Just got through watching Schwarzenegger's movie The Last Stand. I've got say, it wasn't too bad. Better than the Expendables 2. These guys look old though, eh oldcart? Tongue

Nothing new. John Wayne carried on with "action" movies till he was virtually using a zimmer frame. As long as you, the discerning U.S. movie going public keep on watching them , they'll keep on churning it out.......

A bigger question is how does such a shit actor as Nicholas Cage get to do soooo many movies?????

Does he pay to act like some F1 drivers? More ham than a whole farm of pigs.

When he was a mere lad he changed his last name from Coppola to Cage.

Have not seen Last Stand but in general, certain people make better movies on a consistent basis than others. No reason to stop because of age. It's not to say they don't put out stinkers from time to time though. To me, probably 75% of all movies made are unwatchable. Another 10% are barely watchable as long as there is nothing else to do. Maybe 5% are really good and worth the time. Because of my sleeping difficulties I see a lot of crap movies. It amazes me that people can find funding to make these things.

Arnold is back to doing what he is good at. I loved Expendables (Expenditures) 2. Van Damme was great. These movies survive by people paying to watch them.

That answers a lot of questions. I didn't know that.

He changed it so as to not get special treatment. He was awesome in "The Family Man".

Nah, for me 'Face Off' was equally bad but to be fair he didn't have a chance with that whole setup - a turkey , first to last!
The only one he did that was acceptable (to me) was Captain Correlli's Mandolin his overacting was pretty much what the book called for. It's a shame they changed the ending to make it more "Hollywood".

Cage also took as many roles as he could for awhile because his business manager embezzled a ton of cash and the IRS came calling. He had mansions in foreclosure all over the place and probably still has a ton of lawsuits against him in the courts.

How about Ghost Rider, pretty bad. His sixth highest grossing movie.
