jacobworld She dies. Happy ending tho. Very good up until the point where Mr Harvey tragically gets caught by the sister. The sister then becomes a snake and then tells on him to the police. Sister is a snitch and snitches get stitches. Mr Harvey's a quality bloke who undeservedly is painted as the villain and dies of ice in head and falling off a mountain. Absolute legend. Top notch film. Where's the sequel at?

jtindahouse About five or so years ago I had a go at reading 'The Lovely Bones'. I got about halfway through and decided it just wasn't for me. I like more of a mystery thriller than a book where everything is on the surface and it's more about dealing with the situation. I could see why people were so fond of it though. It was compelling and original. For some reason it's taken me this long to get around to seeing the movie. As a movie, I really enjoyed it. My gripes with it come from a logical point of view. Allow me to explain.My problem with the concept comes from the fact that the film very clearly puts forward that there is a God. Now that's all well and fine, after all thousands of films have done that over the years. Where my problem lies is that the movie demands there is a God, but also says he is willing to sit dormant while a child murderer/rapist leads a great life. I probably could have gotten past this gripe with the film if it wasn't for a scene near the end that really bothered me. It's during the death of said murderer/rapist. We see an icicle hanging from a tree, and as if a Devine intervention had come to be, a lightning bolt of sorts hits it and drops it on him forcing him to fall brutally off a cliff. The lightning bolt I speak of is the single worst part of this film. It implies that a higher power had the ability to do something all along and chose not to. I didn't like that at all.That aside, the rest of the film I quite enjoyed. I understand that they left a lot of things out from the book to make it more teenage friendly, and to me that was a shame, because the film could have been something great with those in it I suspect. Still, the film decided what it was and stuck to it, so fair play. There's some thought-provoking dialogue and it is a film that will stick with you after the credits roll. Life is a fragile and precious thing, and that fact can easily be forgotten. Film's like this remind you that life is short and needs to be cherished. Any film that does that is worth watching in my opinion.

lorcan-61881 The Lovely Bones is the 2009 drama starring Saoirse Ronan as 14 year old Suzie who sadly passes away in the Winter of 1973 as she is murdered by her evil neighbour, played by Stanley Tucci as she watches over her family, friends and killer in Heaven. I love The Lovely Bones so much for so many reasons, I love how magical it is and so bright and happy, the film is so entertaining and the acting is incredible by Saoirse Ronan, Stanley Tucci and Mark Whalberg, if that's how ya spell his name. At the moment, I'm actually reading the novel and I haft to say, I like the film more though! The Lovely Bones is a magical and beautifully constructed masterpiece!

ssolawetz-shopping I never understood why this movie didn't make more money or get better reviews. This is one of my absolute favorite movies, have watched it at least 10 times. Every girl between the age of 12 and 17 should watch this movie. It teaches a lot of lessons about what can happen when you trust strangers.The movie was suspenseful and very well done. Peter Jackson's films, in my mind, are always brilliant, and this one is no exception. This one is even more exceptional because it will teach teenagers what can happen if they find themselves alone with an adult they don't know. I think many of the reviews about this movie miss this point.Tons of suspense in this movie, and if you want to take a trip back in time to the 1970's this movie will resonate with you. And I love the fact that her father won't stop until he finds his daughter's killer.
