The girl with the dragon tattoo

Labels: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I watched the movie last night and I find it very attractive.
Of course the movie is not for the ones under 18 years because it contains lot of explicit sex scenes. The movie is based on a Stieg Larsson novel. I can't compare the book with the movie, but the movie made me want to read the book. All the action takes place in Sweden and it's structured on 3 layers. The story is very complex and is nicely shown to the public.
Daniel Craig is doing his best in interpreting an magazine writer. The character is not very polished and I think that Daniel Craig is not fitted for this role. I always picture him as agent 007 so it's hard for me and maybe for others to see him in the posture of a harmless magazine writer.
Rooney Mara is the ugly girl with a dragoon tattooed on her back. And you actually get to see her whole back. Lisbeth Salander is a complex 23 years old girl with a violent background, which hates rapists. The conclusion on this is that she was abused by her father. Actually she is sexually abused in the movie by her social agent, but she thought him a lesson.
All in all the movie was great and kept you entertained till the end. One of the remarks I heard exiting the movie theater was "It totally worth it."
Enjoy the trailer.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Labels: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

So what do we have here, Peter Jackson directing another epic story from J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit. I for one never read the book, but read all Lord of the Rings story and I find it fascinating. However Peter Jackson is familiarized with the story as he is former director of Peter Jackson and he also keeps Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom, Ian McKellen and  Ian Holm (sorry if I missed somebody) from the former trilogy of Lord of the Rings. From this collaboration only a movie as good or even better than Lord of the Rings can get.
The Trailer indicates that beside fun the characters are creating a lot of mysterious and thrilling moments. From what I could peek out is that the story is told to Frodo by Bilbo in great detail so it's like a framed movie. As I know(could be wrong though), The Hobbit was written before Lord of the Rings so is not a framed story, however I think that the whole movie is set to be linked with Lord of the Rings even if the action within has it's action before the great Frodo's adventure.
I just can't wait for the new adventure to begin, enjoy the trailer.
