We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011)
The mother of a teenage boy who went on a high-school killing spree tries to deal with her grief - and feelings of responsibility for her child’s actions.
Based on the novel by Lionel Shriver.
“Why would I not understand the context? I am the context.”
How to create a monster. A tremendous family drama, centered on maternal love and self destruction.
An absolutely engaging experience, visually and emotionally.
Tilda Swinton rocked the fuck outta this one! Portraying the frustrated mother who can’t seem to get things right. We see her life slowly sucked away by her antagonist son Kevin. A smart and cunning boy with grand plans.
Blind-as-a-bat husband John C. Reilly flexes his dramatic muscles. Blurring the lines of cause and effect in this suburban tragedy. The voice of reason… or is it?
KEVIN! was well performed and intriguing in all ages. Ezra Miller did a spectacular job as the teen. His eyes and demeanor was frightening and yet a glimmer of light shone through those dark eyes. His younger counterparts Jasper Newell and Rock Duer swung it home. Giving life to the troubled boy.
Jumps between infant, toddler, teen and current times might/may confuse some viewers at first. It will all become clear in the end. Hints and clues lead up to the heartbreaking reality.
The cinematography was be-a-u-ti-fucking-ful! And the script was compelling. The grand finale was one to remember. Depressingly gorgeous and whimsically dramatic.
Tough love.

The Killer Inside Me (2010)
A West Texas deputy sheriff is slowly unmasked as a psychotic killer.
A modern telling of a classic murder story. This was surprising and went beyond what I had expected. There was a crucial scene that grabbed me right away and one thought came to mind “brutal”.
Creepy lookin’ and annoying voiced Casey Affleck stars as the mischievous/malicious deputy. I think he was perfect playing the creepy killer type. Jessica Alba was absolutely georgeous as usual, goddamn! She plays the town whore (I just had to put that out there). Kate Hudson… didn’t look her best in this one… accompanied by an average performance. The film has a pretty good supporting cast and Bill Pullman makes a sleazy appearance as well.
Slow paced and yet captivating ‘til the very end. The end though… may be questionable. But it is a classic tale. Retold by Michael Winterbottom director of 9 Songs (2004) & 24 Hour Party People (2002).
Based on the 1952 novel by noted crime fiction author Jim Thompson.
