There is something about these balmy evenings one of the few benefits of the August heat that makes the idea of seeing a movie outside unexpectedly appealing. <\/p>\n
So pack a picnic, bring the beverage of your choice and head to Cinespia's Saturday night screening of\"The Terminator\"under the stars at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. <\/p>\n
The slick, James Cameron 1984 original starts at 8:30 p.m., but it's a kick to come early and wander the grounds looking for headstones of the likes of Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks and John Huston. <\/p>\n
Then settle in to watch Arnold Schwarzenegger's cyborg, impossibly cool in those shades. He had the brains, he had the killing brawn, he was just waiting for a sequel for single mother Sarah Connor to jump-start his Tin Man heart. <\/p>\n
Of course, Linda Hamilton's Sarah didn't need much saving by that point. And somehow, she even made the tough biker chick look jeans, boots and a tight white T-shirt chic. <\/p>\n
Often, big action flicks barely hold up for the duration of their summer run. But thanks to Cameron's filmmaking acumen, spectacular effects, full-tilt action and a solid story, \"The Terminator,\" like its star, seems to be indestructible. <\/p>\n
