I'm not even supposed to be here today!

“Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.” 

That brief monologue by Kyle Reese solidified the terror that was the Terminator in the original movie by James Cameron, released on October 26th, 1984.

I went to the Philadelphia Film Festival on Saturday to see Jojo Rabbit, directed by Taika Waititi. I love film festivals. Sure, I’m just going to see a movie, but the whole pomp and circumstance surrounding the movie is always a fun time. It’s why I love going to screenings as well, I enjoy seeing movies before the release, and there’s always an added perk on top of that like free merchandise. Plus, there seems to be a sense of community when going to screenings, like we’re all friends rather than a bunch of strangers seeing a movie together. 

In 1987, Director John McTiernan introduced audiences around the world to one of the most iconic sci-fi monsters in film history. Armed with a cloaking device, plasma cannon and a razor sharp pair of wrist blades, this ferocious intergalactic bounty hunter single-handedly decimated a highly trained Special Forces unit led by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
