Film 332/365, Day 348/365 – Vamp

Classic ‘80s comedy horror.  Grace Jones, whilst not having the sex appeal of Salma Hayek in From Dusk till Dawn as the head stripper/vampire, cannot ever be accused of not committing to the role, she is insanely brilliant or brilliantly insane, either one is fine.  This not the greatest film but is a fine of example of the sort of films that were being pushed in the ‘80s.

Synopsis:  Two college kids are tasked with getting a stripper for a party.  Desperate to impress they head to a strip club to hire a stripper.  Unfortunately for them the club is run by vampires.

Film 103/365, Day 107/365 – Conan the Destroyer

Good fantasy adventure with lots of swords and over the top music segments.  For the most part this is just a glorified montage of Arnie swinging a sword around and showing off his oiled up muscles.  Other than that is still an enjoyable fantasy film.  Good if you like fantasy films.

Synopsis: Conan is enlisted to take a princess on a quest to recover a mystical stone from a wizard which will enable them to steal a magical treasure.  To aid him in his quest he collects together an unusual group consisting of a thief, a wizard and an Amazon.  What he doesn’t is that the magical treasure could bring about the end of the world!
