Movies you've seen recently (Part 1)

I have seen both the Swedish original and the American remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and far prefer the latter: better cast, script and production values IMHO.

Meanwhile, on another level entirely, is Master and Commander, The Far Side Of The World which is a compelling adventure filled with charismatic charm, tangible dangers, and a cleverly staged story, almost exclusively at sea and from the one ship’s point of view. Many praises have been heaped upon it, and they are well deserved. And I completely agree in that it’s one of the best Star Trek movies that never was. It’s a shame they didn’t make a trilogy. I understand a prequel is in the cards, but that will have a different cast, writer, and director, so is an unknown quantity.

Agreed on all counts! This earlier thread may interest you: Master and Commander
