Hornet's Nests

So we've recovered from over-stuffing ourselves with turkey and are now knee deep in The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. This is the last film in the Millennium trilogy and I'll admit it is somewhat bittersweet. We have had such a great time showing all three of the "Girl" films. These films are like the Indiana Jones series for arthouses. If you've joined us for the first two films, please make time to come see this last one (at least as of now, maybe a fourth book will materialize one of these days). If you haven't seen the first two yet, you still have time to stop by a redbox. It will be showing through Thursday, December 9. Here is a brief synopsis of the film:

In this last installment, Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She’s fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she’ll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist), she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she will plot revenge – against the man who tried to kill her, and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life.

Check out this great interview from Charlie Rose with lead Noomi Rapace:




And Mark Burger from Yes! Weekly says you won't be disappointed in how the film series wraps up.
