Jason Statham - Ray Liotta - Burt Reynolds - Ron Perlman.

What would you say if you saw that list of actors on a movie poster? Sounds like it should be good right? Well a couple of weeks ago there was this little movie called "In the name of the king: a Dungeon Siege story" that included all of those actors and a few more that you may have heard of. So why is it that on rottentomatoes.com that movie only has a 2%? Out of 100.

The quick answer is that movie was directed by Uwe Bol. The director of such greats like Bloodrayne, Alone in the dark, and House of dead…Yea he has been stinking up the place with his horrific movies. So how did he get those actors on board to create another potential crapfest? Maybe it was the $70 million budget.

Anyway, I saw that movie, and yes it was bad, but I don’t think it is as bad as people are saying. Even though I thought the movie was bad, I actually enjoyed it. It reminded me of those kung fu movies of the early 90s where everyone was flying around the screen with all sorts of wire tricks and special effects. The actors weren’t bad. The story, however was. Put that aside and the movie had what I liked, a lot of fight scenes and action. Enough to where it deserves more than the 2% that rottentomatoes.com is yielding. maybe 15%

I actually thinking Uwe Bol’s name attached to this movie doomed it. he would have to make a masterpiece before people would think anything other than utter garbage when viewing a movie he directed.

If you decide to go see this movie, remember, it is a bad movie….but it can be fun if you like action and fighting

I recently watched a movie that I hadn’t seen in a looong time. Conan the Barbarian. That movie will always hold a special place in my heart. Not because of the violence. Not because of all the nude women. And even though the scene where Arnold is having sex with the witch and threw her in the fire is pretty cool, that isn’t the reason either.

Yes you heard me, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California was having sex with a woman, and threw her in the fire.

The reason that movie holds such a solid spot in my heart is because it was the first R rated movie my parents let me see. I was a big comic book guy so I just had to see Conan the Barbarian when it came out. I still remember begging my parents to let me see that movie. After my recent viewing of the movie, I started to ponder the idea of that movie being remade. Many may not think that Conan would be considered a great movie, but it did have potential. The movie had the making of a epic story, plenty of fight scenes and action, and of coarse the women. I think its about time for a remake.

I then watched Conan the Destroyer, the better budgeted but inferior sequel with Wilt chamberlain and the infamous Grace Jones.  That one doesn’t need to be remade.

What kills me about that first Conan movie is that James Earl Jones straight up played a white man in the movie, with the wig and all, like we wouldn’t notice.

Enjoy the trailer.
