When science fiction legend Arnold Schwarzenegger leaves office as California governor in 2011, he doesn't plan to return to acting. Instead, he wants to help lead the way on climate change. That's a darn shame, because we need Arnie's Heston-on-steroids style of acting more than we need his thoughts on global warming. And to prove it, here are 10 movie moments where Arnie brought his acting A-game in the face of almost insurmountable challenges. More »

When I was a kid, Arnold Schwarzenegger was the face of science fiction, and he always freaked me out. His body was so overstuffed and sausagey, his eyes so piggy. And he seemed like the embodiment of the Reaganite swagger, even before George Bush Sr. started trying to talk like him. And yet, he starred in more big science fiction films than any other actor back then. And recently, I've been appreciating his legacy and his over-the-top performances.

There's a lot wrong with Arnold Schwarzenegger clone actioner The 6th Day, but this scene is just so right. Early in the film, Arnie visits a store at his local mall called RePet, where they will clone your pet and implant the memories of your old pet "in just two hours." Christian anti-cloners are protesting outside the store. When they tell Arnie that "God doesn't want you to go in there," he responds, "Well God shouldn't have killed my dog then." Zing! Then the slick clone salesman gives him the best pitch ever. Everything goes downhill once Arnie himself is cloned, but luckily this scene is in the happy place before all the egregious pseudo-science goes down. [The 6th Day via IMDB] More »
