Really? Where in California is it playing? It's not playing anywhere in South Florida.

Ahh...I've checked everywhere within 60 miles of Fort Lauderdale and I can't find a single theater playing it. It's already made $100 million at the international box office, so I expect it to get a larger release soon. As the trailer said, both the book and movie have become a major phenomenon.

Mikejet--please post here with the thoughts of your wife regarding the film after she's seen it.

I doubt it too. Most of my family lives there and my grandparents are currently there, so I'll ask them to check.

What's going to be a negative is that most theaters don't play foreign films to begin with. Those that do will undoubtedly be playing the best foreign film nominees, to take advantage of the Oscar exposure.

Ahh gotcha. I'm resigned to the fact that I'll have to see it on On Demand or netflix before purchasing it.

This is the next book I will be reading, very excited about it. I am in line to pick up the IPAD on 04/03, and this very well may be my test book for the IPAD's E-Reader, if it is available of course.

The trailer was on the Ultimate Trailer show a few episodes back, looks very intriguing.

The first 30-40 pages is slow, but then it realllly picks up. I didn't think the second book in the series could be any better, but I was wrong. The Girl Who Played with Fire won all the awards it did for good reason--it's even better than Dragon Tattoo.

The movie version of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo combines elements of the first two books, so you get some of Lisbeth's backstory in the movie (the entire second book is about her backstory).
