Dark shadows
Ok. Definitely need to see this.
Kraftur – The last ride
Last night I watched the short documentary Kraftur – The Last Ride. It’s the story of Tóti and his horse Kraftur, an icelandic horse with enormous talent.
In 2007 they were invited to compete in the World Championship for Icelandic horses in Holland. Participating in the competition is a painful decision as it means Kraftur may never return to Iceland again. Regulations in Iceland are very strict and Icelandic horses have been in isolation for more than 1100 years. Once an Icelandic horse leaves the country, they are forbidden to return under any circumstances, this as a means of disease control.
It’s a touching story, and a documentary of beautiful footage. The atmosphere and nature in Iceland is absolutely breathtaking. When I was young I was in Iceland on vacation and got to experience horseback riding on Iceland horses, I hope to return some day in a not too distant future.
Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2011 – the whole show!
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2011 (part one)
It’ll be a while until the VS fashion show airs in Sweden, but until then you can watch it on YouTube. Believe it or not, I’ve only watched part one so far. I’ve got too much studying to do so I’ll wait to watch it until it airs on TV. But here’s the whole show in 8 parts (number one is embedded above).
Enjoy!
Do you wanna get out of here?
I saw Crazy Stupid Love this evening. Two words; loved it. The number one (and let’s be honest, ONLY) reason I wanted to see it was because of Ryan Gosling. And I thought it wasn’t possible to love him more than I do… Oh boy was I wrong.
Once
I met Beats and her friends last night to go to “Sommarbio” (summer movie) in the park! It’s an annual thing organized by the Stockholm Film Festival each summer. They’re screening movies Thursday-Sunday this week and last night they showed the Irish movie Once.
It was a really nice evening, the hot air balloons passed by shortly before the movie started and we had a nice little picnic of a mix of all kinds of things we like. I really liked the movie, and oh my god, the music! Some of the songs in the movie made the whole audience fall into dead silence and I sat there hypnotized by the beauty of it all.
I didn’t end up staying the whole movie through because I got so cold, it started raining a little bit which added to my chill. I definitely need to get my hands on this movie and see it again though.
Listen to these songs from the movie (and, of course, see the movie!) Both songs are by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova.
Falling Slowly
If you want me
What a wonderful Saturday!
My friend Linnea texted me yesterday to ask if I wanted to hang out. I was thrilled, she saved me from a day full of lying around inside doing absolutely nothing. We decided to go and have coffee and a treat at a nearby café and then take a walk into town and go to the movies. I’ve wanted to see Bridesmaids for a long time but everyone I ask has already seen it, luckily Linnea hadn’t though. We bought our tickets and then stopped by the magazine shop I used to work at to pick up a wedding magazine for Linnea, she’s getting married next spring!
Judging by what people who have seen Bridesmaids have said, I was expecting this movie to be pee-in-your-pants-funny. I was rather disappointed. Sure, it was funny, but it wasn’t that funny. The best character was Megan (played by Melissa McCarthy), you’ve really got to be a good actress and have a killer dose of confidence to handle playing a character like that, who’s the subject of all the fat-jokes.
Crazy stupid yummy
I have to see this movie. 99 percent because of Ryan Gosling. Because I love him. And my secret goal in life is to marry him. There, I said it.
Emile Hirsch and that kiss.
Emile Hirsch in Girl Next Door
Emile Hirsch. Love the guy. I die a little every time when I see “the kiss scene” in Girl Next Door and that song comes on. Just saying. And by the way WHY IS IT NOT LIKE THIS IN REAL LIFE!?
