Back to Back: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) & The Grey

Another great weekend where I can watch two movies.  So I have been waiting for the Hollywood version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.  Let me start by saying that both versions (Swedish & American) stuck with the basic plot.  The rest however, were quite different.  I didn’t read the novel, so I couldn’t [...]
