    I never had any interest in the Terminator until I saw Daenerys Targeryan as Sarah Connor in the latest Terminator: Genisys. To add to the recipe, Arnold Schwarzenegger being funny is something to look forward to. The trailer is very inviting with a preview of the twisted plot, you will want to add the movie to your weekend to-do-list. The Terminator: Genisys takes us back to 1984 where the T-1000 from Skynet is sent to kill Sarah Connor. John Connor sent his right hand man, Kyle Reese, back in time

    summer, I had the highest hopes for Terminator Genisys. I liked the first film in this franchise, and I love the second (the third was okay and I am not going to even talk about the fourth). With Arnold returning as the T-800, I had hopes that this sequel could at least get the series back on track by perhaps equaling the quality of Terminator: Rise of the Machines.

    I think Arnold Schwarzenegger in the original popular movie Terminator provides a great example of an extremely descriptive movie actor with many descriptive traits.

However, as female heroines become the focus of these narratives, their traditional feminine traits, such as emotional expressivity, tenderness, and passiveness, are replaced
