The Lovely Bones [2009]

I felt so depressed after watching this movie.  It is so sad!  I also felt frustrated because I don't find any justice in it.  How come the bad person can escape the law and justice.  Sure, karma will get him but I felt the pain of the family who lost.  Despite all those, there is an optimistism in the persona.  Although she is dead but she didn't hold any hatred about life and wishing her family will move on, be safe and happy.  It is true in the end all of us have to die.  It is just a matter of sooner or later.

The Lovely Bones directed by Peter Jackson tells a story about a 14-year-old girl from suburban Pennsylvania who is murdered by her neighbor. She tells the story from Heaven, showing the lives of the people around her and how they have changed all while attempting to get someone to find her lost body.

Avatar [2009]

One of the greatest film I have watched.  Love the graphics as well as the storyline.  It is best to watch on 3D.  Thumbs up for James Cameron!!

When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand - and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.
