A Brief Movie Review for 'The Girl Who Played with Fire (Flickan som lekte med elden)' (2009)

Movie  = The Girl Who Played with Fire (Flickan som lekte med elden) (2009)
Writer = Stieg Larsson
3/5 Stars ***

This is part 2 of the Millennium Series by Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson. While part 2 still keeps you a bit on your seat it doesn't quite live up to the quality of the The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (Part 1) but I have often found that this is how trilogies most often seem to be. The father of computer hacker Lisbeth re-emerges to wreak some havoc and as we uncover more of her past and family ties. The plot isn't quite as strong as the first story was, but it seems to all tie together in the end. Apparently Hollywood is re-making this movie already (despite the real-versions being made in 2009), although I doubt I will even bother to watch it as the Independent Swedish-versions are surely better than a Hollywood version could be. If you liked the first story you will probably like this one, and their is a third part to this series as well, so keep an eye out for that one too.

Song of the Day for September 19th, 2010: "Friday Night" by CASSIAN

And the song is....Friday Night, by Australian electro-funk-house artist CASSIAN. Now, there is little to no bio info on this artist, however he is from Sydney, and he does sound a bit like another electronic group called Chromeo. So I suppose that makes my job here today easier, and if you want to check out some more of his stuff, try his myspace page here. This song comes off of his Friday Night EP, which was release in 2009 and can be found on Itunes. Enjoy!

Song of the Day for August 24th, 2010: "Y-T-S-C" by Cassius

And the song is Y-T-S-C by French electronic duo Cassius. Cassius consits of producer-duo Philippe Cerboneschi and Hubert Blanc-Francard, also known as Philippe Zdar and Boom Bass. Y-T-S-C stands for Youth, Trouble, Speed, Cigarettes, as you will hear when you listen to the song, which was released as the first single off of their 4th and still to be titled studio album. The song was originally released as a digital download only on July 14th, 2009. Cassius has been around since 1988 and have also been known as The La Funk Mob.
