lovely bones

<< < (2/3) > >>

DaOld Man:
I bought an old paper back book at a used store years ago, loaned it to someone and never got it back.
It was called "Bones", I cant remember the author though, and a search of it on google didnt turn up anything.
I dont know how old it was when I bought it 15-18 years ago.
Anyway, this is a story about a serial killer who kidnaps young boys, tortures them to death, then stores their bodies in plastic bags in his basement. It was surprisingly a pretty good story.
I was wondering if this book inspired the movie?
I guess I need to go see it, so please no spoilers!

Ginsu Victim:
This movie is based on the novel "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold (which is nothing like the book you described)

Dartful Dodger:
I can no longer trust Danny's movie ranking.


My gf read the book and wanted to see it, I figured if Danny gave it a 5 it can't be that bad.  ...it was.

Even my gf didn't like it, she was also lucky enough to fall asleep through it.

You know how sometimes you watch a based on a book movie with a friend who read the book you occasionally have to ask, what something means or how a scene unfolded in the book.  There were a few things that weren't really explained in the movie, girl who saw the ghost, brother who thinks he sees her ghost, all the pointless montages in the afterlife.  But I figured the answers would be as painful as the question so I didn't ask.

I spent two hours waiting to see this guy suffer a painful death and the women he killed saw him getting dragged to hell.

Nope, he escapes the law, and after the family learns to let go of their daughter, or was she the one holding on to them? ...Oh wait, that’s right, WHO CARES!  they cut back to the bad guy and he loses his balance and falls off a cliff and dies.

The End.


I hope I've saved at least one person from renting this piece of crap.

nah but you saved me from reading the rest of the book that I was 3/4th the way through. Thanks for the spoiler warning.

My gf told me about the book's ending, it’s much better.

If you end up renting this POS and after 1/4 into it you start thinking to yourself this is a POS I just want to see the happy ending(and you're a straight male), turn off the movie and read the last 3/4 of the book.
