The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo - American Remake Trailer

The above video is an apparently bootleg trailer for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, a remake of the Swedish film and book of the same name.  The film concerns the characters of Mikael Blomkivst (Daniel Craig) and Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara) as they try to solve a 30+ year old mystery of a missing girl.  The trailer doesn't really give you a story, but instead shows off the mood of the film:  DARK.  I also like the cover of Led Zepplin's Immigrant Song by Karen O. and remixed by Trent Reznor (who is also doing the film's score).  I loved the book series, I liked the original film, and I try my best to forget the film's sequels.  I'm glad that David Fincher is directing and I'm glad I will finally get to see it this Christmas.

Top 10 Villains: #10

Principal Edward Rooney.  I felt I had to include at least one villain from a comedy, so this is the one.

Now a few word about the film, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, in case you haven't seen it.  It is a classic 80's comedy from the late, great director, John Hughes.  The film involves Ferris Bueller, high school senior who just doesn't want to go to school.  So what does he do?  He fakes an illness, that gets the attention of most of Chicago, and gets his girlfriend and his cynical friend, Cameron, to have a day in Chicago, all while in his friend's dad's Ferrari.  Now the villain.  Rooney is crazy.  Or maybe he cares too much about his student's education.  All he does the whole movie is try to prove Bueller is skipping school, but the kid is just too good at covering his tracks and having people help.  In all honesty, Ferris is a complete smart ass and we're supposed to be rooting for him.  Rooney just cares about his students.  But then again, Rooney does end up breaking into the kid's house.
