A FINE INVESTMENT

Proving that consistency is not always a good thing, it was again a sizzling 100 degrees out this Saturday.  I decided to stay cool and went to what my wife and I refer to as the "Cheapo" theater.  Others may know it as a second-run movie house.

Unlike someone I know who could afford to spend $20.00 to see the excellent INCEPTION, I decided to go down a more frugal route.  For the staggering fee of $2.00 I spent almost two and a half hours watching the excellent Swedish film THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO...

Based on the novel by the late Stieg Larsson, the film is entirely in Swedish with English subtitles and was shot in Stockholm and other parts of Sweden (in keeping with the Swedish theme).  A suspenseful murder mystery, it flowed very nicely and was quite unpredictable.  And yes, there was a reference to meatballs in the movie.  However, there was no mention of IKEA whatsoever.

It will be out on DVD soon and is worth checking out.
