Could it be the hair? To be sure, the titular protagonist of “The Girl in the Spider’s Web: A New Dragon Tattoo Story” has changed her look dramatically since 2011’s “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.” There, she sported an asymmetrical, homemade-looking punk-rock mop and several scary facial piercings. Here, she looks like a medieval monk who time-traveled to the West Village: hip, but just this side of severe. One other thing: The character in the new film is played by Claire Foy. The other one was played by Rooney Mara. And yet there are more changes than meet the eye in this second American film based on the endearingly damaged, avenging-computer-hacker character created by the late Swedish writer Stieg Larsson.

The sentence was later quashed and the case has been referred to the Attorney General.Labour MPs make up the bulk of the letter’s 55 signatories, including frontbenchers Valerie Vaz and Gloria de Piero as well as former … [Read more...] about US Secretary urged to block Tommy Robinson speaking tour
