If you've been hearing others talk excitedly about director David Fincher's (Fight Club, The Social Network) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo adaptation and you want to join in on the conversation but you're too embarrassed to admit that you've never read the books by the late Stieg Larsson or watched the Swedish movie adaptation by director Niels Oplev, then we've found just the thing to help get you up to speed.
