Freakin' Excellent Trilogy now I got the extended editions to watch...

I only saw the trailers for the Hollywood version, with Rooney Mara; in these Salander's character seems to have softened far too much. The poster was particularly offensive in this regard: had Blomqvist tried to put his arm around Salander in that way, she'd probably rip it off and feed it too him, without salt.
 
I watched Tower Heist today. Nice, enjoyable movie.

It stars Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Alan Alda, Matthew Broderick, a lovely, lovely Tia Leoni, Judd Hirsch, and many others you may recognize.
 
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly... Been many years since I've seen this movie from beginning to end.
Lee Van Cleef sure does play a good bad guy in this movie.
 
Two best lines in the movie:

Tuco's taking a bath, man from beginning of movie that Tuco shot breaks in and starts jabbering about how he's gonna kill him. Suddenly shots ring out from underwater in the bathtub. Man falls dead, Tuco says "If your gonna shoot, shoot, don't talk".

And at the end in the cemetary after Angel Eyes is dead, Blondie to Tuco, "The way I see it, there's two kinds of people in this world, the ones with guns, and one's that dig. Start digging" as he throws Tuco a shovel.
 
Kick A€s 2 17/20 (imhfo)

Saw it on Saturday, I was quite impressed, even Jim Carrey was acting (as he usually does in less comedic roles) - the trailers lead you into a false sense of him being his usual rubber faced self, to be honest as Captain Stars and Stripes he did a good job being gritty, dark humoured and fairly un-Carrey like. I had (many posts) earlier disparaged his selection for this role, I was foresightedly biased wrong.

The rest of the cast were as good being more improved skills believability wise, some of the stunts were a little off, but that's likely 'cos they didn't use fully computerised animated CGI stunts; if they did then it was cutting pasting 'stunt film' over/onto background film - so some of them looked more natural if organically jittery.

The story was fairly close to the comic storyboard (as far as I've occasionally kept up with the paper version that is) with the usual KA amount of stunts, lashings of blood, very imaginative language and dark humour, but also a little more juxtapositional IRL moral mirroring.

I can think of films that spent the 2:05 hours time much less well; remember, if your going to go watch KA2, do stay until the end after the credits.
