The Swedish film was far better than the Hollywood film with Daniel Craig IMO. I watched the extended version which has an extra 30mins to the cinema release.The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (based on the book by Steig Larrson). Foreign film but had english subtitle. Very good- held true to the book but a lot of stuff was missing like the interactions between Blomkist (sp) and the staff at Millennium. Some scenes were...brutal but definitely more visual and compelling than the book.
Captain Philips

i have NO sympathy for the Somalis pirates, bunch of assholes they are, hope US Navy Kills more of them!

Wanted to see Frozen this week but we didn't go out (good thing anyway- snowed that day).
Yes. The Swedes filmed all three books. I watched a DVD box set which had the extended version of all three - six 90min episodes. They were quite faithful to the books, but inevitably there were some changes and omissions. But as I posted earlier, far superior to the US version.The US version was the one I was looking for but stumbled upon the Swedish version first. Will check it out. Ambrosia-- I agree- I read all 3 books and it does start out slow. What was funny was that I read the 2nd book first before I realized I read them backwards...Once I read the first book- a lot of stuff in the 2nd one (Girl Who Plays with Fire) made a lot more sense.
I did see that there is a Swedish movie version for The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest- is there one for the Fire one as well?
