You know, Conan doesn't speak for the first 22 minutes of the movie, but it's worth the wait. "Crush enemies, see them driven before you, hear the lamentations of the women" is Conan's description of what is best in life.

If you're a dialog person, this movie may not be for you. If you never paid attention to the dialog, you might do so now. Sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll! (except, without the rock'n'roll. The soundtrack is pretty awesome, though).

What can I say? It's a classic. Intense blood and gore, Eighties-esquire special effects, intense sensuality with were-vixens, magic, revenge, true love...sounds like the Princess Bride with an R rating. Just kidding.

I'm just kidding. This movie is actually really sweet (and I don't say that about movies). It's a really feel good movie, and gives you a vague sort of hope that the kind of connection displayed between Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves (who shows a not often revealed talent for romance movies) can exist elsewhere in the world.

It's a great rainy day sort of movie, or if you've just endured a break up, or if you've ever endured a break up, or if you are a fan of 'chick flicks'. Personally, I'm not, but I liked this movie anyway. It made me feel like my inside were filled with apple pie. You know? Of course you do.

You know, there are some movies that just totally blow you away, like The Shawshank Redemption or The Mission. But this one's different because IT'S TRUE. When the movie was over I turned to my brother and said, "Why didn't I take the blue pill?", as though I had just been shown the real world in The Matrix. And boy, they're not kidding when they say that 'ignorance is bliss'.

However, this is exactly why you SHOULD see this movie. It's time for Americans to hear the wake-up call Gore has been shouting for years. It's time for Americans to stop buying Hummers and SUVs, and realize that we're down a path which is becoming exponentially worse. Mankind, at this time, is like Scrooge from A Christmas Carol, being told by Marley what chains we shall bear in time.

The most disturbing part of this whole equation is that An Inconvenient Truth was given a PG rating for 'mild thematic elements'. By 'mild thematic elements', do they mean 'the truth'? God forbid that someone should actually make a movie that tells 'the truth'! See this movie. If you value this planet, if you value your future, if you value your children's future, see this movie and join the wave of change that can save us.
