Review: Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'Last Stand' a pointless modern western

Schwarzenegger is back, and his timing couldn’t be any worse. At a time when violence in movies is being scrutinized, Arnold arrives with a no-holds-barred shoot-em-up in “The Last Stand.”

Fast cars, cheeky one-liners and very, very big guns showcase this mild, pointless modern western. “The Last Stand” is a dumbed-down, mutated, contemporary version of the western classic “High Noon.” Though it’s not a remake by any stretch of the definition, the similarities are obvious. Schwarzenegger is the friendly, but exhausted Sherriff Ray Owens of the sleepy Arizona border town Sommerton Junction. The most action the town gets is from the rival football team, but when Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), the leader of an international drug cartel escapes an FBI transport and makes his way to the Mexico border via a supped-up Corvette ZR1, and by way of Arnold’s little hamlet, the town of Sommerton (with a population of 10, it seems) gets an unexpected war.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

Running Time:2 hr. 4 min.
Release Date:June 30, 201
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, and some sensuality

Starring:
Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Xavier Samuel, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jodelle Ferland

In the third and latest installment of the "Twilight Saga," "Eclipse" finds our heroine Bella Swan romantically torn between her brooding vampire fiancee Edward Cullen and her hunky werewolf best friend Jacob Black. Meanwhile, an evil threat in the form of fiery vampire Victoria looms ever-closer to Forks. Still reeling from the death of her partner James in the first movie, Victoria is full of vengeance and dead-set on killing Bella with her army of newborn vamps.
Three Good Reasons

* David Slade, the director behind "30 Days of Night" and "Hard Candy," helms "Eclipse." Since every movie in the series has been handled by a different director, it would be interesting to see the third film through a different lens -- and Slade's tends to be dark, violent, and full of action.
* Bryce Dallas Howard of "The Village," "Lady in the Water," "Spider-Man 3," and more recently "Terminator Salvation" steps into the role of the renegade Victoria replacing Rachelle Lefevre (who played the character in the two previous movies). Audiences will get to see Howard bring a different dimension to the character.
* Fans of the novels will be thrilled to see the "tent scene" come to life on the big screen. Arguably one of the best parts of the entire saga combined, it shows Bella, Jacob, and Edward crammed into a tiny tent together. Imagine the tension!
