The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo: Stieg Larsson's international bestseller has been made into a film in the author's native Sweden. Roger Ebert gave the adaptation four stars in his review, and was particularly commendatory of actress Noomi Rapace as the heroine, Lisbeth Salander. You can expect a less-interesting Hollywood remake in the near future. (The film's U.S. distribution is being handled by Music Box Films, the company which runs Chicago's finest movie theater.)

A Single Man: Adapted from the novel by Christopher Isherwood, A Single Man is the directorial debut of fashion designer Tom Ford. Set in 1962, Colin Firth plays a gay British expatriate mourning the loss of his lover. The wardrobe and set design are every bit as impressive as you'd expect, given the talent on hand. (Ford hired the same production designers that have made AMC's Mad Men the gold standard for vintage style.) Colin Firth and Julianne Moore give excellent performances.
