Conan the Barbarian (1982)

Its a great movie

[9/10 · 5 September 2006]

A fantastic movie considering that it has no real special effects ala Dragonslayer. Arnold does a great job as our favourite hulking cimmerian.

It has a great score that is reminiscent of John William's rousing pieces from Star Wars and Superman, Great villains in Thulsa Doom and his two looming side-kicks and gorgeous women in Cassandra Gava as the exotic witch and Sandahl Bergman as Valeria. John Milus does a cracking job of directing this movie squeezing in huge amount about Conan's life. The film is fast paced an never boring.

Just a few corrections - thulsa doom is a Kull villain and its Crom not Krom.

Warlords of the Deep (1978)

Great movie

[28 August 2006]

I think this is a great movie, well paced, good special effects considering the budget restraints and a novel idea, of an alien race seeking to build a dictatorship state with which to enslave the world. Another charming aspect I liked about the film is that it doesn't take itself to seriously and I love the scene of the monsters attacking the city. Great puppetry! Also as its good to see Peter Gilmore in a different role other than James Onedin side be side with Trampas Doug Mclure. Strange bed fellows indeed. Never realised that it was Kevin Connor - he directed land that time forgot, that directed this movie until much later. Probably explains why I liked Warlords in the first place.
