#287: The Lovely Bones / Top 5 Supporting Performances of 2009

All of us here at Filmspotting send our thoughts and prayers out to the country of Haiti and everyone affected by Tuesday's terrible tragedy. We encourage everyone in Filmspotting Nation to give what they can to aid in the relief effort there. In fact, if you were planning on rushing to the multiplex to see Peter Jackson's new film "The Lovely Bones," welllll... why not listen to Adam and Matty's discussion of the film on this week's episode and you just might, perhaps, be moved to use that ten dollars you would have spent on a ticket for a more humanitarian cause. Just sayin'. Also civility manages to reign as the lads delve into a healthy batch of Listener Feedback of their earlier dispatch on "Avatar"... and they continue to close out 2009 (otherwise known as the campaign to mention "Inglourious Basterds" as much as possible) with their Top 5 Supporting Performances of 2009. 

Also on the show: Music by Slimfit and Massacre Theatre -- presented by Pixar Talk. This week's winner will get the Pixar DVD of their choice.
