...Slovenly, with long, stringy hair, and weirdly resembling the adult film star Ron Jeremy, Crowe disappears rather ostentatiously into the role; he's like a hedgehog trying to hide behind a Ping Pong ball.

The showy role - of a public-relations creep named Dominic Foy, a friend of the murdered woman and a pusher of questionable corporate agendas - goes to Jason Bateman.

Sometimes parents hide a piece of matzo - called the afikoman - and reward children with money or gifts if they find it. But when the eight days of Passover are over, it's back to the world of starchy carbohydrates...
...patrolled by "shepherds" who keep track of individual pages in their areas of expertise. Like Wikipedia, articles are created instantly - a page on the Mumbai terrorism attack last November was up within minutes of the news breaking - but authorship must be clear; there are no user names to hide behind.
