The Vicious Kind

This film is good. It's shot in a little town in northwest CT, Norfolk, and I learned about it while staying at the white house in the opening clip of the trailer this summer. My friends Ariadna and Chip held a dinner party there this summer and Grady Cooley, the production designer was in attendance.

He told us about the production of the film and I kept my eyes open for it. The dialogue is what is interesting about this film as it's modern chatter really keeps you guessing about what will happen next. It's unpredictable and fresh with the exceptional leads, Adam Scott as Caleb and Brittany Snow as Emma. Their chemistry is what carries your interest as well as exceptional acting and direction. Sparks seem to fly off these two impressive actors.

Those of you watch HBO may recognize Adam Scott from the one season series, Tell Me You Love Me, but he's much more interesting here. Grady described some of the details of the production and I'm glad that I met him for some of that insider info on what it was like for Scott and Murphy in person. Grady described the space the director, the up and coming Lee Toland Krieger, gave to Snow when she needed to do a masturbation scene and how the obviously helped in the final reaization of the scene.
