ARTEMISIA FROM EPIC
'300 RISE OF AN EMPIRE'
And after the first glorious pictures from epic prequel 300: RISE OF
AN EMPIRE which showed Sullivan Stapleton as Themistokles, here's the
first picture showing Eva Green as evil Artemisia, 
female general of the
Persian army lead by emperor Xerxes (to be played again by brilliant
Rodrigo Santoro). She pits him against the brave Greeks in the film
which opens up this August and will feature tones of naval battles!
DAN STEVENS IN
SUMMER IN FEBRUARY TRAILER
And after really beautiful ROMEO AND JULIET trailer yesterday, here's another gorgeous one: first clip for period set drama SUMMER IN FEBRUARY starring DOWNTON ABBEY's Dan Stevens,
Emily Browning and Dominic Cooper. Stevens and Cooper play a land agent and bohemian artist competing for the affections of Emily Browning's Florence. Set in the period before the World War One, 
the film brings a true tale of love, liberty and scandal amongst the Edwardian artists' colony in Cornwall! The film focuses on the wild and bohemian Lamorna Group, which included Alfred Munnings. 
The incendiary anti-Modernist Munnings, now regarded as one of Britain's most sought-after artists, is at the centre of the complex love triangle, involving aspiring artist Florence Carter-Wood and Gilbert 
Evans, the land agent in charge of the Lamorna Valley estate. True - and deeply moving - the story is played out against the timeless beauty of the Cornish coast, in the approaching shadow of The Great War.

I guess Judd had time for the movie since she's no longer running for congress :(
ReplyDeletetoo bad, she would make a nice congresswoman and then a president.
Deleteooo Sequel to 300 sounds rather tasty lots of good films this year it seems
ReplyDeleteIt's my most anticipated epic :P movie of the year, Simon!
DeleteHey Dezmond. In answer to your question I don't know because I've never eaten a felafel. I had to Google what they were. But I still say, try it. Why not? That's the fun of baking.
ReplyDeleteCheers & Boogie Boogie.
oh, I thought you have falafel in USA, I could swear I often heard people mention it in your shows :) Those are kind of balls or patties made from chickpeas and friend in oil.
DeleteI don't know what others eat but for me, I've never tried one. Heard the name, didn't know what they were.
DeleteThe fairs here do a lot of deep fried things. I don't usually eat that stuff because all I taste is the oil.
Icky.
Though a girl at work was talking about deep fried Oreos. Never had that either. Or any of those fried candy bar creations.
when I make falafel I usually bake it in the oven to avoid oil :) The trouble is that here we don't have canned already cooked chickpea, so I have to soak it and cook it myself :(
DeleteDeep fried Oreos? That sounds horrible! I don't like US obsession with industrial products :( How do you fry a candybar? You bread it first?
I don't know how they fry them, if the bread it first or use a batter. Really don't eat fair foods. Though I like your idea of baking. I do that with my screaming fries. Baking is so fun.
DeleteHey, with dried chickpeas you could ground your own flour. I do that with stuff at home and love it.
and then you use it like a regular flour? The thing is that chickpeas are quite expensive here and a kilo of that flour would cost ten times more than the regular one :)
DeleteI use much more lentils (mostly the orange one) in my cooking.
Frying and breading chocolate bars really sounds horrid - as if they're not caloric bombs by itself...
Why not ground your own chickpeas?
DeleteI have so far, used the garbanzo flour with brown organic pastry flour. Today's bake will be all garbanzo.
You mentioned lentils. That's another ingredient I fix to ground into a meal/flour and bake with. The store had lentil flour but it was cheaper to get the dried lentils and make the flour myself.
I've no idea what garbanzo is, has a funny name :) Like something from the Muppets LOL
DeleteLentils are amazing and very healthy. When I boil them with some garlic and celery leaves and then mash them into a pure with some mayo, I always save the water in which they cook and use it for amazing tomato soup, it gives the soup such richness.
Garbanzo is another word for chickpea.
DeleteYeah, I love the taste of lentils. And I'm excited to make the flour and then use it for a bake.
But yeah, it does sound funny. Which I like.
Deletethere it is, I've learnt a new word today :)
DeleteI love falafel! And Divergent was an interesting book. I read the second one too and am now waiting for book #3.
ReplyDeletethere you go - me is not the only one who knows what a falafel is :)
DeleteHOW gorgeous is Ashley Judd... I mean really. She is still STUNNING!!! I think it's great that mature woman still remain beautiful and are still cast as BEAUTIFUL woman. LOVE that age is only a number....
ReplyDeleteLove period films, so I am definitely looking forward to Artimesia and Summer in February!
she is mega stunning. Wish she would get some Oscars and finally get considered a drama actress. Such a great actress!
Deletethat pic of Ashley Judd is missing something. I'm not sure what... ;)
ReplyDeleteshe took that pic for a breast cancer campaign. I think it's photoshoped a bit hence the pixels are strange on it.
DeleteBBC has some potentially great series coming up this year. I do wish I could have direct access to them all as they came out.
ReplyDeleteHey, darling, missing you a lot, the blogosphere is a bit empty without our shenanigans :)
DeleteI shall have a spotlight on new sf shows this Sunday most probably. I torrent all BBC shows :)
I love Stevens from Downton Abbey and he looks fantastic in this movie. It's on my must see list.
ReplyDeletehe has some very nice warmth in him, I like him too.
DeleteFalafels are a staple around here. We have them at least once a week and they're such a great fast food, especially when my vegetarian friends come by!
ReplyDeleteStevens should be great in this. I like his performance in Downton Abby.
ah, so glad to hear that America knows about the falafel, C.Lee :) If I come by you will order some for me too since I'm also a vegetarian :)
DeleteFalafel is wonderful! :)
ReplyDeleteNot too keen on a teen romance period or not. It looks kind of boring and oh so typical, two men competing for one woman because oh she is wonderful and magical we must have her. BS Real guys move on without a care. Fighting over a woman is fantasy through and through. I doubt any man would fight for a woman with his friend unless he just wanted to be an ass.
Divergent just looks so dumb. I can't believe they are going through all this hype for that piece of crap.
it's true, a real man would never fight for a woman with his friend :)
DeleteI love Ashley Judd. Great actress, great eyes, and my kind of woman, really. How come she's not my neighbor?
ReplyDeletemoving to her city might help, sweet Mandy :)
DeleteMaybe in a different life? :)
ReplyDeletewell, we only have nine of those... which one are you spending right now?
