The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Disappointingly predictable - also seemed fast-paced and barely scratched the surface of some incredible plot-openers (Nazism , sado-masochism , corruption) ; wanting to instead shed light on the intriguing character of Lisbeth Salander played with brilliance by the gorgeous Rooney Mara.

So, it looks like Lebanon is gonna be playing in the world cup. Did you nominate anything? I could do with checking out some of your favourite music tracks.

I nominated West Beirut, and Riss didn't include Lebanon among the countries with not enough nominated films, so maybe it will be in, but best ask Riss.

Hi Edwin, It's a great list. I'm especially pleased to see that you feel just as strongly as I do regarding 'Eros + Massacre', 'In Vanda's Room' and the Jia and Diaz films, among others. Haven't noticed you around much, though. I hope you're doing well. Seen Arbid's new 'Beirut Hotel' yet? // Arsaib
