...supposed to have killed her ex-lover, is allowed to act as one of her attorneys at the murder trial. Finally, the real murderer forces Kelly and the artist to bang noisily on a sculpture while dozens of guests attend a stately memorial service in an adjacent room. Ivan Reitman is the coarsest and canniest of directors; Meatballs, Stripes and Ghostbusters had no subtlety or style, but all profitably exploited Bill Murray's goofy hipness.

...Chicago Cubs, and Edgar Renteria, long one of the most solid offensive shortstops in baseball (though his defense has declined). Magglio Ordonez, the '07 AL batting champ, and the always dangerous Gary Sheffield return from last year. How good is this lineup? Jones will bat ninth, and catcher Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez, a probable future Hall of Famer, will bat eighth. One burning question: will pitcher Dontrelle Willis, who came from Florida with Cabrera, recapture his prime form...
