Lisbeth Salander by any other name
With better production values, a more fluid plot, and several more believable characters, the American adaptation of “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” should be a definite improvement on the Swedish one. But it isn’t. With everything else aside, the main difference between the two is this: in the Swedish film, Lisbeth Salander is angry, purposeful, and smouldering. In the American film, she is fragile, alienated, and, at times, apologetic. View article.

Ask anyone who’s been to New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina — real New Orleans, past the French Quarter and Bourbon Street and the one thing that’s brought up over and over is the people. How kind they were. How thankful. How — and this is the most surprising, after everything they’ve been through — happy. It’s been over three and a half years since the waters that covered the city receded, and the rebuilding has hardly started, but residents and volunteers alike are working towards Louis Armstrong’s wonderful world.

Review: Lullabies for Little Criminals
The debut novel by Montreal writer Heather O’Neill is a far cry from the lighthearted, feel-good novel its lime green and hot pink cover professes it to be.

Instead, it’s gritty, and more than sometime shocking. Visit site.
