Lovely Bones

FINALLY... the movie I've awaited for years... at last has found its way to the shores of this country...

Look at those piercing blue eyes. 

It could be contacts afterall.. 

This little pulled off her role as Susie the dead-woman walking really well...

Here comes Susie's mummy...

Rachel Weiz!!!

Always enjoyed her performances... and when I got to know she was  playing the mum.. I was even keener to watch the movie than before.. well.. she was OK here.. most of the air-time was dedicated to Susie..

so you don't really get to see her much.. cue for guys to go *awwww.

Mark Walberg

Some of the other familiar faces...

This GUY!

First time I saw him on screen, he was playing a gay fashionista in Devil Wears Prada.. now he's a serial killer...He really deserved that Oscar nomination for his performance here. Though I had flashes of him as the fashionista occasionally during the movie =P

Anyway back to the movie.. The graphics were good.. everything was as abstract as the book.... 

tons of beautiful footages of landscapes..

BUT.. and a very big one.. my mind started zoning off to my very own world as colourful scenes pass before my eyes.. Knowing the story at heart and watching it in a somewhat different perspective.. it was quite a torture lar honestly.. 

The story was meant to be dark and actually a lil more interesting than the movie itself?.but the director's intepretation made it rather chirpish.. and a lil too colourful at parts?

It was also more in depth.. but yea.. i guess as usual, you can't really translate each detail precisely from a book to a movie.. Despite the great cast and awesome CGIs, I didn't really enjoy it much.. Maybe next time, i should just watch the movie first then read the book or totally just scrape off the idea of watching a movie after reading a book... if i can tahan lar. =P

PS.  Her crush was supposed to be cuter in my imagination!!! pftt.
