Someone told me that the Indian actor who was a star of the movie I saw last week--"The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" is also in "Slumdog." I'm eager to watch his career.<br /><br />Peace.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612299013780771262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-61912824792840051412012-06-08T13:27:39.701-04:002012-06-08T13:27:39.701-04:00Thanks for these detailed reviews.

Great observation about the first person narrative. I would not have thought of that, probably. I never thought of Bradley Cooper as eye candy. He has never done anything for me. Maybe he would as an actor in a more serious role.Ingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924736131382149056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-32312142312334919112012-06-08T12:40:48.363-04:002012-06-08T12:40:48.363-04:00Like the poem and the rhyme.

I haven't seen Kevin, but it's in my Netflix queue. Luckily I am not usually bothered by creepy movies. I find most horror movies (like the slasher or some animal or giant insect leaping out at you) boring, to be honest. If I am going to watch any kind of thriller I like it to have a good plot and prefer the psychological, twisted ones--LOL! I just watched Murderous Intent (2006)--speaking of twisted--LOL! Kind of the meeting of two young psychopaths--and it was okay. The plot was a bit convoluted, but the acting was good. Definitely had a creep factor. ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-25900284238146336932012-06-08T10:43:26.330-04:002012-06-08T10:43:26.330-04:00I borrowed the Kevin movie so I could watch it.

I didn't think it would be as good as the book was and it wasn't, because it dealt with the narrative completely differently, but it was still completely gripping, I agree.
