FOUND LIABLE. ROBERT BLAKE, 72, irascible TV actor of Baretta fame; in the wrongful-death civil suit filed by relatives of his wife Bonny Lee Bakley, 44, who in 2001 was shot to death outside a restaurant in Studio City, Calif.; eight months after being acquitted of murder charges in a criminal trial; by a jury in Burbank, Calif. Blake was ordered to pay Bakley's four children $30 million...
...Daniel Radcliffe is coming along nicely as the young hero, though it?s up for grabs whether the teen actor will have the chest hair to face the horrors in store for Harry.

...Hara. Witherspoon has been a bit remiss in her movie choices as of late (“Just Like Heaven”), but, in this film, she returns to the acting promise seen in 1999’s “Election.” Neither actor looks much like the person they portray, but their interpretations are good enough to make up for this minor flaw. They slip easily into the roles, picking up mannerisms and life truths so simply that it is impossible to avoid falling under the story’s spell. Even their renditions...
