When the young republic of The Netherlands is attacked by the
aggressive Kingdom of England, France and Germany and the country itself
is on the brink of civil war, only one man can lead the county's

major victories against them and was very much loved by his sailors and
soldiers! Charles Dance, Rutger Hauer are in the cast! The movie will
have worldwide distribution as well, including UK, Germany and USA.

The second trailer for you today is for French movie GEMMA BOVERY which opens up in selected US cinemas May 29th. When British beauty Gemma Bovery (Gemma Arterton) and her furniture
restorer husband move to a charming old farmhouse in the same Norman village where Flaubert’s literary classic “Madame Bovary” was written a century earlier, a local baker and Flaubert expert becomes entranced with Gemma and sets out to be her guide and mentor to her new surroundings.

ReplyDeleteglad to hear it, Phil!
DeleteRutger Hauer improves everything he's in. :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he is Dutch?
DeleteI loves me some Gemma, everything...
ReplyDeleteI just knew it!
DeleteRutger Hauer--that's a name I haven't even thought about in years!
ReplyDeleteLOL he usually plays in European movies or some really bad ones :)
DeleteOh, I think I will like Gemma. A tub of popcorn, a few libations snuck into the theatre and I will have me a good mental health day.
ReplyDeletenow, that sounds like a plan!
DeleteGemma looks pretty good! Of course, another I'll have to save for my alone time movie watching as it looks like one that only I'd like in my house.
ReplyDeleteit seems so :)
DeleteSay it ain't so!
Deletehey, Blue, you didn't say anything about the movie being Dutch!
DeleteI don't care about the Dutch. They make me feel like a foreigner haha
Deletearen't we foreigners everywhere in this universe?
DeleteI enjoy French movies and read Madame Bovary ages ago. I'd love to see Gemma Bovary.
ReplyDeleteglad to hear it!
DeleteLove the look of The Admiral. I'm a sucker for books and films from that time period. Now I want to run and check Wiki to see what happens. lol
ReplyDeletenot everybody liked them. Apparently during the premiere of the film in Holland, there were some protesters who said that he transported slaves to Holland from Africa and should not be celebrated.
DeleteHow is you doing dahlink? Renovation of the interior of the house is still ongoing. We are hoping it will be done by May 2nd. Then I'll be out in the gardens. I won't be back to blogging until July at the soonest. May do an update post next month though.
ReplyDeletedidn't even know you were renovating! Good luck with that!
DeleteYa, the whole first floor is being completely redone. I began gutting the interior in February and have had crews in rebuilding since.
DeleteWe do love building fortresses!
DeleteLooking forward to the Admiral!
