Banana Munki

I don’t often get the chance to review movies that I watch. I watch plenty periodically but when I get the chance to update my blog I feel that I have something else that I rather share. Now I’m thinking it’s loong (no I did not misspell this word) over due for a movie post. Yes, I’m tired, it’s past midnight and I’d also love to be asleep but I want to update about this movie I saw: Män som hatar kvinnor (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo).

This is a mystery/thriller move and while I find the Swedish title misleading and non-relating to the story and it’s unlikely I would have watched this movie had it not been for the Swedish title which inspired to curiosity it’s not a fantastic movie however I did become quite intrigued by Noomie, the female lead character of this film. It did however recieve a 7.6/10 rating out of 5,164 votes over at imdb.

(Swedish for ”Men who hate women,” renamed in the English translation as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo)
Award-winning novel by the late Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson, the first in his ”Millennium Trilogy”.

Lisbeth Salander plays Noomi Rapace

Men Who Hate Women opened in France on 13 May, in Italy and Spain on 29 May 2009.

The girl who played with fire will premier simultaneously in Sweden, Norway and Denmark on 18 September 2009. In Finland, the film will open one week later.

The girl who kicked the hornets´nest will subsequently be released 27 November 2009 in Sweden, Norway and Denmark and in Finland during January 2010.

Rumors have been speculating on a Hollywood version of the book. Yellow Bird, executive producer Søren Stærmose confirmed in an interview with Swedish newspaper Expressen that negotiations are taking place. This would not be a US remake of the Swedish films but rather new Hollywood films based on the books.  – source
