Ah-nold returns to big screen

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is returning to the big screen, but not in a way that will embarrass California.

The Associated Press reports he will play the governor in Sylvester Stallone's movie, "The Expendables," that will start shooting March 28 in Brazil and move to New Orleans for two months. The former Terminator will film his scene in Los Angeles.

Stallone writes, directs and stars in the movie, a film about a group of mercenaries trying to overthrow a South American dictator. It also stars Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Mickey Rourke and Forest Whitaker.

I see an AARP award for grown-ups who love action written all over this one. And wouldn't you like to hear the stories these guys swap over the snack table.
