Fighter is super solid. Christian Bale's performance was really good.

Just make sure you can handle Boston accents....

Do you mean Baston accents like wicked cool every other sentence and R's replaced with Ah's or Boston accents like what's in The Departed?

Not sure.

Either way, both are obnoxious and if you can't deal with them you will be annoyed with the film.

Every now and then my wife hears a word she hasn't heard before, and Friday, that word was "wicked." I used it in the Boston way, but I made sure to explain that it only means "very" in Massachusetts.

I use it all the time. I'm trying to spread it to the south. I cheered in "the fighter" when the girl said she went to URI (my college). Probably the only time I've ever cheered for that hell hole.
And yes, Christian Bale was excellent (so was Marky Mark). I couldn't believe that was actually him in that movie.
The movie's accent's weren't entirely realistic either.

I hate comic books, and since every new film seems to be based on them, that rules me out.

Maybe the Cohens have another project coming. [Looks like Suburbicon is coming next year, but not this year.]

I used the word "wicked" all the time as a joke with a Bostonian accent.

Also there are a lot of films I am looking forward to seeing that aren't related to comics... Cohens are the truth though...

What the crap is the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo about anyway? Everyone talks about it, yet it seems like no one has actually read it.

A girl with a dragon tattoo, seems pretty obvious from the title. I kid, The "millennium trilogy" is the best series of books I've read in a while. You need to fire up that Nook of yours and start reading them.

The books all take place in Sweden and are basically crime novels. GREAT READING!

I've thought about it...all 3 of them are pretty prominently placed on the storefront. I just have an aversion to anything that gets wildly popular like that. Take Dan Brown, for instance. I've read all his books, but the only one that was actually worth reading was Da Vinci Code. The rest were average or downright crap. I only bought The Lost Symbol because it was on sale for $3. I'm not sure it was worth it.

Steig Larson wrote all three before his death, and none were published until after he died. There was no pressure put on him by the publishing company to crank out another novel. The story carries over through all three books unlike Dan browns books that use the same character but don't connect the plots. (well at least a few of his books use the same character.)

DALE Brown writes some pretty fantastic military fiction I think you would like.
