...providing the masses with everything from movies, music and television shows to theme parks and tacky gifts, Universal Studios has indicated a return to its film production roots with the re-release of Orson Welles' Touch of Evil.

Mostly the debut was banal, if often profane, as Whoopi Goldberg pontificated about Monica Lewinsky and Roseanne interviewed a tiresome Linda Tripp impersonator. But Roseanne and Goldberg's conversation with three teenage mothers was surprisingly simple and affecting. Roseanne's emotions are not polished to an Oprah-like smoothness, and she can be appealingly authentic, in her rare quieter moments...
