Peter Jackson took on more than he might have bargained for with the film adaptation of The Lovely Bones. The film is constantly walking the line between disturbing and beautiful, and overall it is a success, just not the full success that it had the potential to be. There is no debating that this is one of beautiful films that you’ll see all year, with phenomenal performances across the board. It is filled to the brim with many wonderful qualities that carry you along throughout the film, and it’s great to see Jackson taking a risk on such a tricky novel. Sadly, as much as I wanted to love the film, I didn’t, at least not as much as I hoped I would.
Lets take a look at what what right and what went not so right…

Recently, Tim Robbins, Saoirse Ronan, and Bill Murray came together in New York to talk about their new film City of Ember directed by Gil Kenan, which will be in theaters October 10th. Tim, Saoirse, and Bill all joked around with one another and seemed to have a lot of respect for one another. Everyone seemed to want Tim to answer the political-types questions to which he answered,”I’m not takin’ that one. I always took that one.” The new commer (if you can still call her that) Saoirse Ronan, seemed to hold her own among the two film legends and even challenge them at times. At one point she tells Tim he can’t be in the sequel and when Bill says, I’m “boring you to tears” she says “yeah.” Bill Murray was extremely charming and sharp witted as he spoke about City of Ember as well as settling some rumors on the new Ghostbusters.
