Alright it is not bad for an out of the box late night talk show, but it is not that good either.
The problem is the lack of guests on this show. Not that Rove has no guests, it's more like he has no good guests. Being new and being in Australia Rove must stay alive by picking off the scraps, linking up with satellite to conduct interviews with anybody remotely famous. The guests he does manage to recruit off the street are unheard of, yet Rove manages to make you feel stupid for not having heard of them before.
The skits while amusing at first have quickly become boring and dry and although its in its third year it has yet managed to produce high quality entertainment. Yet for some inexplicable reason I continue to watch this show, probably more out of a lack of alternatives than for any other reason. You see down here in Australia we don't have actors, we just have people who like to think they can act, and therefore we have little need for a show like Rove.
Nevertheless, his titilising yet rare comic mischief is spontaneously refreshing and what the show lacks in depth it makes up in denial. Indeed some segments can, on a good night, be funny. Many viewers tune in simply to watch the so-called 'What-the' segment and switch the tele right off quick-smart. Quite to my displeasment the What-the's have lacked in clarity and humility over the past weeks.
The guests and interview portion of the show does, however, need considerable attention and contemplation. I have often found myself actually feeling embarassed for Rove because his guests are so mundane and he is either unwilling or unable to use them effectively in his show.
Alas Rove Live is an endearing program which appeals to the humoiderous sarmentum of the viewer's heart and attempts desperately to achieve audience oblection.
To have a Roving time? I think not. 5.5/10

It is true that Arnold barely speaks in this movie. It would be an interesting activity to go through it again and actually count the number of words he says. This movie is not exactly fantastic. It can be slow and tiresome at times. Its redeeming quality is the soundtrack which plays very well and fits the scenes. The sets are not so bad either. There is a nice mixture between the sandy deserts and snowy mountains, indeed the entire movie was filmed on location in Spain. My favourite scene is when Arnie is practicing with the sword on a hill with the wind blowing his hair and the awesome accompanying tune.
If you are the average Joe Blow you will not enjoy Conan, but if you are a true Arnie fan at heart you might enjoy this. You should appreciate that this is not one of his conventional action films. It is a fantasy type production. I only counted one smart-arse pre-killing comment - when he takes one of the cult leaders behind a mound and letting off a trade mark quote before breaking his arm off.
A previous review mentioned the blood and guts. Yes, there are quite a bit of blood scenes but it is not horrific or anything. The fight scenes are fairly well choreographed. You also get to see at least three naked chicks if that entices anybody as well as Arnie going for it hard rooting a witch.
An okay movie but it could have been better. 6/10
