This season Bruckheimer tries to go six for six, with an almost frighteningly astute twist on his procedural formula. In Close to Home (Tuesdays, 10 p.m. E.T.), Annabeth Chase (Jennifer Finnigan) is a prosecutor and new mom who works on horrible cases in a leafy suburb. She has just returned from maternity leave--we first see her being awakened by her crying baby--but gets little support from her career-focused co-workers. "You have got to stop making decisions with your hormones," her (female) boss warns her. But her mom status is also an asset to her department, giving...
Most Ludicrously Written Role: Perhaps this year’s tightest race, victory in this category ultimately goes to Annabeth Marcus, the seemingly unimportant wife of Sean Penn’s ex-convict in Mystic River. Laura Linney gives a solid if peripheral performance all the way up to what seems to be the film’s conclusion. But then, in one of the strangest bedroom scenes ever put on film, Linney suddenly undergoes a character transformation so unexpected as to almost totally undermine the rest of the movie.

...scene has begun to heat up. A man named Norm is nuzzling a young woman who calls herself Tricia. Tricia, in turn, is gently biting Brit's neck, while Annabeth flirts in the corner with Chaz. Then Suzi breaks in and asks Norm if he's looking for some real action. As if to test the waters, Norm gives Suzi a passionate kiss. Suzi kisses Norm back, hard. With no further preamble, Norm takes off Suzi's shirt. You can almost feel the temperature in the room start to rise...
Meanwhile, back on the Internet sex channel, the online orgy is winding down. Suzi and Norm have consummated their encounter, and the voyeurs who had gathered to watch have started to drift away. Hoping to rekindle some heat, one bystander tentatively approaches Annabeth and slips his hand under her sweater. But rejection in cyberspace can be uniquely swift and stinging: Annabeth types back that she is snapping off her suitor's sex organ and tossing it over her shoulder. So much for safe romance...
