The Lovely Bones (Spoiler alert!)

It's going to be short and quick...

Now I understand what the title means... Yikes!

You have to forgive me I don't read about the movies I go to. It's usually me asking Allie what the movie is about in the car on the way to it. So yeah, I saw the preview, I knew the girl was killed by a predator and was living in the "in between" until...she was ready to... you know ...commit... to heaven...I guessed.

I came out of the movie aching to squeeze my daughters. I almost woke them up when I got home stumbling into their bedrooms.

What a disturbing movie! That poor little girl, once she got into that hole, there was nothing to save her.

(Having lost a dear friend of mine by the hands of a murderer to then lose our old beloved Jack Russell recently. Maybe it wasn't the best choice of movie for me.) It touched me to the core and scared me a little. Life is so short.

Strangely enough the only time I cried was when she kissed the boy. Go figure.

And the time I felt sick to my stomach the most is when Suzie named all the children who were killed by that man.

I loved Mark Walhberg even though it was hard for me to take him seriously at times. (If you'd watch SNL regularly, you'd understand Allie.)

Even though Mr Harvey was scary, (camera angle and make up in my opinion) I don't think Stanley Tucci deserves an Oscar nomination. His make up and hair piece was too obviously fake. He didn't do much besides staring out of his windows and walk around his house or passing by in his car.

My favorite character was Suzie, so soft and sweet. Typical young tween. Her big blue eyes. Not too Hollywood pretty, I really got into her character and fell her pain.

Oh and something else. I wanted to see Mr Harvey suffer more in the end.

I wanted that smoking girl to push him over.

Now back to the book I'm reading :"My life in France" from Julia Child" Waaay lighter.

Comedy next week? Allie?

Don't mind my grammar please. English is my second language.
