Today my husband and I took a much needed break from hospitals and holidays. We went to see The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and then out to dinner.
The movie was fabulous! I read all three books and was a fan since the books came out. I’ve gone to see other movies based on books I’ve read and nine times out of ten was disappointed. For some reason the screen writers just can’t capture the essence of the relationships between the characters as they’re depicted in the book. In this movie I give kudos to the screen writers. They included just enough to give the viewer a good idea of just how each character connected and still kept the story true to screen format. Not an easy skill.
If you haven’t read the books, read them. Them go check out the first movie in the series. Rooney Mara, granddaughter of NY Giants co-owner Wellington Mara, gave an Oscar winning performance. She brought the role of Lisbeth Salander to the big screen in a big way.
My husband and I both enjoyed the movie. (first time I didn’t drag him to a chick-flick) And if you’re a Cape Codder, and see the movie in the Cape Cod Mall, you can take your ticket to Joe’s for dinner, and get 15% off your bill. For the husbands, you can’t go wrong. Make it a “date night” this holiday season.
And so, as another day goes by, running away from the holidays was fun, and …I have written.
tattoos are always cool.
