And here I am, the idiot who watched the remake of part one → The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (which is decent enough) on HBO the night before, rather than catching the original Swedish version on PBS a week ago. 🙂 😵 I suppose it isn't the end of the world if the remake follows the original closely enough to make the sequel easier to follow.
Anyway, this is excellent—though I suspect the first part holds more weight simply because the mystery itself is more gripping (a forty-year-old cold case involving a murder that turns out to be about a missing family member). I still need to see the third part → The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, which happens to be on the schedule for next week on PBS.
Michael Nyqvist (I know he passed away last year, R. I. P.) and Noomi Rapace are absolutely phenomenal. 🙏 I first noticed her a few years back in de palmin Passion Passion and I've been a fan ever since.
Just finished the finale of the trilogy. Honestly, I'm still kicking myself for not watching the first one solo—maybe it'll finally click for me some other time.
Dark as hell. It was actually great how they tied everything together. Personally, I didn't find it tedious or slow at all; in fact, I really leaned into it. This final chapter dives deep into the absolute hell Lisbeth has endured since she was a kid—just the sheer level of scum she had to deal with is staggering. 😠 The whole thing centers on her, her trial, and Blomkvist's frantic effort to prove she’s innocent. 😍 My only gripe? They barely gave them any screen time together here. 🙂

The House That Jack Built genre: psychological horror
director: von Trier
CAST: Matt Dillon, Bruno Ganz, Uma Thurman, Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Sofia Gråbøl, Riley Keough
runtime : 155 minute film: 155 minutes
This one hit the big screen at this year's Cannes festival—though it was technically out of competition.
The story follows Jack—an exceptionally bright serial killer—across a twelve-year span, detailing the specific murders that essentially forged his identity as a killer.
Unfortunately, I haven't caught most of the flicks on this list—so I’m putting my votes in for F. Murray Abraham and Tom Hanks. 😁
As for the ones I haven't seen yet, I'd really love to check out Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Daniel Day-Lewis in My Left Foot, and Tom Hanks in Philadelphia.
CAST: Jacob Tremblay, Owen Wilson, Julia Roberts, Isabela Vidovic, Mandy Patinkin
RUNTIME: 113 minutes
Quote: based on New York Times bestseller, Wonder is an incredibly moving and heartwarming story about August Pullman, a young boy born with a severe facial difference caused by a genetic condition.
August is a ten-year-old boy navigating life with a significant facial difference—the result of a rare genetic condition he's lived with since birth. After enduring twenty-eight different surgeries, which essentially kept him out of a traditional classroom setting, his parents finally make the leap and enroll him in fifth grade at Beecher Elementary. Naturally, Auggie heads into school with a massive amount of anxiety; he’s understandably terrified of the stares, the judgment, and the inevitable whispers from his new classmates.
CASTINGNatalie Portman, Peter Sarsgaard, Caspar Phillipson, Greta Gerwig, and Billy Crudup.

The movie follows Jacqueline Kennedy during her tenure as First Lady in the White House and her life in the aftermath of the assassination of her husband, President John F. Kennedy, back in 1963. It really centers on that Life magazine interview with the widow at Hyannis Port. LifeTheodor H. White's Life magazine interview with the widow at Hyannis Port.
The movie made its big debut at the Venice Film Festival back on September 7th, while the US premiere is currently slated for December 2nd. As for when we can catch it in our local AMC Theatres—no idea yet.
The following actors all auditioned for the role of Mozart:
Mel Gibson, Mick Jagger, Sam Waterston, and Tim Curry all auditioned for the role of Mozart.
Meg Tilly (whom I caught in Psycho II) was originally set to play Constanza, but after tearing a tendon just a day before her first scene, she was replaced by Elizabeth Berridge.
Meg Tilly originally was cast as Stanze but tore a leg ligament in a street soccer game the day before she was to film her first scene. Elizabeth Berridge and Diane Franklin were both screen tested as replacements, with Berridge getting the role.
I haven't actually sat down to watch the movie yet, though I have a feeling it’s fantastic. It’s a real shame it didn't snag a single Oscar nomination. Maybe it's because the documentary Man on Wire already took home the Oscar for Best Documentary back in 2009—so they figured nominating it for Best Picture at this year's Oscars would just be redundant. 🤷 But honestly, why skip him for other categories? For instance, Best Actor—looking at the comments, it's clear Gordon-Levitt absolutely crushed it—or even Best Director... 😳 I've always considered Zemeckis to be one of the greats, personally.
It got snubbed by the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards, too. 👎
