the last girl with/who movie

Sunday was another double feature day. First, The Inside Job again. It wasn't as good the second time.

Next, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. I love the main characters here. I love Blomqvist the journalist and Erika the other journalist and Lisbeth the girl with the tattoo and Blomqvist's sister who is Lisbeth's lawyer. It's not the best of the triology. That high five belongs to the first one. The second one was okay. I might rank them: 1,3,2. The third one gets second place because it's so sweet to see things finally kind of work out for Lisbeth. She shows up to court all punk/goth with big studs and piercings and a giant mohawk. She's, like, the tiniest goth you have ever seen. So, what happens is, apparently she set her dad on fire cos he abused her mom and then she was institutionalized because her dad was actually a russian spy and no one could know he was in the country and the mom had lost her mind so the little girl who would get a dragon tattoo and play with stuff and kick other stuff was like the only witness and there was a cabal of dudes in the govt assigned to make sure no one knows about the spy. So she gets locked away and declared unfit to handle herself. Except she's an awesome hacker and an information wizard. Which carries her for awhile until things get worse and worse. Until Blomqvist and his magazine Millenium and his sister get on board and they get really organized and then the govt gets involved and they track down the cabal members and discredit the doctor that says the Lisbeth is schizo. After her super horrific life, finally people are on her side and she's really vocal and right on in court and all the jerkoffs get in big trouble and arrested and it's great.

But I dunno if it was an awesome movie. It was more like, here, viewers, here's the wrapup!

So, there's HP2 and the new Coen Bros (True Grit!) and then what's next?
