The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011 U.S. version)

The James Bond-style opening sequence was silly & head-spinning, but the film itself was well-done, & a fine remake.

Nothing about it, though, could do anything but confirm that this "instant remake" was completely unnecessary.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest

The final film in the trilogy had me on the edge of my seat, mesmerized as I probably haven't been since-- well, probably not since The Girl Who Played with Fire.

These movies are so good, that I'm really scared by the prospect of the upcoming American remakes--why try to redo a perfect product?

The Girl Who Played with Fire

Some people might not realize that this is the same "girl" as in the last film-- so a better title might be, "The Girl, with the Dragon Tattoo, Who Played with Fire."

Anyhow, it's another scandalous mystery, and it got exciting fast, & stayed exciting.
