The overhead shot of a football stadium that many may think of as Durham, North Carolina is actually Chapel Hill, NC. The football stadium you see is Kenan Stadium, home of The University of North Carolina Tar Heels. What makes this even more recognizable is just North of the stadium is the famed Bell Tower and Wilson Library dome. The next shot you see is the Duke Chapel Tower on the campus of Duke University in Durham.

KISS THE GIRLS is a textbook example of how to ruin a good story. Gary Fleder (THINGS TO DO IN DENVER WHEN YOU'RE DEAD) directs this torturously sanitized adaptation of James Patterson's bestseller about a D.C. forensic psychologist (Morgan Freeman) who comes to Durham, North Carolina, after his Duke-attending niece goes up missing. Turns out that the D.P.D. (and the F.B.I.) have been sitting on a series of kidnappings and murders, of college girls from all around the area. What Freeman's character surmises is that "Casanova," as he calls himself, is actually a collector who's keeping these young women alive for various sundry, sordid purposes. (And of which the graphic details are nearly entirely omitted. With the exception of a wee bit of gore, the creepiest images in this movie are safe enough to be shown on the Disney channel.) Before long, Freeman's character has a partner-in- crime-control, a medical student (Ashley Judd) who escapes from the kidnapper-killer's underground lair with an assist from some convenient kick-boxing skills. An older black man as an action hero? A slasher victim who fights back?? And the barest whiff of a romance between the two??? Admittedly, this is non-standard fare for Hollywood, which makes the movie's many, many failures all the more regrettable.
