Regarding BrianSez’s Review
An understandable rating Bri. This is a movie that can hit reasonable reviewers differently, as the three ratings of Perfect down to OK indicate.

Nope, don’t think I’m gonna see Lovely Bones. However, that means you’ll have a clear shot to declare the WikPik take on it…

High on my In Theater list now is Up In The Air, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Brothers. Saw Invictus last night. Should have my review up by tomorrow.

Regarding Wick’s Review
Ah, no worries. I respect everyone’s opinion(unless I see something horrible like someone giving Transformers a 5 Perfect and Dark Knight only a 4 Great). I just loved this movie ’cause of the brilliant performances, the dialogue, and the way it brought the book to the screen.

BTW Are you planning to see the Lovely Bones? I need to know if its worth it cuz I’m hearing mixed reviews.
