The Terminator (1984) is so ubiquitous that it’s almost forgotten for its more successful sequel. Yet, the film is oozing with style, charm, humor, and a dark sense of dread that it should be remembered more fondly than just “the first one”. James Cameron’s (almost) directorial debut stars Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor, a struggling waitress suddenly thrust into a battle for the future of humanity. Hunting her down is The Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger, a cyborg sent from the future mechanically exterminating every person named Sarah Connor in the phone book. The chase is a pure thrill-ride through and through. If you haven’t seen The Terminator in a while since you liked the sequel better, give it a rewatch.   Cinema Spectator is a movie podcast hosted by Isaac Ransom, Juzo Greenwood, and Cameron Tuttle.

Caring crusaders are almost their own movie genre and one of the most successful films about such is Erin Brockovich. Steven Soderbergh had a huge year in 2000 with Traffic and also this biopic, turning both into blockbuster Oscar-winners. He won the award for directing Traffic while Julia Roberts won her own gold trophy for playing the brash, real-life, legal assistant who works day and night to expose an environmental cover-up that killed children in a small California town. Albert Finney, Aaron Eckhart and Marg Helgenberger shine too, but this movie belong to Julia…and it might be her signature performance. So, Stick Man, be like Erin and be an empath in provocative clothes as we file a class action lawsuit against those who poison water, but as we also review Erin Brockovich in this 673rd edition of Have You Ever Seen.
