an actor. Sure, there have been some clunkers, which I’ll definitely get into, but there have also been some surprising and interesting performances from the man who once asked a group of kindergarteners who their daddies were, and what they did for a living. And, I want to discuss all of it.
