News headlines don't get any more on the nose than that. But really, that's what this story is all about. It's a story about a poster for the upcoming fantasy epic Solomon Kane. No more, no less. I say upcoming loosely as Shawn and I reviewed Solomon Kane back on our September Special in 2010 and film sites have been writing about the adaptation of Robert E. Howard's character since the flick was announced back in 2007. Directed by Michael J. Bassett and starring James Purefoy, Solomon Kane has screened internationally for years and played at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2009, but never received a theatrical release Stateside. Word has it that Solomon Kane will hit VOD on Friday and receive a limited theatrical release on Sept. 28 via Radius, a new division of The Weinstein Company. And thank freaking Christ as this movie needs to be seen! It's great B-grade swashbuckling entertainment. But enough chatter. Here's the poster! And hey, le...

A far better film than it has any right to be, Marcus Nispel's retelling of Robert E. Howard's tale doesn't even try to outdo the 1982 version starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Instead, it holds true to the Howard material while telling its own story in brutally violent fashion. In fact, it's the non-stop violence and bloodshed that keeps this movie afloat. There's copious amounts of blood, beasts and boobies to satisfy exploitation fans. In no way does Jason Momoa's Conan replace Schwarzenegger's interpretation, but he still does a fine job in bringing the barbarian to life. And who doesn't want to look at Rachel Nichols for about two hours? Whenever I'm in the mood for rampant carnage, I'll throw this take on Conan in the player. A Good from me.

Any fears of a watered down Conan The Barbarian hitting theatres in August have been dashed thanks to this red band trailer, which offers gallons of blood and violence and a hint of sex and boobies. Does this mean the latest version of Robert E. Howard's barbarian will be any good? I seriously have my doubts. But at least my bloodlust will be satiated. Jason Momoa is certainly giving the role his all, but he has a long way to go to best Ah-nold. We'll know more when Conan hits theatres Aug.19. Until then, watch the blood spill!
