Ahh, Arnie films. Guns, explosions, rank awful oneliners, more guns, death, more explosions, more death, more rank awful oneliners. Time was you knew what to expect from a movie just from the stars. An Arnie film generally meant checking your brain at the door and watching the chaos unfold among a rising pile of corpses. Of course, all that went out the window once all this comedy stuff started coming, and then everything went all post-modern and un-Arnie-like. We grew confused, for we are simple souls.

But hark! what light through yonder cinema breaks! Why it's Terminator 3 : Rise Of The Machines!

Yes, our bemuscled Teutonic friend steps back into his most iconic role for another slice of big-budget explosion filled time-travel cyborg hokum, and here at theOneliner we've got over our initial dread of the possibility of utterly ruining a favourite franchise of ours and we're awffy, awffy excited about it.

The film opens on Britain's fair shores on August the 1st after a short period stuck in a mid-Atlantic holding pattern, and of course we'll be first in the queue for tickets. What better way to get into the mood for a spot of Arnie action than by celebrating the career of the man with the surname so long it ensures he's the biggest name on any billboard?

Over the week leading up to the climactic review of his newest opus, the entire Oneliner staff will be pulling a heroic double duty in maintaining our usual reviews of as many new films as we can stomach as well as reviewing damn near every Schwarzenegger film we can lay our grubby little hands on. From his inauspicious Hercules In New York debut to the halcyon Predator days to the Collateral Damage caused by his last outing, we've pretty much got Arnie covered like a jimmy hat.

Here's the schedule for our reviews, and we'll keep this page updated with the links the moment they're added, around 18:00 U.K. time.
