The Lovely Bones

Interesting that id read that certain elements of the book were removed from this to ensure a PG13 rating. It feels like its a film for teenage girl and whilst there's nothing fundamentally wrong with that (ie aiming movies at teenage girls), the source material for this deserved better. There are two specific scenes that don't belong in this film at all.

Not good.
"What should have been an enjoyable 90 minutes of nubile, high-school flesh meeting a frenzy of blood-caked blades, becomes instead an exploitational and complex parable of the conflicting demands of agrarianism and artistry. I voted a miss."

The Untouchables

It was definitely enjoyable but some scenes, like the stair scene (Potemkin tribute?), felt too contrived. Wasn't that impressed by the acting either.

The Lovely Bones

Really awful. It is ugly, and tonally it's all over the place. Stanley Tucci and Saoirse Ronan are pretty good. Her bright blue eyes are the only pretty thing in the whole movie. It seems like they had no idea what kind of movie they wanted to make.

Grade: D

There was similar material in Heavenly Creatures, and it was beautiful and appropriate.  What Happened?!?

I think that's The Lovely Bones (when Susie's in "heaven" or whatever it is)

My post wasn't so much a review as a comment on Carly's Lovely Bones review.

I haven't heard a single positive review of The Lovely Bones. Strangely I'm now more interested in seeing it.
