Alexander Skarsgard Films 

I have really loved Alexander Skarsgard for a longtime, I think I first noticed him when I saw him in the HBO 2008 True Blood series .. Here are some of my favorite films of his..



True Blood 2008 - American Fantasy Horror based on a series of novels that premiered in 2008 and depicts a unique and yet fantasy driven story based in Louisiana about mortals, vampires and wolves would simply not do this series, the cast also includes fairies, witches, and shape-shifters as well.  While the storyline seems dark and brooding it also contains many provocative nuances along with humorous aspects. While the series has now ended, it continues to have a fan base and many such as myself loved many of the characters. It was pure entertainment, at times very sexual which more than likely didn't hurt its ratings .. Look this sort of series isn't for everyone but if you want to binge watch and enjoy TV fantasy genre such as Night Gallery, X Files, Tales from the Crypt, The Twilight Zone (all oldies and yet classic fantasy series), and American Horror Story (still ongoing American Fantasy series with many provocative story lines as well) than you will enjoy True Blood. So what do you have to lose, trust me it will keep your attention.

Alexander Skarsgard plays Eric Northman in the series .. and has to be one of the most attention grabbing vampires I have ever seen on screen... 




Long Shot  2019 - is a romantic comedy that follows a gifted, "say it like it is" journalist Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen) who after running into his former babysitter and childhood crush Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron)..who is now the United States Secretary of State .. Charlotte impulsively hires Fred to be her speech writer after deciding to run for the presidency.. This movie is definitely entertaining.. the chemistry between the two of them possibly could have been better.. but of course ..(Theron) is playing the Secretary of State.... Alexander Skarsgard plays Prime Minister James Steward in the film.. The film definitely has a lot of charm and is well worth watching..

I also thought the film did a great job at delivering a satirical look at some of our politicians of today.. and being transparent and standing up for what you believe in is always the best policy..  



Big Little Lies 2017 HBO -  is a drama series based on a book by the same name by Liane Moriarty.. The 1st season is 7 episodes and has been renewed for a 2nd season and set to be released in June 2019.. The 1st season followed 5 women (Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern and Zoe Kravitz) all living in Monterey California.. and all with 1st graders..  One of the women (Kidman) is being abused by her husband Perry Wright (Alexander Skarsgard), another one is running away from the past (Woodley) and (Witherspoon) is harboring a secret.. (Kravitz) is the 2nd wife of Witherspoon's ex-husband.. and finally (Dern) is a wealthy diva with some issues of her own..  "The Monterey Five" witness the gruesome death of Perry (Kidman's husband) in the 1st season..  This series is gripping, full of drama and intelligent.. As well as full of twists and turns..

While I'm kicking myself for not having watched the series before now.. I am really looking forward to watching the 2nd season as (Meryl Streep) will be joining the cast.. as the mother of the deceased..



Legend of Tarzan 2016 - is an adventure action film .. In the film the man once called Tarzan (Alexander Skarsgard) has settled down in London with his wife Jane (Margot Robbie).. and is now living under his birth name John Clayton III.. John's story is legendary and is invited by King Leopold to visit Boma and report on the development of the Congo by Belgium.. An envoy, George Williams (Samuel L. Jackson) reveals suspicions that Leopold is enslaving the Congo people .. he persuades Tarzan to go to the Congo... After Tarzan and Jane return to the Congo.. mercenaries raid the village, kill the tribal leader and capture Tarzan and Jane..

Love this film.. it had everything .. animals, action, romance, and both Tarzan (Skarsgard) and Williams (Jackson) are outstanding..  Truly enjoyable movie for the whole family..



The Aftermath 2019 -  is a period drama based on the 2013 book of the same name by Rhidian Brook.. starring Keira Knightley, Jason Clarke, and Alexander Skarsgard.. In the film it is 1946 and Rachael Morgan (Knightley) arrives in the ruins of Hamburg Germany reuniting with her husband Lewis a British Colonel.. and taken to the home where she discovers she will be living with its previous owners a German widower Stefan Lubert (Alexander Skarsgard) and his daughter.. and in the tense atmosphere Rachael and Stefan find solace in each others grief.. him having loss his wife during the war as well as Rachael having loss her son.. There is passion and betrayal.. and pain.. I loved it.. a smart and well acted period drama well worth watching.. 



What Maisie Knew 2012 - is an dramatic film starring Julianne Moore, Alexander Skarsgard, Onata Aprile, Joanna Vanderham and Steve Coogan.. The film finds little six year old Maisie in the middle of a custody battle between a neglectful set of parents (one of which is a businessman and one is a singer) and their new partners (one of which is her nanny who marries her father and the other being a struggling bartender turned stepfather)..

I have to admit this film totally grew on me .. like an modern adaptation of Kramer vs Kramer.. the film is well worth watching since this is a story of what not to do when you divorce.. This film is also the first time I have seen a softer and more human side of Alexander Skarsgard.. totally charming in this film.. LOVED IT
