Wknd Box Office: Noah, Sabotage, Breathe In
It’s another Netflix weekend, since the new movies at theaters leave little to be desired.
* “Noah“: Check out my complete review column on this movie that is decidedly NOT “Noah,” and perverts and abominates the original Biblical story into some left-wing soap opera and science fiction and action film.
FOUR MARXES PLUS
* “Sabotage“: 66-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger is still trying to mount a comeback as an action hero. And he should just hang it up. So desperate to be a big star again, he’s taken to headlining torture porn and snuff films, which is all this movie is.
This extremely bloody, disgusting, pointless, messed-up waste of time is yet another piece of Hollywood garbage. The plot and story are preposterous. The movie features, from the very beginning, a topless lesbian sex scene, another sex scene, a few close up shots of piles of human feces surrounding a toilet, and lots of dismembered, bloody bodies. Plus there’s a body in a river of blood that flows out of a refrigerator. There are various shots of up close murders, including shootings to the head, as well as beheadings with a rudimentary knife. There is enough violence and murder to populate several snuff films.
The story isn’t believable either. Schwarzenegger heads an elite undercover team of DEA Agents. That’s interesting because he looks every day of his 66-plus years, and, in real life, DEA agents have a mandatory retirement age of 57 (56 if they were born after 1970). The DEA agents are corrupt and raid a mansion of drug dealers in order to steal ten million dollars, which the agents hide in a sewer. But when they come back for the money, it’s gone. The DEA agents are under investigation for the theft, and soon, the members of the corrupt DEA team are picked off one by one in disgusting, violent, bloody ways. Schwarzenegger and some crazy crack addicted woman agent are among those DEA agents left. The whodunnit is preposterous, as is the entire movie and its plot.
Skip this at all cost. (Plus why would you want to support a guy who pardons murderers and mocks the victims and their families? Why would you want to spend your money on a fan of late Nazi mass-murderer Kurt Waldheim? Schwarzenegger was his good friend and invited Waldheim to his wedding to Maria Shriver. Waldheim, who was on the Wehrmacht “honor list,” couldn’t come because he was on the no-fly list as he’d been identified as a major Nazi murderer. But Schwarzie lamented that he couldn’t come and praised him at the wedding, saying “I love him.”)
FOUR MARXES PLUS
Watch the trailer . . .
* “Breathe In“: I feel I’ve seen this slow, boring, pointless, predictable movie a million times before. Fed up, bored, annoyed husband has affair with young chick and tears family apart. You’ve seen it, too. In this case, a long-married, middle-aged suburban New York couple, which includes Australian actor Guy Pearce (a good actor whom I usually like in movies), welcomes an English foreign exchange student (Felicity Jones) to their home. The couple have a daughter her age. Soon, the husband, who hates being a music teacher, wants to move back into New York City, seeks to play in the symphony, and feels like he is being henpecked by his wife, has an affair with the exchange student, and everyone finds out and is miserable. The end.
And you would pay to watch this why . . .?

“Sabotage” and Terminate the DEA’s reputation seems more like it to me.
More steroid driven garbage for the kind of person that would probably try to inject steroids into their cranium if that was possible.
Arnie used to at least have good judgement as far as his movie role selections went.
Looks like that’s gone up in cigar smoke now too.
Didn’t know about his connection to Waldheim but it doesn’t really surprise me somehow.
Lousy governor and husband too by the sounds of things.
You can’t really go back to your celluloid glory days after making a play like that.
Hasta la vista baby.
