LB Film Club Submits Short Film to International Film Competition

Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Mackenzie Davis, Gabriel Luna and Natalia Reyes Directed by Tim Miller (Based on Characters created by James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd) RATED R My Rating: 4.5/5 “Terminator: Dark Fate” is the latest film in the “Terminator” franchise, and the sixth film overall. While not the best entry in the series, it is a marked improvement over some of the previous installments and the closest in style and tone to the original 1984 entry and the smash hit 1991 sequel “Terminator 2: Judgment Day.” [ 451 more words ]

Sunlight beams through a large doorway at the end of the building, and a large front-end loader comes into view carrying a pile of recycling that’s about to be sorted. [ 1,675 more word ]
