...short stories of Tim Winton's The Turning (Picador; 317 pages). In this trailer park of a collection, characters move from the suburbs to the coast and back again, serial sea-changers in a state of transcontinental drift. There's caravan dweller Raelene, beaten senseless by her craypot-lugger husband, who looks for God between the bruises (The Turning). And teen tomboy Agnes, who spends her evenings wading the shallows for catfish after her drunken father is laid off from the local meatworks (Cockleshell).

The public has heard a great deal about the recent murders of Laci Peterson, Lori Hacking, and their unborn children; Scott Peterson is currently being tried on two counts of murder, and Mark Hacking has already confessed to killing his wife...

And even though the picture looked great in full-screen mode on my 17in. monitor, with none of the jerkiness that sometimes plagues online video streams, I had my feet propped up on a printer, and my husband had to stand behind me to see Stiller strut his stuff. Not what I had in mind for movie night...
