Steig Larsson’s amazing crime thriller is remade in English. Rooney Mara stars as a mysterious hacker who is hired by disgraced journalist played by Daniel Craig who has been hired to solve a 40 year old murder.

They’ll also give their take on ‘A Very English Scandal’ (has Hugh Grant impressed?), First Dates and 4 Men, 175 Babies – The UK’s Super Sperm Donors. You know you want to hear what they think about that.
Everyone’s talking about… Matt Le Blanc leaving Top Gear
After two years and 4 series of the reboot, Matt Le Blanc is leaving Top Gear in order to spend more time with his family and friends. The actor who is a well known petrol head is based in the US and said that the long amount of time spent filming in the UK was taking him away from his family for more time than he liked.
It’s unfortunate, but for these reasons I will not be continuing my involvement with the show. I will forever be a Top Gear fan and I wish the team continued success. Thanks for a great drive.”
