I love Patterson's Alex Cross books, no doubt. Even more because I see Morgan Freeman in my mind's eye when I hear the
name Alex Cross. Can't help it folks, I adore Morgan Freeman, Morgan Freeman's
Voice, I even appreciate his attitudes as a man although I don't always agree
with them - he doesn't need my agreement of course. Alex and Kate, I liked them as a couple, even if it was more of an
implied thing, it worked for me. Put the two of them, Morgan and Ashley, in a
movie together and I'll watch it, even if it's not Alex Cross ;). Yep, I
watched High Crimes and I enjoyed it
too. And I like Ashley Judd, not only because she's a Kentucky girl, not only
because she's so typically crazy about basketball (nearly all Kentuckians are
crazy about the Cats, that's a given), not only because she's sailed her own
ship away from the music that her mother and sister do so well. I like Ashley
because she's real. Warts and all. As it should be. Alex and Kate. One of my
favorite movie couples.
