Prometheus
The current trend of sequels, prequels, reboots, and other films that capitalize (and exploit) franchises continues. While some films have failed miserably, such as Battleship and Alice in Wonderland, there are some films that have fared well such as The Muppets and Men In Black 3.

The Girl Who Played with Fire
With many of the same themes and motifs, The Girl Who Played with Fire is the second part of the Millennium Trilogy, a best-selling series of Swedish novels by the late author Stieg Larsson. Three of completed and published novels in the trilogy were released in Sweden in 2009, and released internationally in 2010. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was a darling earlier in the year, lauded as one of the best of the year by some.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
This Thriller/Mystery is well-produced and graphic. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo has a strong feminist statement that is efficiently told in a mystery thriller. Without hammering the statement into you, this film offers a creepy aura thanks to expressionistic scenery and strong sexual imagery. The strong and vulnerable protagonists are unusually easy to cheer for.
