THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE (R) [in SWEDISH with subtitles] 129 min 6:00 and 8:30
The second installment of the late Stieg Larsson's Millenium trilogy, now directed by Daniel Alfredson from a screenplay by Jonas Frykberg, again features the damaged punk hacker Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) and the serious investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist). He is on the verge of exposing a sex-trafficking operation implicating highly-placed Swedish politicians, when two of his reporters are murdered. The police's main suspect is his friend Lisbeth. Convinced of her innocence, his attempts to exonerate her reveal her abusive past. It is an intriguing and compelling thriller that advances the story toward the final installment to be released this fall.

Actress and screenwriter Emma Thompson reprises her role of the endearingly odd and magical nanny in her hilarious and heartwarming sequel to the wonderful first film. This time round, she appears at the door of a harried young mother of three (Maggie Gyllenhaal) who is trying to run the family farm while her husband is away at war. When she arrives, Nanny McPhee discovers the children are waging their own war against their two spoiled cousins from the city who have been sent to the farm for the summer. In her own inimitable way, she dispenses her life lessons, until the time when the children want her but no longer need her, at which point her job is done.

Alejandro Amenábar (The Sea Inside) explores the disparity between religious intolerance and diversity in this mesmerizing historical drama set in 4th century Alexandria, Egypt. In the city's famous library, the brilliant female astronomer Hypatia (Rachel Weisz) teaches an elite class of students. When religious upheaval between the Roman Pagans and the early, militant Christians threatens this repository of the ancient world's wisdom, she and her disciples fight to save it. Her helpers include two men competing for her heart. Orestes, a witty and privileged student, serves the Roman's while Davos, Hypatia's slave, is torn between his secret love and the freedom he knows is his if he chooses to join the Christian surge.
