HISTORY presents the television event of the summer:

EXPEDITION AFRICA: STANLEY & LIVINGSTON.

The history channel puts on some excellent programs that educates while entertains.  I can’t wait to see this series.

Watch the series premiere May 31 at 10pm/9c. Twenty miles off the coast of eastern Africa, four modern-day explorers are sailing toward the unknown, the deep interior of Tanzania. They’ll travel over 900 miles through African terrain that is as stunning as it is fraught with danger. Using only a compass and basic maps, they will attempt to recapture the spirit of one of the world’s most remarkable adventures-journalist Henry Morton Stanley’s perilous 1871 journey to find Dr. David Livingstone. Their historic exploration has been captured by one of the premiere storytellers of our time, Mark Burnett. This is not a competition or a game. It’s a real-life adventure.

Who Killed The Red Baron?

the-red-baron1

The Red Baron is one of the most famous guys to ever have flown a plane. You might have heard of him before but you’ll definitely remember him after you see the movie. Who was The Red Baron? Who killed him at the end? The movie doesn’t answer these questions as historians failed to do it so far. He was a great pilot but was he as good a person? Is the hero we see here an actual hero? Let’s not forget it was still a war and he did do his best and more to shot down 80 enemy fighters. He would have killed more if he had the chance.

The Red Baron is a movie you should consider watching. It has everything you’re looking for. There’s romance, action, excitement and a hero dies at the end. I have not ruined the ending for you. I couldn’t have since it’s based on actual events. You’ll have to watch it for the aerial display if you’re a plane lover. The dog fights are amazing but I would have expected more minutes to be dedicated to actual plane fighting.

Besides Matthias Schweighöfer who’s playing the Red Baron you’ll recognize Joseph Fiennes whom doesn’t need an introduction anymore and Lena Headey, the leading lady in The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Yes, she’s John Conner’s mom. Still hot but not as dangerous in here.

NOSTRADAMUS: 2012 on HISTORY

Here’s a show to watch over the last of the winter break.

In 2012, a rare and possibly Earth-shattering astrological alignment is due to occur that will precipitate a cataclysmic event. Whatever is in store — a massive cosmic collision, a global environmental disaster, an Armageddon-like religious showdown, or a more subtle transformation — there have been multiple predictions from different times and cultures that December 21, 2012 will mark a major shift in the history of our planet.

NOSTRADAMUS: 2012 takes a detailed investigation of this chilling prophecy. This explosive two-hour sequel picks up where The Lost Book of Nostradamus left off. NOSTRADAMUS: 2012 seeks answers to key critical questions that may loom in just four years: Is there any modern scientific proof that such an alignment will indeed happen? Is any other compelling evidence throughout history that 2012 will be a year of unprecedented, even deadly, upheaval? 

There is no disputing that we are a planet in crisis, and that there is a growing public obsession with 2012.  But there is no cogent distinction between the sobering facts and hysterical fiction. What, if any, is the scientific ballast that substantiates the fears? NOSTRADAMUS: 2012 will look for the parallels between the nightmarish daily headlines and the 2012 prophecies from Nostradamus and others. 

From the mystical realms of the Guatemalan jungles to the high-tech corridors of NASA; from the Hopi elders and Mayan shaman to the most respected thinkers of the modern age; from the symbology of the ancient pyramids in Mexico and Egypt to that of the gothic cathedrals and monuments of Europe — the 2012 doomsday warning will be cast in a frighteningly modern context.  December 21, 2012 is bearing down on us with alarming speed – and whether or not we are able to collectively heed the warnings and affect a course to avert disaster may be the defining moment of the modern age.

Catch Jurassic Fight Club live at www.history.com/jurassic- a new series that illustrates prehistory and depicts how dinosaurs hunted their prey, dissecting these battles and uncovering a predatory world far more calculated and complex than originally thought.  Featured on the minisite is Jurassic Fight Club: Turf Wars, a visceral, no holds barred fighting game that is nothing less than a dinosaur fan’s dream come true. 

Jurassic Fight Club:  Turf Wars allows players to take control of prehistoric creatures and assault their opponent with a wide variety of special moves and techniques, including ferocious lunges, vicious bites and punishing tail whips.  As the season progresses, the cast of characters will grow larger and larger.  Following the television broadcast-premiere on July 29, new beasts are unlocked each week allowing players to recreate epic showdowns featured on air.  The detailed 3D models and lush backgrounds, pulled straight from the Jurassic Fight Club program, will bring these prehistoric brawlers back to life for an epic gaming experience.

History comes out with some of the most intriguing and entertaining pieces about the past and present. This time they bring us a dinosaur’s life.  From this show you can tell it was not easy. Volatile pre-historic terrain, harsh climate conditions, insufficient food and water, as well as unrelenting enemy predators made survival anything but a given.

What is really amazing about today there are cutting edge forensics leading to new discoveries every day, researchers are gaining remarkable insight into the mind and physiology of these ancient beasts. The new series JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB, premiering on History Tuesday, July 29 at 9pm ET/PT, brings the history of dinosaurs and their epic encounters to life like never before seen with CGI, illustrating the characteristics that made some the hunters and others the game.
