It's too bad this isn't in Danish. I don't know why people hate sub-titles so much. Look what happened to Let The Right One In. That's a little bit different because the subtitles got botched, but a film like this should really be in its "original" language.

you're so right, admin. except that we tend to be more accepting of violence. what was it that Jack Nicholson once said?

Kiss a tit, and it's rated X. Hack it of with a sword and it gets a PG.

but i do love the use of The Nutcracker Suite in the second clip. i now have visions of sexy, naked snow fairies dancing in my head. except that the fairies are also covered in blood and are trying to hack each other to bits with broadswords.

They totally used a riff from the Terminator movies. How badass is that?

All you really had to say was Viking and Brutal and I knew I was going to see it.

So did she mute her mute-argument @BWeaves?

Mads Mikkelsen (now that’s a name), plays a mute one-eyed warrior with supernatural strength

And all they could muster for a character named was the appropriate but dull "One-Eye".

She wouldn't believe me that the word was "moot" until I waved a dictionary in front of her face.

"The argument is 'moo'. It's like a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter. It's moo."

In related news, I've watched entirely too much syndicated television.

Actually, she refused to believe she was wrong.

Gotcha figgy! America wins again!

I. am. on. board. vikings, ahoy!

The title of this post made me snort with laughter. Man, do I loves me some Ralph Wiggum.

Off to join Ralph in a Norse dreamland.

Mads is a sex symbol in Denmark, Mimi. My Danish friend loaned me some Mads Mikkelson movies a few years ago, he's very good. I particularly liked his Dogme film called Open Hearts (Danish: Elsker dig for evigt), (2002). The Wikipedia entry says Zach Braff is going to do a remake of it, which will undoubtedly suck in comparison.

If you aren't familiar with Dogme films, check out the link, it explains it better than I can.

Basically, they are low budget movies that rely on strong story lines instead of special effects and big names. I'm sure plenty of you Pajiban regulars are already familiar with it though.

He was also in King Arthur. He played the mute guy carrying the falcon around.

Mads is very good, going to see this for sure

I just wanna share my experience here. I found my boyfriend several months ago, who is 10 years older than me, at http://EUAgeless.com/, a free place for age-gap relationship. It's fabulous! Maybe you wanna check it!

Thanks for the spoiler.

Seriously, what the fuck were you thinking? This film hasn't seen a wide release, yet, so there are very few who have seen it at this point, and you give the ending away?

The "dope" part of your web address is quite fitting...

spoiler just in case u didn't see the first one.... SPOILER!!!!!

I would like to think he died for the boy.

Just saw this film, twice. The violance is gory, but for a 93 minute film, I doubt there is more than 7 or 8 minutes of violence in the entire film. Really that's it.

The movie does draaaaagggggg in places, particularly on the boat voyage, which seems to last nearly as long as the transatlantic journey it represents.

One-Eye is the PERFECT name for the hero, as the Norse chief god Odin has plucked out his own eye in exchange for wisdom. But likely, only a Dane, a student of mythology, or a marvel comics fanboy would know that.

It helps knowing a bit about norse mythology and how the norse viewed their world and what their conception of hell was. The Viking hell -Helheim located in the "cold and misty" realm of Niflheim, so the landscape in the "new world" certainly does evok that.

The relationship between the boy and One-Eye is wonderful and gives the movie an emotional anchor, particulary at the very end of the movie when SPOILER--- One-eye holds the boys arm for just a second-- One-eye's version of a hug -- before meeting his death.

In all, I think this is a failed movie in some respects, the pacing is too slow, there is an insufficent amount of violence, the storyline between Obe-Eye and his Scots captors was never resolved (Barde the Scot chiefain, warns us that one-eye will come back to settle the score, but then One-eye takes off for the Holy Land, did the writers just forget about it)?

I think this movie will gain a cult following and grow in stature over the years, but still, there are problems with the narrative that will prevent the movie from ever being regarded as a true classic. For serious film students, and norse ehthusiasts, I would suggest this is a film worth checking out, but be prepared, it is the longest 93 minutes you will likely ever spend watching a film.

Battle of Britain time once more, time to remember all those fearless men, heroes, all of them.

Absolutely the two of my daughters simply adore justin bieber, I cannot understand it however he appears to be all the rage.

You should compare this movie with Dead Man, for landscape scenery, slowness and ultimate ending.

I recently stumbled across the coolest looking Simpsons porno parody of all time. It's fully live action and Marge is wildly hot, but i seriously practically crapped my pants once i saw Flanders. Its like they yanked him straight out of the show and made him real...
