Wasn't impressed by the latest Conan film - the bloke just hasn't got the screen presence of Arnie - who the role was almost made for . It was a rehash of the first Arnie film , which in itself was only very loosely base don the Howard books , the sequence of events and even the events...

It all struck me as rather contrived and a non ending really , very much an anti climax . I'd give it 5 out of 10 . Seemed to get Florence , Venice and Istanbul into the plot line for no real imaginative reason PLUS the baddie you never get toknow much about as he's already dead . Average .

Well , as I said in the title , I'm from England , Clacton on Sea to be exact . As my username suggests , I'm into punk music , mainly the 1977- 1984 era , I don't know much about what passes for punk these days . I like most sports , main one being football ( soccer to Americans ) , but...
