Men who hate women

So, I watched this movie the other day. It's based on a book by Stieg Larsson and it's the first part of a trilogy. And I actually thought it was pretty good. It's about a journalist who helps an old man, Henrik Vanger, to solve a mystery with a missing girl, and when he digs in the Vanger's familyhistory he stumbles upon a horrible and bloody past...

I'm actually kinda surprised that I thought it was good, since I often don't like Swedish movies. They usually have bad actors, bad writing and bad directors. But not this time! Some of the actors were just ok, but there were also the actors who were just awesome. Noomi Rapace was great as the social misfit and computer hacker Lisbeth Salander, and so was Sven-Bertil as the worried old man Henrik Vanger. But the best actor was the perverted and disgusting Nils Bjurman, played by Peter Andersson. He was so great so I, my brother and his girlfriend actually felt sick everytime we saw him. I almost threw up, it was so disgusting. I'm not gonna tell you what he did, but damn was it disgusting.

So it was a good movie, with good acting overall, good build-up, a great twist at the end and overall good directing. And I liked that I didn't have to read the book to get the story and follow it through the whole movie. So I think I'm gonna give this movie 3,5/5. It's a good movie, but not great. Perhaps I'm gonna watch it again, but it's not on my "to do list" right now.


And speaking of nothing at all, I read the magazine Cinema the other day, and in it I read about 4 movies that I have to watch asap. The finnish sci-fi-comedy Iron Sky, Cirque de Freak: The vampire assistant, the animated movie Metropia and James Cameron's Avatar. I think they're gonna rock! At least Iron sky and Avatar. I wanna see them right now. But I guess I have to wait.

Two other movies that I'm waiting for are 9 and Up. Up is coming to Sweden the 16th of October. But I don't think 9 is coming to the theaters here ever. And that sucks... I'm totally upset!

Now it's time for work. Sucks...
