Systematic Chaos

Today went to cinema with my lovely daughter Chloe, her friend Bree and even her brother tagged along to see The Lovely Bones.The story was well structured and easy enough to follow,and the acting excellent. Saoirse Ronan who played Susie Salmon,the 14 year old girl who was murdered played her part brilliantly,as did Mark Wahlberg as her grieving father, hell bent on finding out who her killer is. The killer played by Stanley Tucci was equally convincing as Susie's killer,and easy to loathe as a result!! Along with breathtaking scenery, imaginative landscapes and emotional poignancy the movie had me at least glued from start to finish.At just over 2 hours length, at no time did I feel compelled to wish the movie finished already!!! And the kids, while as normal non-committal on a verdict, not once interrupted the viewing with bored groans or sighs and the like. A beautiful movie-must see :)
