Tilda Swinton’s excellent movie “We Need to Talk About Kevin” brought up the infrequently mentioned subject of child psychopaths and reminded many people of the 1956 movie “The Bad Seed” which was extraordinary for it’s time. Patty McCormack made an indelible impression playing polite but demonic 10 year old Rhoda in “The Bad Seed.” She’s still around and was seen fondling semiprecious stones at Crystalarium on Melrose Avenue. Currently, Patty often guests on TV series like “NYPD Blue” or “Grey’s Anatomy” and starred as Pat Nixon in the Nixon/Frost movie in 2008.

EZRA MILLER: THE NEXT BIG THING – AND HE’S NO JUSTIN BIEBER
Filed Under: Ezra Miller > Justin Bieber > We Need to Talk About Kevin
Teen girls not interested in the Justin Bieber type will be thrilled to discover the sly, handsome star of “We Need To Talk About Kevin.” (Too bad very few teens will probably see this indie film.) Ezra Miller, 19, is gripping and unsettling as the psychopathic Kevin – he’s pale and goth, with a sinister edge. He’s so convincing in this movie when he torments Tilda Swinton, that his real mother sobbed when she saw the film. And he’s a musician – Ezra is drummer in the New York based band Sons of an Illustrious Father.
