The Lovely Bones
Do you believe in ghosts and fate? It’s "Without a Trace" meets "Ghost" meets "America’s Most Wanted" as director Peter Jackson tells a story seen through the eyes of a dead girl caught between heaven and earth. In a time before missing children’s faces were put on milk cartons and when people still used rotary phones, we follow the grief of a family’s loss and witness a portrait of a serial killer. Stanley Tucci is exquisite as the creepy wolf in sheep’s clothing. This sad story is keeps you interested because you don’t quite know which way it is going to go. It is basically a murder mystery that’s told unconventionally, creatively, and surreally. By the end, you may be a believer.
Alien gives it 3 "skeevy good" stars out of 4.
