The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo, Gulliver's Travels - End, Oburcuk Mutfakta

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2009) Directed by Niels Arden Oplev, written by Nikolaj Arcel and Ramus Heisterberg, adapted from the wonderful book of the same name (orginal translation of the Swedish title is 'Man Who Hate Women').

I liked it. It kept the good parts, omitted the not so interesting parts and the locations were good. I didn't like the actors, the titular girl was a bit old (the writer makes a point on how she looks like a teenager in the novel) but the acting was not bad at all.

Gulliver's Travels ended on a high note and now I started a book of food related essays (appropriate for Ramadan - heh) written by Selim Ileri. I'm loving it.

Pleasantville, Bound - still Gulliver's Travels

Pleasantville (1998) Directed and written by Gary Ross.
It is just as nice the second time. Not more, not less.

Bound (1996) Directed and written by Wachowski bros (Andy and Larry -?- I think)
I liked it even better this time. The clean cinematography, close up shots, art direction and a good script with good acting. I liked it a lot.

I'm coming to the end of Gulliver's Travels and ironically I like these parts the best. Strong comments agreed with me more than the wittier ones.

True Blood Season II - End

Yeah I did another five episodes last night. The season ended with a cliffhanger and I'm so eager to watch more. Pretty much addicted. I love Stephen Moyer and Alexander Sarksgaard (Bill and Eric) great vampires with issues. Not only those but every side character is interesting with enough time to build a story around them and keep me interested.
