...film tiptoes around much of Woodward's most sensational material. Missing, for example, is a portrayal of such Hollywood stars as Robin Williams and Robert De Niro, reported in the book to have used cocaine with Belushi. Except for Aykroyd (Gary Groomes), Belushi's wife Judy (Lucinda Jenney) and Cathy Smith (Patti D'Arbanville), the woman who allegedly gave Belushi his fatal drug injection, most real-life characters are given pseudonyms, and none are shown indulging in drug use with Belushi. Only a couple of scenes offer hints that Hollywood might share any blame in Belushi's death...
...Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, having closed late last month after a seven-week run in Boston -- has to offer. At 46, Murray has developed without shortcuts into a wonderfully articulate painter, one of the best of a generation that includes Susan Rothenberg, Neil Jenney and Brice Marden. Her show of some 45 works, a midcareer report organized by the Dallas Museum of Art with an excellent catalog essay by Art Critic Roberta Smith, will continue after Los Angeles to Des Moines and Minneapolis before finishing at the Whitney Museum in New York City next spring.

The frame is part of the work, and within it -- always a wide, heavily molded, dark construction, its inner edges toned so that a white glow seems to be emanating from the picture itself -- one catches a glimpse of, say, a broad horizon, a band of achingly pure and silent sky, the trunk of a pine. The frame becomes a prison for a sign of traditional vastness, the 19th century view of limitless America. But look closer and the ideal landscape is fatally cankered...
...only thing Marden's paintings have in common with Jenney's, apart from their intelligence, is the way their surfaces invite meditation. Marden is wholly an abstract painter, and the effect of his work hinges on the proportional intensities of blocks of color. He is a minimalist, but without the fierce abolitionism the word suggests...
