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.

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
Never seen any of the mentioned movies. Loved the books too much to have it ruined.
