Finished The Girl Who Played With Fire and am on The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest-enjoying it so far.
Watched Paul Newman, Melanie Griffith, Bruce Willis, and some other folk in Nobody's Fool, based on the novel by Richard Russo. It's about a depressed town in upstate NY. Newman is a 60 year old living alone for decades after he left his wife and son when the boy was about a year old. Son and wife and two kids come for a visit. Everyone's really good in it and Newman deserved his Oscar. Interesting and satisfying.
The Italian Job original with Michael Caine and of all people Noel Coward! Fun caper movie very much of the 60s. Cliffhanger of an ending.
The Jacket with Adrian Brody, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Kris Kristofferson, Daniel Craig, and Keira Knightly about a veteran of the first Gulf War who after being shot in the head remembers very little about himself and is pretty screwed up. He ends up in a mental hospital where one of the psychiatrists (Kristofferson) subjects him to a torturous, experimental treatment. I liked it much more than I expected. I thought it was going to be a horror movie, which it's not at all. Thriller and creepy at times and occasionally scary. Interesting use of color throughout the movie. Kind of saturated, I think.
