Films

Last night I watched "The Doris with the Dragon Tattoo". Having never read the books or seen the original Svenska version, I was a total Larssen virgin. I though that James Bond gave a credible performance (particularly after seeing the Broccoli-esque title sequence), but Rooney Mara was the real star.

Overall it was a seriously gripping 158 minutes and there wasn't a single moment where I thought it was dragging on.

Go and see it!

I really liked it too. Just wanted to add that I think the Hollywood version is better than the swedish production. Actually as always the books are still better, since both versions fail to give the passage of time in the movies. Also both versions have different endings to the book.
