Yes, I'm still on a movie watching spree. This time at home, not in the theatre.

First up, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the Swedish version (there's a North Americian one being filmed) with English subtitles. It was good and followed the book quite closely, but left out a lot of the small details that made the book so long. They did leave out the fact that Blomkvist was sleeping with his married business partner and a member of the family that he was investigating. It did showed that he slept with Salander. An older lady at the library said not to bother watching the movie, it's not good and is too graphic and they didn't need to show all that they did. Well, I disagree. While the movie was graphic (rape, sex, torture, murder, etc), those parts were in the book, and are vital to the plot line.

Next movie was a silly light romance: Letters to Juliet. It was okay. But how many girls on a almost-honeymoon to Italy would leave their distracted boyfriends and travel the countryside with a strange 65 year old woman and her grandson looking for a boy that the woman knew when she was 15? Once you get past that, the movie was cute and fluffy and predictable.
