AGE OF UPRISING
MADS MIKKELSEN GOES EPIC
Speaking of epic, another one of those historical action movies is currently showing in US cinemas. AGE OF UPRISING: THE LEGEND OF MICHAEL KOHLHAAS is adaptation of Heinrich von Kleist's 16th century novella which is considered one of the first examples of modern literature. Mads Mikkelsen plays the lead role of the 16th century horse dealer by the name of Michael Kohlhaas who leads a happy and prosperous family life. When a lord treats him unjustly, this pious, upstanding man raises an army and puts the country to fire and sword in order to have his rights restored.
Hercules Another fantastic trailer , i love it , impatient to see this movie !
ReplyDeleteit is such a great trailer, isn't it? It will be a visual feast with all those mythological beasts
DeleteMichael fights for his rights all right! Don't mess with the horse dealer. I will be ready to see Hercules in August, definitely worthy of the wait Dwayne. How will this Returned do against ABC's version? We have to wait and see.
ReplyDeleteYep, never touch anybody else's horse :)

ReplyDeleteFunny how almost all tales about the Greek hero Heracles use his roman name.
Deleteyep, that happens even here in my language where most people will say HERKUL instead of HERAKLE
DeleteI wonder why Adam removed his first comment. What do you think he wrote, Dezzmeister?
Deleteit happened to him second or third time this week, Blue.... I bet he is a US spy trying to infiltrate his drones here..... My penguins are keeping an eye on him.....
DeleteYou might be on to something. Which is not to say you might be on something. ;)
Deletewell, I might be... I do take four pills a day.... :)
DeleteI'll have to come back and watch it. What I'm on now, has no sound.
ReplyDeletewell, there is that lil' button which turns on the sounds on your speakers..... :)
DeleteThe return of the dead has the hair on the back of neck bristling. Guess I'll have to watch it.
ReplyDeletehope no ghosts visit us....
DeleteGood ones coming.... Thanks for sharing, Dez.
ReplyDeletebe welcome, Sandra
DeleteGreat to see Dwayne Johnson's still getting work--he seems to be the perfect person for that role!
ReplyDeletehe's getting more work than ever.....
DeleteI do love Dwayne Johnson as Hercules! He is going to be great in that role!
ReplyDeleteThe Returned may be good, if they don't make it too cheesy. I'll try a few episodes of that one to see how well I like it.
Should be a really memorable movie, although I did also like Kellan Lutz's HERCULES earlier this winter
DeleteShe loves muscles. See, now ir's official. ;)
DeleteMuscles as in seafood?
DeleteI wouldn't know. I'm a veggie.
DeleteI've never ate seafood either... and I've only been to the sea once..... thirty years ago :)
DeleteThe Returned sounds a little like Resurrection.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for the Dwayne treat. (Love those arms).
he does have herculean arms and muscles
DeleteBoth Hercules and Age of Uprising look good.
ReplyDeleteagreed, Simon
DeleteWow. Duane with hair. That takes a little getting used to, but I think I like it. lol
ReplyDeleteDidn't have the time to have a haircut while slaying all them mythological beasts.... and romancing ancient wenches :)
DeleteHERCULES is looking great.
ReplyDeleteit will be our fave epic movie this summer!
DeleteDezz, I have a problem. What do you mean you know? I went to David's blog but it seems to me you need to be a wizard to be able post a comment in his cave. Now I know whose getting old...
Deletehe uses Disqus format which means that sometimes you cannot comment if blogger is being moody .....
DeleteHARRRRRRRR
DeleteI don't know why people use it.... it's not good..... not that Blogger's commenting format is much better
DeleteWoohoo! Hercules is going to be fun to watch. :)
ReplyDeleteyep, Dwayne hugging a lion... what else could we want?
DeleteThe Age of Uprising and Hercules both should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteAgreed
DeleteIf Hercules is with Joseph Fiennes, I'm in ;-)
ReplyDeletewe do love him
