Män som hatar kvinnor (e. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo)

A few weeks back I went to see the first part of the Millennium series, Män som hatar kvinnor, based on the book with the same name (strangely named The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo in the English translation instead of the obvious Men who hate women).

Terminator Salvation

I saw Terminator Salvation last weekend. The fourth Terminator movie takes place in the year 2018. Each of the previous Terminator movies has changed the future in different ways, each one creates a new timeline and it comes most apparent in this one. The original Judgement Day in T1 was in 1997 but following the changes to the timeline in T2 and T3 Judgement Day happened in 2004 resulting in the...
