History Channel - Vikings

Den 3:e mars börjar History Channel sända serien Vikings.
 
 
"History Channel has announced their cast for the scripted series, Vikings. Hoping to bank on the success of HBO’s Game of Thrones, writer Michael Hirst (The Tudors) created the series based on real life figures of Scandanavian history.
The story follows the family saga and rise to power of Ragnar Lothbrok, a great hero who pushed the limits of exploration and rose to become King of the Viking tribes. Gabriel Byrne and George Blagden are joined by Travis Fimmel, Jessalyn Gilsig, Gustaf Skarsgård, Clive Standen and Katheryn Winnick.
 
Vikings will be a series high on adventure, exploration, conflict, warfare and bloodshed – for these were extreme times – but, at its heart, it will also be a family saga.
It follows the adventures of Ragnar Lothbrok, a historical figure, and the greatest hero of his age – and the gripping sagas of Ragnar’s band of Viking brothers and his family – as he rises to become King of the Viking tribes.
 
Ragnar Lothbrok (Fimmel) is based upon the real-life Viking leader who literally exploded out of Scandanavia and onto the world stage in the 8th Century.
A young Norwegian farmer with a wife and family, Ragnar is deeply frustrated by the unadventurous policies of his local chieftan, Earl Haraldson (Byrne), who continues to send his Vikings raiders east every summer, to the Baltic states and Russia, whose populations are as materially poor as themselves.
Lagertha (Winnick) is the first wife of Ragnar’s and their marriage is a love-match. Ragnar was first attracted to Lagertha when she came to fight for a local Norwegian ruler against an invading Sweden.
Floki (Skarsgård), based partly on the Norse god Loki, is an impish character and ship builder who designs and builds the prototype of the new generation of Viking ships which can sail across the open ocean but also up the shallowest of rivers. He is a design genius and he allows Ragnar to fulfill his dreams of sailing west and discovering new lands and new civilizations.
Siggy (Gilsig) is Earl Haraldson’s beautiful wife and an enigmatic character. She performs her duties impeccably and with style, but she may not be completely loyal to her husband.
Rollo (Standen) is Ragnar’s cousin and initially one of his closest friends, involved in his early raids. But soon becomes jealous of his fame and success."
 
 
Detta ska bli spännande. Antingen så kommer det vara totalt misslyckat eller så kommer det vara fenomenalt bra. Jag hoppas på det sistnämnda ^^

BBC Vikings

 
BBC har visat en serie i tre delar som handlar om Vikingar. Har äntligen fått tag i dessa och ska nu se dem. Spännande ^^
 

Episode one

Oliver goes to Scandinavia to discover the mysterious world of the Vikings' prehistoric ancestors. The remains of weapon-filled war boats, long-haired Bronze Age farmers, and a Swedish site of a royal palace and gruesome pagan rituals from which the Viking Age was to suddenly erupt.

Episode two

Oliver heads out from the Scandinavian homelands east with Viking explorers to Russia and Turkey to trace the beginnings of a vast trading empire using rivers of eastern europe as far as Istanbul and Bagdad that brought back Chinese silks and Buddhist statues. Within the Hagia Sophia, Istanbul, Viking runes were scratched into the marble. In the west raids on Britain and Ireland commenced exploiting the wealth of anglo saxon England.

Episode three

Oliver heads west tracing the Norse voyages of discovery to Iceland and Greenland. The first Danish kings and the Christian conversions, earlier than first thought, that opened the door to European high society. The blackmailing of English kings by way of the Danegeld which culminated in a Viking conquest of England and the rise of Danish King Canute, who eventually lost control of the Viking empire, ruled England for twenty years and was intered in Winchester cathedral.

Halloween Movies

Ledig denna veckan, så en hel del film har det blivit. En "vanlig" senast sedda filmer-lista kommer inom kort, men först en lista på de filmer jag sett som passar till Halloween.
 


Netflix

 
Jag har blivit med Netflix! Första månaden är gratis (sedan 79:-/mån), så tänkte att det var värt att testa. Filmerna är rätt gamla, de har inte de senaste direkt, men jag gillar't ändå :)

Opie



Jag har börjat titta på Sons of Anarchy igen (tappade ju bort mig i säsong 3). Jax i all ära, men ah, Opie är så jäkla fin. Ge mig honom i julklapp, ok? ^^

Harry Potter

Har den senaste veckan kollat igenom alla Harry Potter-filmerna (igen), så har inga nya och roliga filmtips att erbjuda (det är dock på ingång!).
 
Däremot kan jag tipsa alla givmilda människor med tjocka plånböcker att denna fina "lilla" box gärna får ligga under min gran vid Jul ;)
 
 



Face Off Season 3

 
Säsong tre av denna fantastiska serie har dragit igång igen och snart kommer fler serier rulla igång. Längtar till säsong två av American Horror Story! Ah, hösten is the shit :D

2012: Filmens År

Jag vågar faktiskt säga att 2012 är det bästa filmåret på länge! Aldrig tidigare har jag velat se så många filmer på bio och det verkar hålla i sig året ut.
 
Många bra har redan kommit och här är några av de filmer som jag ivrigt väntar på ^^
 
 
Hoppas verkligen att de kommer vara värd väntan ^^

Ice Age 4: Continental Drift

 
Ikväll blir det 3D-bio! :D

Movie Madness


 
 
En hel del filmer har jag faktiskt hunnit med att se det senaste. Vissa riktigt bra, andra mindre bra :P

The Grey måste ni alla se! Jäkligt annorlunda och snyggt och smart gjord. Jag satt som fastnålad framför datorn när jag såg den.
Kan rekommendera er att se Prometheus i 3D på bio också, för även om manuset kändes lite fattigt och att den gav mer nya frågor än svar så var den riktigt snygg med bra effekter.
