Sizzling Ladies At Fantastic Fest 2011

Julie R. Ølgaard & Synnøve Macody Lund in “Headhunters”

Julie R. Ølgaard is an award-winning actress who is also one of the most charismatic actresses that have ever graced the Danish Film scene. Formerly a student at The Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in LA, she returned to her native Denmark and swiftly began dazzling the industry over there. Famed for being the missing woman (the US remake calls her Rosie Larsen) so central in the hit Danish series “The Killing”, Julie has heaps of magnetism that it wouldn’t be inconceivable for anyone to want to rescue her. She’s appearing in the fast-paced heist thriller “Headhunters” screening at Fantastic Fest that promises to be hugely exciting. Fellow Blonde Synnøve Macody Lund is the film’s obvious leading lady who is nude in a number of scenes on her debut. What better than to be mesmerized by this pair of Danish Vixens.

Ashley Bell in “The Day”

She announced her arrival as an intense actress with an emotional tidal wave of a performance in “The Last Exorcism”. As Nell Sweetzer, Ashley Bell’s version of the Linda Blair-like demonic possession dispenses with the pea vomit, opting for a scarred psyche and some astounding back contortions which she gamely performed herself without any CGI! She’s making a habit of being a survivor onscreen be it from The Devil or the horrors of an apocalypse such as in “The Day”. It’s “Mad Max” meets “The Road” as Ashley wields her 9mm Berretta and shotgun in the face of impeding death. The psychedelic rock from “Explosions In The Sky” in the teaser (above) already foretells of the disquiet tension before the storm for this must-see film. Yet another demanding role in which Ashley will evidently ace!

Emma Lock In “The Human Centipede:Full Sequence”

About to play a major part in “The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence”, Emma Lock is destined to achieve cult status by the time this even more controversial sequel ends its run. She’s in the largely British cast who have been tasked to deliver on the ’100% medically inaccurate’ shocks that shook up the genre last year and spawned such a cultural phenomenon (South Park’s Centipad comes to mind)! Emma is a multilingual model/actress of Spanish/Chinese descent with eternally enchanting features. Hailing from West London, she has performed in indie films, theatre productions and has even done voice over work for BBC radio. Have a peek at the teaser trailer of her new thriller Drive-By-Sunset”. Emma is sweetly captivating as there’s a whole lot of sensual intrigue behind her doe-eyes and lively innocence..

Katy Mixon in “Take Shelter”

Jessica Chastain is proabably getting the plaudits as she has done all year but don’t forget there’s another talented lady in the existential drama “Take Shelter”. Just like the hallucinatory themes of the film, we’ll be fantasizing about Katy Mixon even if she’s more of a supporting act this time around. The helium-voiced, busty beauty has been heating up TV land for years in popular series “Eastbound and Down” as well as “Mike and Molly” utilizing that kooky sex appeal of hers. Audiences are calling her eminently watchable on “Mike and Molly” and at the very least should have been nominated as Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy (leading lady Melissa McCarthy did triumphed as Best Actress). While we may certainly lust after this sassy Sex Symbol, its those helpings of Southern Belle geniality that keeps us coming back for more.

Sharni Vinson in “You’re Next”

There’s really heaps of thunder from Down Under when referring to the impact of Australian Actresses and their invasion of the US Film market. Expect Sharni Vinson to provide some of it as this cutie stars in “You’re Next”, the all-the-rage horror entry at this year’s Fantastic Fest. Touted as the new “Scream”, the smart home invasion flick could transform Sharni into a household name not unlike how Neve Campbell is often put on the pedestal for being a Terror Hottie. And because she posed for Maxim Australia, I’ll let it slide that “You’re Next” doesn’t have a trailer out yet. Plus it’s now under the Lionsgate label and we all know how fantastic their stable of films have been. Ogle at her behind the scenes Maxim shoot (above)…her sexy accent, carefree hair and supple bod (which we saw plenty in Step Up 3D) is quite the arousing factor!

Hot Actress #490 – Nina Bergman: Blonde Bombshell

It’s been a long time coming for a tough as nails blonde with a devious edge to blow our minds onscreen. In 2009, we had the gratification of watching brunettes America Olivo, Julia Voth and redhead Erin Cummings Bitch Slap each other endlessly. The advent of NINA BERGMAN as the spicy villainess of upcoming indie “The Wayshower” represents the return to form of Femme Fatales who deliver smackdowns courtesy of their fists. With a surreal Donnie Darko-like vibe, a much coveted ancient book of power and the hero of the hour by the name of JESUS, it’s the age-old theme of Good Vs Evil we always get a kick out of. Sensually feral, NINA is delightfully wicked as the Violent Vixen alongside perennial creepy dude Peter Stormare and the duo make for an insidious pair indeed. Aside from acting, this Danish looker’s accomplishments extends to the modeling and singing planes too. She’s rivetingly loud to the senses as lead singer of alternative rock band Dead Rose Beauty and I was amazed to find out that her manager is the legendary Paul Anka! I have a feeling by virtue of those lingerie shots (above), it’s highly likely she’s a Sex Symbol in her native Denmark as well as in the minds of her hardcore fans. Can’t stop staring, there’s tons more at the NINA BERGMAN OFFICIAL SITE.

Her exhaustive collection of videos and reels accentuate the caliber of work she’s putting out for our enjoyment. Endowed with an abundance of sauciness and a sultry voice that can’t be manufactured even by those pesky auto tuners, NINA is a must listen, much watch entertainer. With the sheer volume of “friends” in the thousands (I reckon they’re more like devotees) on her Facebook Page, she’s becoming quite the obsession…:)

Hot Actress #456 – Patricia Schumann: Euro Hottie

Denmark may be a small market compared to HOLLYWOOD but there’s a constant pool of female performers to be marveled at especially when they come in the form of Nordic Goddess Patricia Schumann. Fresh off her win at the prestigious 2011 Bodil Awards for Best Supporting Actress as Sofie who offers occasional sexual comfort to the protagonist in the bleak tale ‘SUBMARINO’, somewhat becoming a crutch to the broken man. You get a sense Sofie is damaged goods and ultimately careering into a tragic ending. I must laud Patricia for impressively investing herself into such a troubled character that includes acting out a Blowjob scene and allowing her boobs to be fondled by a creepy dude no less. Even with the grim subject matter, she’s still a picture of sensuality and that can be attributed to her shimmering gorgeousness. The blonde siren is quickly developing into a Danish arthouse darling for besides “SUBMARINO”, she has appeared in 2 other features ‘PRELUDIUM’ and ‘PROFETIA’, both equipped with equally compelling storylines.

Hey HOLLYWOOD isn’t it time to woo and bring her Stateside! We’ve already seen how breathtaking she can be and it would be awesome if someday PATRICIA does an English-language drama. Someone who clearly thrives on pushing the boundaries in the various film she’s done having displayed full-frontal nudity in the film The Early Years, you might say European actresses are uninhibited but hasn’t nudity already become so mainstream, it’s popping up everywhere. What I’m pretty certain about PATRICIA SCHUMANN is that she’s already one of the most captivating women of the film world.

Hot Actress # 337 – Barbara Zatler: Euro Hottie

It’s becoming quite a habit having PLAYBOY MODELS on my blog but it’s all good! Enter Danish model and actress BARBARA ZATLER who has adorn the pages of international magazines ultimately becoming Playmate of the month September 2009 in Slovenian Playboy. Now that is one copy I’ll be itching to buy if it reaches my shores…hehe. I think if you head over to the BARBARA ZATLER OFFICIAL SITE, you might just get lucky as she has an assortment of seductive photos that will pulses racing even harder.

With the huge amount of press and TV as well as film roles, the voluptuous BARBARA is going to be buzz-worthy all year. With nary a hint of airs, Barbara will confound you with her witty intellect (i enjoy the things she espouses on being single) as she smashes the blonde bimbo stereotype to smithereens. A bikini goddess of immense allure, she has recently been named as a “Fresh Face Of The Week” on IMDB confirming her appeal. Humble and likable, Barbara has that pleasant personality that has her as a firm favorite in Denmark and now the world!

Hot Actress # 336 – Merete Van Kamp: Euro Hottie

MERETE VAN KAMP is one of Denmark’s finest actresses who found fame on America shores. She came to prominence at the age of 24, when she was cast in ‘DALLAS’, one of the most popular drama series in history. Home of the most beautiful women in the world that’s how Urban Dictionary choose to illustrate Denmark and they’re 100% spot on! The very resplendent MERETE VAN KAMP was already a successful model before she embarked on a film career and as i’ve always said once a hottie, always a hottie…age is irrelevant! She brings a glowing sophistication to her latest role as a self-assured reporter in the stylized noir thriller ‘WESTBRICK MURDERS’ that has a similar brooding tone to ‘Sin City’.

She’s carved a nice niche for herself in appearing in intense indies ‘WESTBRICK MURDERS’ and ‘CRAIG’ (check out the unrated trailers above) as she had done previously in the movie ‘The Most Dangerous Woman Alive’, a precursor to the new wave of female-driven revenge flicks of today. Behind her telegenic beauty you can sense that MERETE has a gentle, kind soul emphasizing just how wonderful she is an actress and as a person.
