Review by: agentorange
Rating: 7 out of 10
This is the kind of movie critics ravage. Like the armies of Khalar Zym marching over the horizon, you can just see them coming in hoards to rape and pillage this movie until there's nothing left on its bones. I don't know why pulpy, loud, sexy, violent, balls-to-the-wall earnest action movies gets their goats but they just do. They are like the weak monks at the Temple, whereas I'm more like Conan: ripped and coming to slice them up with my own monosyllabic opinions.
Here's the deal: No matter where you stand on the new Conan the Barbarian movie, chances are it will generate the same feeling in you. That of being slapped in the face for two straight hours. Because, if you can »
Weinberg Reviews Conan The Barbarian
18 August 2011 11:30 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
The character of Conan was created by Robert E. Howard in the 1920s, but he didn't make it to the silver screen until 1982. It was John Milius' Conan the Barbarian that re-introduced the character into pop culture, and the film inspired countless knock-offs and copycats in the process. Some of them, namely Red Sonja, Kull the Conqueror, and the recent Solomon Kane, were also based on Howard's creations. And while there was a forgettable sequel in 1984 (Conan the Destroyer), this flick-friendly action hero has been kept in hibernation for way too long. It's a good thing that director Marcus Nispel and his screenwriters seem to have their heads on straight where this bloody pulp fiction character is concerned. Their new rendition of Conan »

New on Blu-ray and DVD: Ironclad! Source Code! We Are What We Are!
27 July 2011 8:08 AM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
Sorry this column is coming at you a bit late folks, but buckle up and get ready to empty your bank accounts because it's one of the best release weeks in a long time!
Ironclad - James Purefoy (Solomon Kane) carries this actioner about a ragtag group of Knights Templar who hold out for months against the hard-fought siege of Rochester Castle in the thirteenth Century. Set in the time of King John's signing of the Magna Carta treaty, the group struggles against the King to defend the freedom of their country.
Source Code - For his sophomore film, Moon director Duncan Jones creates a multiple-reality/time traveling twister of a film that is both thematically and viscerally exciting. The film is about a helicopter pilot who is recruited for a top-secret military operation and finds himself on a startlingly different kind of mission that challenges our assumptions about time and space. »
Ironclad: Out today on Blu Ray and DVD
11 July 2011 10:01 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Director Jonathan English has carved out an underrated slice of 13th Century history-what King John did next. A lot of spitting and hysterics, as it happens. A British film of heartening ambition, Ironclad has suffered constant kill-zone budget cuts and cast changes since it’s inception in 2008. Now, it sieges our screens filled with fury, bloodshed and impressive swordplay. While english audiences are still reeling from the sovereign bowing pride of The King’s Speech, Ironclad’s patriotism follows a different path-one that condemns the monarchy’s (then) oppressive regime. A stout Paul Giammati plays cantankerous King John, roaming England on the warpath, just weeks after the Magna Carta. With the Pope in his back pocket and the Danes nipping at his heels-he fights to assert his power by amputating the tongues and such.
To stir up a common rebellion, Baron Albany, a Gandalf-type figure played by Brian Cox rallies »

What to Buy this Week: DVD and Blu-ray releases for July 11th
11 July 2011 4:00 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
It’s another jam-packed week of DVD and Blu-ray releases, here’s the rundown of what’s available to buy from today, July 11th 2011.
Pick Of The Week:
Slaughter High (DVD)
For Marty, School Days were the worst days of his life… When the alumni of an all-American high school make a trip to attend a class reunion, they reconnect with their pasts in ways more bloody and fatal than they could possibly imagine in the 80s slasher classic Slaughter High. On arrival, they discover the school shuttered and in disrepair, as if the reunion were just a ruse to drag them back. Still, the old pupils decide to break in and celebrate anyway. A deadly error considering that Marty, the nerd whose teenage life they made a living hell, is lurking in the dank, dark corridors, waiting to bring fear, torment and slicing, dicing murder to each and every one of them. »

Ironclad (2011) Movie Review
10 July 2011 6:59 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Set in the 13th century and after the signing of the Magna Carta or thereabouts, Johnathan English’s “Ironclad” can best be described as “300″ with broadswords. It stars James Purefoy (“Solomon Kane”) as Marshall, a grizzled, uber badass Knights Templar who is tasked with stopping an all-new reign of terror by smarmy King John (Paul Giamatti). To accomplish this task, Marshall and the Baron Albany (Brian Cox) must take up arms at Rochester Castle and keep it out of King John’s hands, lest the ornery little cuss uses it as the perfect staging area from which to launch his impending subjugation of England. As you might expect, in order to stop the King and his legion of Danish mercenaries, Marshall and Albany must employ the services of only a handful of fighters, including Albany’s idealist squire (Aneurin Barnard). Hey, it wouldn’t be much of a drama if they weren’t outrageously outnumbered, »

Exclusive: James Purefoy Talks Ironclad and John Carter
2 July 2011 9:52 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
James Purefoy is an incredibly versatile actor whose career has spanned film, television and theatre, and who cannot be pinned down in any one type of role. He had six years of leading roles with some of the UK’s most prestigious theatres, starred as Mark Antony in HBO’s epic drama series Rome, has had memorable roles in Resident Evil and A Knight’s Tale, played the title character in Solomon Kane, about a mercenary who owes his soul to the devil and redeems himself by fighting evil, and has done such television series as The Philanthropist for NBC, Camelot for Starz and Injustice for ITV1. Now, he can be seen as a Templar Knight whose soul is wracked with guilt over the atrocities he has committed during the Crusades, in the ultra-violent medieval action-thriller Ironclad. During a recent exclusive phone interview, the complex and unpredictable actor talked about »

James Purefoy: 'Injustice role is subtle'
31 May 2011 3:07 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
James Purefoy has admitted that he was pleased to play a "subtle" role in new ITV1 drama Injustice. The actor told TV Choice that he was becoming frustrated, having played a series of "big" characters. Purefoy explained: "I have not done anything like this for a long time. I played Mark Antony in [HBO drama] Rome, Solomon Kane [in the film of the same name], Blackbeard [in a 2006 TV movie]. "Those are all big, grandstand men [and] this is a much more subtle part (more) »

27 videogames currently being turned into cinema films
30 May 2011 8:18 PM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Even though only one videogame-based movie has ever taken over $100m at the Us box office, there’s no shortage of gaming source material for future movies…
To date, of all the videogame adaptations to date, only the first Tomb Raider film has crossed the magical $100m mark at the Us box office. And yet, the procession of videogame-based movies shows no sign of abating, even without the direct intervention of Uwe Boll, with several projects heading to the big screen. Perhaps the non-us box office take of the Prince Of Persia film last year, which ended up with $335m in the bank, has helped grease a few wheels.
So has the fact, though, that most videogame movies have been quite cheap to make, and come with an in-built audience that all but guarantees $30 to $40m at the box office.
Here, then, we've tried to round up those films with »

24 May 2011 1:02 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Jason Flemyng is a regular collaborator with filmmaker Matthew Vaughn, having appeared in Kick-Ass, Stardust and Layer Cake (which Vaughn directed) and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch and Swept Away (which Vaughn produced, alongside director Guy Ritchie).

Flemyng is no stranger to comic book adaptations. As well as Kick-Ass, he was also in From Hell and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, adapted from the graphic novels of UK comic book legend Alan Moore; and more recently in Solomon Kane, based on Robert E. Howard's pulp fiction character who's also featured in Marvel and Dark Horse titles.
Here he talks about his X-Men role as the teleporting Azazel, a member of the villainous Hellfire Club. There may be Spoilers ahead.
On the director:
He's developed so much with each of his films. »

13 dark fantasy films to watch while you wait for Conan
9 May 2011 7:12 AM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
The fantasy genre has gotten a bad rep over the years and I think I know why. Too many factions of role players, larpers and W.O.W-ers have joined forces over the world wide web to become this massive, unstoppable goliath of an easy target. What was once little groups of in-the-know outcasts playing Magic in highschool hallways is so visible that they've turned it into an easy punchline for bad comedians and films like Role Models or Your Highness to take a stab at. But That's just my theory.
The other downside to fantasy's perceived dorkery is I think it's led to a slowing down of mainstream fantasy film production and the films that do get made that fully embrace their fantasy roots either get savages by critics or dumped onto SyFy. Lord of the Rings is really the only series of films I can think of that got through unscathed. »

Sin City-styled crime thriller Jack Falls wins best action film award
4 May 2011 5:17 PM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Bringing together multiple components of genre filmmaking, the British feature Jack Falls found a recipe for success by winning best action film at the 2011 London Independent Film Festival.
It's the final part of a trilogy, each based on a graphic novel written by director Paul Tanter and illustrated by Oscar Alvarado.
More details, plus reaction from the filmmakers and a trailer for Jack Falls, are included below.
Tanter, who attended the festival, said: "I'm thrilled to accept this award from the Liff. The competition within independent film has never been better, and we are honoured to have not only been included amongst those selected, but to have won the award too."
All three films are shot in a Sin City style - using splashes of colour against high-contrast black and white - with comic book undertones that reflect the trilogy's origins.

95 movie sequels currently in the works
27 April 2011 4:09 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
If you had any doubt that Hollywood was reliant on big movie franchises, let them be eradicated right about now...
As has long been the case, sequels are a reliable way of making plenty of cash from recognisable names. They've been a part of the Hollywood filmmaking process for decades, and as this list of 95 sequels currently in the works proves, will continue to be so for as long as we stump up the cash to go and see them.
We've been doing this list annually for a couple of years now, and this year's collection is, perhaps unsurprising, the longest round-up of upcoming sequels that we've done. Still, given that there are nearly a hundred sequels listed below, we're a little sad to see that Hollywood's people in suits couldn't find room for a belated return to Mac And Me...
Here's what you've got to look forward to...
