Tits, Swords and High Adventure!

There are many great things about Conan The Barbarian. Sadly, it's suit-up scene isn't one of them. What may, at first glance, seem to be a perfectly acceptable scene quickly becomes a disappointment upon further study.

How do you prepare a crowd for a wicked movie?

I posed a very simple question in the title of this review.

The answer is very simple — Be sure to have a wicked suit-up scene during the opening credits.

Plain and simple, this scene gives me goosebumps. It's one of the most beautiful suit-ups ever committed to film. Director Peter Jackson is brilliant in all aspects of his film-making, but it was his strict loyalty and love of the books of J.R.R. Tolkien that made 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy such a treat.

From a person whose read said books over five times already, this scene in 'The Two Towers' holds a special place in my heart. But we'll get to that in a second.

Suiting up to blow your brains out

Rob Reiner's 'A Few Good Men' is one of those films I've seen probably over thirty times. Not because it's a personal favorite. But because it seems to always be playing on TV. That's not such a bad thing. It's a good film with some intense court room scenes. It's also got Tom in full "Cruise Control". (you'll hear more about this in future reviews). But, lo and behold, it also has a suit-up scene.

In the words of our beloved Suit-Up Scene founder and overlord, Kirk Clawes, "Conan The Barbarian" is a tale of tits, swords and high adventure. But a year after it launched Arnold Schwarzenegger onto the cinema landscape, a far superior film would follow in its wake... Don Coscarelli's timeless fantasy, "The Beastmaster"!

Yes, like 'Aliens', 'The Two Towers' also contains two suit-up scenes. But unlike 'Aliens', the two scenes almost bookend each other. Yet they each mean very different things to the characters in them.

With King Theoden's suit-up, we are seeing a man reclaim what he once was. He's suiting up to become king again, after long years of withering away under the spell of the white wizard Saruman and the poisonous words of despair from Grima Wormtongue.

I find myself in a tough predicament with 'Steel Dawn.' A conundrum really. Shit, maybe even a pickle. You see, I have not actually "watched" this film. I had to force myself to even stomach fast-forwarding through the damn thing. But I'm a huge Patrick Swayze fan. Let me repeat that for all you haters:
