Film 295/365, Day 323/365 – Red Sonja

Fantasy action, adventure and swords.  It’s by no means the best fantasy film out there but it is still entertaining plus I do enjoy a film with a strong heroine.  There is lots of elaborate scenery and fantastic costumes.  Good old fashioned fun.

Synopsis:  An evil queen steals a magical talisman so that she can conquer the world.  The queen kills the talisman’s keepers and then goes about using her new weapon.  Red Sonja, with the help of an eclectic group of allies, seeks to stop the queen and return the talisman to the darkness.

Film 241/365, Day 254/365 – Conan the Barbarian

I have lots of fond memories of Conan growing up and the film is still as enjoyable today as it was back then.  However as a story there are a lot of things that don’t really add up, like what the hell were they milling, what happened when Conan, the last child chained to the mill, was bought and lastly how did Conan manage to set a stone temple on fire???

Synopsis:  Conan was made a slave and his people were murdered by an evil warlord when he was a child.  Now he is all grown up and looking for revenge.  Will he be able to find the warlord and finally avenge his people or will the warlord finish of what he started?
