Romance! Jealousy! Temptation! There's an alluring new stranger vying for Sherlock Holmes's attentions and affections in Guy Ritchie's turn-of-the-century sleuthing sequel, A Game of Shadows, but it's not the dark and beautiful gypsy woman at the center of Holmes's latest mystery.

Two big films are duking it out for your hard-earned money this weekend. Besides "Fright Night" and "Spy Kids 4" aka "Smell Me!," we also have "Conan the Barbarian" starring Jason Momoa and "One Day" featuring Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway based on the book by David Nicholls.

Movies have become so technically sophisticated, so hyper-real, that there’s almost no such thing as a cheap pulp entertainment anymore: So many movies set out to wow us, which isn’t the same as giving us pleasure.

I used to love the sword and sorcery genre as a kid. I entered the magical realm by way of the 1982 "Conan the Barbarian" movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

It was a pleasure to finally meet Rose McGowan. I've been a fan of her since she played Amy Blue in 1995's "The Doom Generation," and now, she's the mystical Marique in Lionsgate's "Conan the Barbarian" starring Jason Momoa as the Cimmerian warrior.

Rachel Nichols is happy to be part of Lionsgate's reboot, "Conan the Barbarian." The Columbia University alum (she double-majored in Economics and Math) stars as Tamara, the love interest of Jason Momoa (Conan) in the movie.

Filmmakers Notebook had the pleasure of attending a Q&A the last night of CinemaCon with this summer’s hottest movie superheroes – the new Thor Chris Hemsworth, Rose Huntington-Whiteley from Transformers and Jason Momoa, who will soon be seen playing Conan the Barbarian.
