The Lovely Bones. I highly recommend it. It was very disturbing and uplifting. Also great special effects. I won't spoil the story for you though.
Wow. I think this our first disagreement.
The trailer is so awful/great. "My name is Salmon, like the fish" is one of the great dumb lines ever. Also, "Susie's in the in-between, "She's gone.. What if she isn't", and the two "Yooou're the Salmon girl, right?" Every line is amazing. "Why. Won't. You. Listen. To. Him. Because you need, evidence!". I thought the movie would have been equally so stupid that it would be good. It wasn't. It was just dumb and laughable, but not the good kind laughable.
It didn't follow the book, which wasn't great either, but they changed the ending in the movie, and salmon was never in the "in-between" in the book.
Oh well, to each his own.
Watched TYSON last night. It was as equally a documentary about the fall of Tyson as it was a doc on the fall of boxing. There are moments where you almost feel sorry for Iron Mike, then you remember he used to help old ladies with their groceries just to knock them out and steal their purse, jewelry, and groceries.
Also, a tip: If you ever see Mike Tyson in an elevator, don't go in it.
