The Lovely Bones - December 2009

I didn't like this movie too much, the previews interested me but the special effects and the actual movie could have been alot better. Its one of those movies that if you do a dose of acid and sit back and veg out it would be a great movie lol i swear with all the swirling colors I think that's what they were on when they made the movie! It made it very difficult to follow and its a shame because I liked the plot line and it had so much potential.

Suzy Salmon (Saoirse Ronan) is a little girl about 14 or 15 who is molested and murdered by her neighbor who built an underground club house and lured her into it. She goes to heaven or actually a between place not quite heaven from where she can see her family and watch whats going on. Years pass and the killer is dormant. Then the urge gets on him again and he needs to do it again. Suzy's sister, Lindsey, who was a young'un when Suzy was murdered, has grown up to a beautiful young teenager. The killer begins to plot to her next but she suspects and does some sleuth work finding out who it is. Can she expose him before he kills her too? Mark Walberg from Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch plays her father Jack and Rachel Weisz plays her mother Abigail who was completely emotionally destroyed by the loss of her daughter and never fully recovered.

The end was disappointing and had me actually shaking my husband and yelling "thats not the way a movie is supposed to end?!" lol
