LAKEPORT, Calif. – The GenX Cinema series presents the 1982 action/adventure/fantasy film, “Conan the Barbarian,” on Wednesday, Aug. 8, at 7 p.m. at the Soper Reese Theatre in Lakeport.
Entry is by donation.
The film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Earl Jones and Max Von Sydow,
Out of the swords and sorcery movie genre, “Conan” was former bodybuilder Schwarzenegger’s first film, in which he played a boy slave who’s grown up strong, angry and seeking vengeance.
This primitive pulp fiction film, from a Robert E. Howard book written in the 1930s, is full of quotable lines and gritty action including plenty of spilled guts, dismembered heads and bodies thrashed by sea monsters.
The film is rated R with run time of two hours and is sponsored by Cani Painting and Stone Fire Pizza.
The Soper Reese Theatre is located at 275 S. Main St., Lakeport, telephone 707-263-0577, www.soperreesetheatre.com.
