If you haven't figured it out by now, I adore the Millennium trilogy by Steig Larsson (although I haven't read The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest yet). I outlined the plot of this in my post about the book The Girl Who Played with Fire, so I won't do that again, but I finally got to see the Swedish film this weekend.
I, obviously, loved it. The movie had an excellent pace, and despite being in Swedish (and thus having to read subtitles), it was a fun movie to watch. If I didn't know what was going to happen, it would have been suspenseful, and Noomi Rapace plays Lisbeth Salander perfectly.
I can't wait to both read and watch Hornet's Nest. And I really hope that the American version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is not completely screwed up. Go watch these movies if you have a few spare hours, it's an excellent way to spend an afternoon.
Next time, I'll have a post about Allen Ginsburg's Howl, and the film Howl, based on the poem and the obscenity trial surrounding its publication. Until then, Happy Reading!
