Tried to watch that last night as well. Lost interest after 30 minutes. Got further with the book without finnish that one either. No, Stieg Larsson just isn't for me.

Once you get over how nicely shot it is the film just shows itself for what it really is.... just an over-hyped thriller with some tacked on "shocking" scenes. |

Anonymous (2011)
With a great production value, set & costume design, the film comes with quite a notorious subject matter like Shakespeare authorship question, mainly inspired by The Oxfordian theory on the matter. I had actually very little idea about the topic until I saw the film & read about it last night. More than 2 hour long running time the movie has a good pace and as a political conspiracy thriller set in Elizabethan era, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Particularly Rhys Ifans (Earl of Oxford) & Vanessa Redgrave (Queen Elizabeth I) were great among the fine cast of actors. But when it comes to the historical facts, characters & accuracy, as far I know, they butchered most of it with a brutal fashion & one of the prime victims was the English poet & playwright William Shakespeare. So if you consider giving it a watch then my suggestion is take it as a "What if..." sort of film that's got an utterly fictional, (at times) comical & darker take on the source & 'mystery' behind the greatest treasures of English literature. Overall, a surprisingly well made film from director Ronald Emmerich, mostly in compare to his earlier big budget crap & disaster films. >>: B+

One Dark Night (1983) Can't believe I've never seen this before. Excellently creepy little film that is like candy for someone as morbid as me with a plot concerning psychic vampirism, telekinesis and energy fields this was adorable. Highly recommended.
