...Aniston's too lightweight an actor for anything more. Kate superficially faces the same sort of work vs. love conflict as Michelle Pfeiffer's character in "One Fine Day." But here the conflict just doesn't seem particularly important or convincing; and her parallel moment of epiphany and instant morality again feels scripted.

...Versace walked down the street in Miami Beach, he had every reason to think he had created the world.

Several rural communities even hold contests for "sport shooters," who find the animals stimulating targets because varmint-hunting cartridges disintegrate on impact, causing the dogs to explode into "red mist," a cloud of blood and vaporized rodent parts that offers hunters IVG, or instant visual gratification...
