The first one is acceptable. A bit slow to get moving and kind of sluggish in its pacing, but otherwise a good action flick with an amusing twist.
Incidental question for heretics of the Anglican variety: Does the King James Bible contain the so-called Apochryphal books, like Maccabees and the rest? If not, that makes the whole Mcguffin of the story even more amusing.
The second movie, The Lovely Bones is a diabolical TRAP!! Stay away unless someone who knows you very well tells you you'd like it (and only if you trust them not to dick you around)!! It is NOT, as the previews would have you believe, a murder-mystery or supernatural suspense film. It is an incoherent piece of tripe that makes Patrick Swayze's "Ghost" look like a Bruckheimer action fest!
Think of the part in Return of the King where Frodo awakes in Rivendell and his friends come in, and the lighting is over-bright and things are slowed down....for TWO HOURS. LotR is the ABERRATION of Peter Jackson's career.

You voluntarily went to see a Peter Jackson film?

Sounds like the Lovely Bones is faithful to the book, then. Which as Aisha says was great.

I can't imagine Jackson being physically able to make a bad movie
