The Lovely Bones (2009) Normally I avoid saccharine sweet slopfests like this but it was directed by Peter Jackson so had to check it out. There's plenty of panoramic vistas redolent of his Lord of the rings films plus an exquisite score featuring cocteau twins, explosions in the sky and this mortal coil. However film4 warned at the start that the movie contained "chilling violence" so I was expecting that and there was absolutely none so thank you film4 for ruining the movie as I can't be objective about it now as I may have enjoyed it more had I not been expecting "chilling violence". Either way it was still messy unoriginal and pretentious (quoting Shakespere isn't intelligent it's lazy and BONE idle) despite it's plus points. Watch the far superior Enter The Void instead.
