Back in the 80s, Arnold Schwarzenegger ruled the action movie roost with an iron hand.

My plan for the weekend was a great deal of relaxing and catching up with things, and that’s certainly what I’ve been doing but with some very bad movies. Each Christmas I go through all of my movies, games and computer discs and have a mass clear out of things I no longer need or [...]
