The Lovely Bones

As narcissist Cristine sometimes likes to say, "they totally made this movie for me." But really, this type of movie is so incredibly up my alley it almost hurts.

It's also the closest thing to my all-time favorite and life-changing 2 1/2 hours, What Dreams May Come. They hit on the whole communication between dead and living thing, which always thrilled me. Not to mention the inspiring heaven visuals that make me wonder what's really up there. Yea, movies are generally made to be entertaining, but once in a while you see one that actually gets to you. For me, it's What Dreams May Come and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Dare I say that this comes close?

In my old age (hehe) I'm becoming less tolerant toward overdone Hollywood-type movies and appreciate the art and creativity behind movies such as this. I just love when a movie actually makes you feel the "it" factor. You know, how it kind of "puts you there" to feel death, heaven, and of course the part that interests me the most - communication with he who has passed over.

Great movie. Best I've seen since Eternal Sunshine.
