Oops, my bad. I didn't know Mads had a brother.

In a comedy? That's highly irregular.
I've not seen any Danish comedies - except the segments on Eurovision :ph34r:

Wolf's Blood (1925)

Deep in the dark Canadian woods two logging companies are at odds.  One company, the Consolidated, starts shooting the loggers from the Ford company.  The foreman, a brawny, strapping lad, sends for the owner and a surgeon.  The owner, a cantankerous anti-Semite... oops, wrong Ford company, this one is led by a lithe twenty year old woman.  She and her fiance, a surgeon, travel into the Canadian wilderness.  The owner is smitten by the foreman, but hesitant to act on her desire.  The foreman is badly beaten by loggers of the other company.  The surgeon, in order to save him gives the foreman a transfusion of wolf's blood (Canadian medical science for the win!)  But, as every graduate of McGill College of Medicine can tell you, when you give a man a transfusion of wolf's blood he becomes a werewolf.  Hilarity ensues when one of the loggers of the rival company has his throat ripped out by a wolf; but perhaps not everything is as it appears.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Immortals. C+

The story is none too exciting, pretty much run of the mill and rushed at times (don't expect an accurate retelling of Greek mythology here, or a deep message), but this being a Tarsem Singh movie, the visuals are interesting, as you would expect. The stylized pseudo-Greek designs feel more like a stage production, and so does some of the production quality. I think "high budget, stylized classical stage play with CGI to match" would be the best description. In all it created a very unreal, almost dreamlike feeling, which worked pretty well for me, though (YMMV).

The performances range from decent to serviceable. I liked Henry Cavill much better in this one than in Man of Steel. John Hurt does a decent minor part, and Mickey Rourke as the heinous villain is clearly having a lot of fun with his role. I would have liked more Stephen Dorff, though.

The real problem with Immortals is that it ranges from visually stunning to unbelievably boring and static.  The plot doesn't help.

Well, the animated sequence *does* feature a glam make-over ...  :hmm:  :P

Cold weather gives you an excuse to wear fabulous scarves.
