What Has It Revealed About Schwarzenegger’s New Movie?

Story by David Clark

The official Maggie website released a trailer on March 25th for the new Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Maggie. Schwarzenegger is joining up with the young Academy Award-Nominated Abigail Breslin in a unique take on the zombie genre.

The trailer runs slightly longer than two minutes, and it looks like Arnold might be pushing his comfort zone with this one. The name Arnold Schwarzenegger is practically synonymous with the Terminator franchise and with a dozen other action films over the past 30 years. Simply put, the man is rarely in a movie that requires him to convincingly display a gamut of emotions with any level of conviction. Maggie might push Arnold’s acting prowess to the limit.

For those that are not familiar with the movie and that have yet to see the trailer, Maggie does not appear to be the typical post apocalyptic gore fest. In fact, society appears to be very much intact and managing the zombie infection efficiently. The trailer shows scenes with law enforcement executing quarantine laws while a voiceover explains how the infection works. Apparently it can take months, if not longer, for a person exposed to the infection to completely lose hold of their humanity. It would appear that Maggie is going to explore the human struggle that takes place within and around an infected person going through the transition.

Enter Wade (Arnold), a single father who has to watch his only daughter whither away to the zombie infection. The impression given by the trailer is not one of action but one of heartbreak, pain, and loss. Several scenes within the trailer depict missing person flyers, deserted cities, run down highways, and desolate landscapes. It gives a very lonely and introspective feel when coupled with the haunted face of Wade.

We will have to wait for the movie to learn whether Wade is able to save and cure his daughter. The trailer does not give a release date, ending with the obligatory ‘coming soon.’ In the meantime, watch the trailer below and let us know if you have any insights that we might have missed.

Movie Review: #Vacation

By Matt Cummings
Vacation makes me want to take a STAY-cation. Review by Matt Cummings It's not too often that a movie makes me wish film never existed, yet her I am ready to give the newest Vacation all the hate it deserves. And hate on it I will. Grown-up Rusty (Ed Helms) is stuck in a dull marriage to Debbie (Christina Applegate), who's been forced year after year to spend vacation with her family at a cabin in Michigan. When the overly optimistic Rusty realizes his family needs a change, he packs them up for a trip to Walley World, the site of his greatest trip as a teen. But soon, his family begins to encounter difficulties and flat-out disasters that could end their road trip and return Rusty's marriage back to square one. It might surprise our readers to know that someone from our team actually considered walking out of Vacation , and we get to see these films for free. That's how bad our experience became as we sat mesmerized by its 99 minutes of ineptit...

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
