...uninflected, police-procedural fashion; the movie is like a flatfoot following a suspicious trail with no special intuition but an admirable doggedness. It doesn't hurtle, it ambles. You will find, on the Internet, documentation about the Wineville Chicken Coop matter, and the criminality of then-Mayor George Cryer as a pawn of the Crawford mob, of the L.A.-wide corruption that makes Al Capone's Chicago a shining city on a hill by comparison. Eastwood is after just the facts, ma'am. Weaving all the true-crime elements into a film of multilayered, Chinatown density either doesn't interest...
...police-procedural fashion; the movie is like a flatfoot following a suspicious trail with no special intuition but an admirable doggedness. It doesn't hurtle, it ambles. You will look elsewhere (on the Internet) for documentation about the Wineville Chicken Coop matter, and the criminality of then-Mayor George Cryer as a pawn of the Crawford mob, of the L.A.-wide corruption that makes Al Capone's Chicago a shining city on a hill by comparison.

...Trouble With Normal (ABC, 8:30 p.m.) Sometimes you have to give the makers of a series credit for bringing through the development process an idea so ridiculous you'd think it was an "SNL" parody.

...seems as if popular culture is waking up to the reality of the emotionally responsive male. Willowy, sensitive actors like Tobey Maguire and Topher Grace are looming larger on marquees. For every Charlie Sheen, there's a Jon Cryer. The irony is that boys seem to be the last ones to get the news. "It's like a shared misunderstanding," Giordano says. "One of the boys said that he'd never talk to his friends this way, the way that he talked to the interviewer, because those boys don't have the feelings that...
...huge investment, the VH1 execs quickly decided I couldn't be trusted as the head writer. Or the No. 2 writer. Then they decided, after watching the animated pilot, that I was such a bad actor I couldn't play myself--in a voice-over. So they hired Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men) to play me, which, oddly, we both found insulting. Next they concluded that booking celebrities for interviews was too difficult, so they wrote fake interviews and had actors pretend to be the guests, thereby removing the entire premise of the show. Then they...
