The GF and I just finished watching the recent Conan movie on BluRay. Mindless junk, even for an action movie, and not worthy of the franchise. The score was really weak, very much TV quality stuff and not stirring in any way. While watching the fight scene between Conan and the sand dudes it felt as though I was watching an amusement park attraction. The original Schwarzenegger classic is much better. The evil dude's witch daughter was a cool character, though. Would have liked to see her betray her dad and survive the movie. Then we watched Immortals. Really enjoyed this one, liked it much more than I though I would. Fight scenes were great, but not too frequent (unlike the Conan flick) and the fights between the gods and titans was particularly well done and fun to watch. Scenes between the action was well paced and actually keeps your interest. Rourke played a good bad guy, and Dorff has obviously been hitting the gym hard. Very good flick, highly recommended. Then we watched a gem called Winter in Wartime, made in the Netherlands I think. I usually don't like to watch kids playing leading roles in movies but the acting here was brilliant. Can't really talk about it without spoiling anything so I can only recommend it vigorously, which I do.
