another book turned novel
I am a big fan of the Department Q novels by Jussi Adler-Olsen. Tonight I got to watch the movie made from the first book in the series, The Keeper of Lost Causes. It's in Danish, but you can get it subtitled in English.
It's great! Fares Fares plays Assad, the miracle of an assistant, and looks exactly like the Assad in my imagination! While I didn't ever think of the lead character as hot, the actor who plays him makes that work.
The acting is good, and somehow these foreign movies seem to not mess with the stories so much. I give it two thumbs up AND a fist bump.
Also, if you like Scandinavian thrillers and haven't tried Adler-Olsen, get on it.

Also, the Canadian language is called Hockey.
I already knew Hockey. I live in MN, remember.
Don't even get me started on "Red Wings". To name a team after a messy sex act. . .
