Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

The Millennium series consists of three bestselling novels, originally written in Swedish, by the late Stieg Larsson (1954–2004). The two primary characters in the saga are Lisbeth Salander, a woman in her twenties with a photographic memory and poor social skills, and Mikael Blomkvist, an investigative journalist and editor of a magazine called Millennium. …

The movies are better.

Swedish film production company Yellow Bird released 3 films on November 24, 2010. With Michael Nyqvist as Mikael Blomkvist and Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salander.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, released on February 25, 2009.
The Girl Who Played with Fire, released on September 18, 2009.
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest, released on November 27, 2009.

Warren, Sandy and I watched them in series. Recommended.

We also watched the American version of Dragon Tattoo with Daniel Craig as Blomkvist and Rooney Mara as Salander.

Also excellent.

Click PLAY or watch the Swedish trailer on YouTube.

Click PLAY or watch the American trailer on YouTube.

If forced to choose between, I’d say the American movie was slightly more memorable. Rooney Mara even more shocking than Noomi Rapace.

Lisbeth Salander is the main reason to watch.

We’re looking forward to the next two American films.

    So funny, Rick! Just watched the American version last week! Great movie… strangely erotic and captivating… found myself thinking about it for several days after, which I always say is the mark of a great movie… She is a star, for sure! Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2012 10:03:53 +0000 To: funnflip@msn.com
