the last stand

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1549920

i am really glad that schwarzenegger is making movies again.  i am even more glad that he is making *80s* movies again.  the last stand has holes a-plenty, but who cares.  dirty cop cliche? super fast car? bad guys magically know where all the roadblocks will be?  eh.  i cannot get too upset about these trivialities because we all know that the point of this movie is to be a metaphor for schwarzenegger's career.  i am not too good at the metaphors, but i will take a crack at explaining it.  in this metaphor, schwarzenegger represents...arnold schwarzenegger.  the bad guy represents...um...adversity.  lessee, there was a girl, she must be fate, which makes the reformed deputy guy kratos.  forest whittaker represents poseidon, while the car guy is hades.  i am not sure who zeus is.  this metaphor business is pretty tiring.

the last stand gets three career refreshes.
