The Bone Collector

CrimeThrillerDramaMystery

Directed by Phillip Noyce

Lincoln Rhyme was the department's top homicide detective and leading expert in criminal forensics until an injury left him paralyzed, depressed, and incapable of working. But when a gruesome murder in Manhattan leaves detectives baffled, they call on Rhyme to help solve the mystery. Amelia Donaghy, a rookie cop whose quick thinking preserved a gruesome murder scene, is enlisted by Rhyme to be his on-the-scene… From TMDB

    Just finished watching THE BONE COLLECTOR (which was very cheesy and fun). The spark btwn Denzel & Angelina made me think of his role in VIRTUOSITY-- which was meant to end with a kiss, but Denzel refused, thinking a biracial kiss would hurt the film. I wonder if that was the case for TBC, too?

    **The Broken Window by Jeffrey Deaver** Why, because it's the next in the series. I first started reading the series because I enjoyed watching The Bone Collector movie and they are an easy/fun read. **The Stone Monkey** is my favourite so far.

    They are also the only bird known to color itself, turning its feathers red by bathing in water rich with iron oxide. This is likely so they can claim to be well red. (pause for laughter) They are also the inspiration behind the hit 1999 film “The Bone Collector.” At least I assume. Never saw it.

    Look, I know who I heard talking to the girls in the flashbacks before they were killed, but I also know a movie like this isn't above faking such a thing to throw people off the trail (See Michael Rooker in the mask in The Bone Collector and in the end NOT the big bad!). #FrightClub

    I don't have any recommendations for books on focus/self help etc but some general advice would be to think of a topic that interests you in other aspects of life and find books about that. Also physically move yourself and electronic devices away from each other if that is having negative effects. In my case I started reading books that were adapted from movies/TV and video games. Stuff like Metro 2033, The Expanse, The Martian, Silo, Jack Reacher, The Bone Collector were what started me off.…

    I double checked because I didn't want to commit the sin of confusing Sam Jackson and Morgan Freeman. I sometimes confuse Kiss the Girls with The Bone Collector and it's weird you could conceivably have a "white girl+black detective"-themed thriller movie night.

    #WeeknightWriters Lincoln Rhyme from Jeffrey Deaver's books such as THE BONE COLLECTOR. Denzel Washington played him in the movie. Rhyme is a quadriplegic forensic criminalist. Jeffery Deaver is very good. Anyone here ever see TRACKER, the TV show? Colter Shaw main char. Also by Deaver. Good stuff!

    I saw the above ending when the film came out originally in Europe, only later did I find out that there was a soft nonsensical ending (also reminded me of the Bone Collector which also had 2 endings). They just need to tell the best story that the Director wanted.

    Some really good in 1999, 2000, 2001, but started going downhill in 2002 when studios were trying to protect profits. Never been the same since. Doubt a Frequency or Stigmata kind of movie could be made today, let alone something more like Requiem For A Dream or even The Bone Collector.

    The Lincoln Rhyme novels are about a criminalist who was paralyzed, but who still consults with the NYPD on urgent cases. They can get a little dense with the CSI stuff, but, like I said, Deaver can write a thriller. (Rhyme is the basis for The Bone Collector movie.)
