conan the barbarian

This weekend marks the 14th annual Barbarian Festival in Cross Plains. This is a fun time for the whole family with lots of antique cars, tractor show, kids booths, crafts and more. Why is it called the Barbarian Festival? Simple, the creator of Conan the Barbarian was from Cross Plains and this is a time to celebrate author Robert E. Howard.

The weekend is rolling up on us and as this heat wave continues, most of you, including myself, look to things to do inside.  I mean, screw being out in the heat if you can help it, right?  One of those things, of course, is checking out a flick at the movie theater.  So, let's take a closer look at some of the movies coming out this weekend.

Holy Moly, I think I just had a geekgasm!  This clip from the new Conan is fantastic.  Read more after the break.

There are some great movies about to come out. You have "Thor", "Captain America", "The Green Lantern", and "X-Men: First Class" to mention a few. Now, check out "Conan The Barbarian".
