...rural South, where nearly every-one--at least in popular fiction--is either ruttin' randy or picturesquely deranged. Annie can't do a good deed without getting whacked around by Donnie, the inbred ingrate. When she complains to a cop about him, the cop offers this blithe appraisal: "He's high-strung." No more so than the script, by Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Epperson; it is given to violent outbursts amid its sullen patches, and plot twists that don't strain plausibility so much as ignore...
...CORNER (HBO). The addicts and pushers in this miniseries would have been anonymous, two-dimensional perps and problems on a cop drama, but here they swelled to life fully realized and unromanticized. Khandi Alexander gave TV's performance of the year...

Sperber, 60, figures he had better take two self-defense courses recommended by the cop, including "Verbal Judo," which is designed to help de-escalate potential violence. When he returns to teaching in January, after sitting out a semester to avoid having his teeth knocked out, his name will not appear on course listings. For his own protection, he'll be Professor Incognito...
...count, the Court gives David Boies exactly the hand count he never wanted. (If there are any holdouts, it'll be a Ginsburg or a Breyer, unable to bring themselves to say an unkind word about the Florida Supremes.) Rehnquist, with Scalia playing bad cop, will herd the Justices to their left into remanding the case back to the Florida court - with very specific instructions. Counting all the undervotes, Broward and Volusia and the Miami-Dade 20 percent. And Palm Beach too, just to be thorough...
