The Lovely Bones on DVD

The Lovely Bones: The whole is suppose to be greater than the sum of its parts, however that is not the case with Peter Jackson's latest film. Based on the novel by Alice Seabold the story is told from the point of view of a 14 year old girl who is murdered. Susie Salmon is currently in the "in between", a mystical place where her soul rests before she can leave her past life and enter her next. The novel tackles many issues and I actually found it a bit scrambled. Unfortunately the film did not correct this, it magnified it. This is a shame because the movie actually has a couple of brilliant scenes that are filled with emotion. For a few moments, I thought I was watching a masterpiece, but as all the scenes added up - the result was average at best.

Slight - "Pick It Up"
