I have seen Dragon Tattoo and I liked the movie. I had not read the book but the movie made me want to do so. I could tell there were some shortcuts taken with the plot though.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Rented Fantastic Mr Fox. Loved it so much! We watched Ponyo earlier this week and loved it as well. Yay for excellent animation!

Happy to report that everyone loved How To Train Your Dragon, 2 8yo boys, both grandparents and myself. It was very fun.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We went to A Prophet last night and I thought is was amazingly good. It's dark and violent and there are complicated alliances to keep track of, but it was so wonderfully powerful and rich.

That's good to hear. I like to see the few French things that come out here, but the story didn't grab me.
Was it mostly in French? Something the director said in an interview about language made me think it was in another language, Corsican or Arabic or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
