See this film: The Terminator @fter midnight at the Coolidge

As technology now invades every aspect of our lives, the paranoid, dystopic scenario posed by James Cameron in The Terminator (1984), arguably the director's best film, appears creepily prescient. In his signature role, Arnold Schwarzenegger plays an unstoppable cyborg from a future dominated by machines sent to the present day to bump off the woman who would one day be the mother of the man who might save the human race. That premise is at least as credible as that Arnold would some day be the governor of California. It screens Friday, January 6 and Saturday, January 7 at midnight at the Coolidge Corner Theatre, 290 Harvard St, Brookline | $9 | 617.734.2501 or coolidge.org.
