This is my first-ever submission to newsnet -- hopefully I can get it right. Has anyone seen the new Conan film or heard anything about it? Looks trashy but may be decent -- like so many other fantasy-type movies. -- Dave Simen, BTL Neptune

"Conan" - a very fiesty entertaining, basic blood and guts and lust formula, built into a Star Wars-type Greek Myth framework. A visual feast, and a treat to one's baser instinct. A must if in a agressive frame of mind. Heinz must have made a lot of money on this one.

I saw Conan this past weekend and came away with a favorable impression. While the film will not be remembered as one of the all time greats, it does do a good job of capturing the spirit of Howard's work. My only complaint is with the script. It tended to drag in the middle. However, the end more than made up for it. When you get right down to it, those who are into sword and sorcery will like the film and those who don't won't. -Dave Allen ihnss!ihuxo!dpa
