Wednesday Review: Stieg Larsson

Subtitles can go either way. They make you watch the whole movie, cause you have to sit there and read every stikin' line of a truly wonderful epic (Hero, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Curse of the Golden Flower) but they also sometimes drag on (Inglourious Basterds which I enjoyed but it needed some serious editing).

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl who Played with Fire were awesome. I haven't seen The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, but once it comes out January 25, I'm there.

I read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo when it first hit American bookshelves 2 years ago and loved it. I couldn't finish it fast enough, not because I wanted it to end, but because I wanted to know what happened next. Actually, I listened to it. Why? You try pronouncing some of those names and places. It's easier when someone else does.


I devoured the other two in the trilogy just as fast and let me tell you, it's a darn shame there'll be no more in the series. They were just that good.


If you haven't read the books, watch out for those graphic acts of violence, and read for the mystery, the girl, Lisbeth, and the Swedish culture. Fascinating all round!

I don't agree with Hollywood about remaking this already stellar movie. I *heart* Daniel Craig don't get me wrong, but there's no need to make a Hollywood-ized version that will probably add unnecessary things in and take out what made this book and movie so awesome to begin with.

Hollywood, why not try a werewolf story instead? ;)
