...LAPD’s next move, as though his only purpose is to inform the audience. Jones is far too much “the bad guy” to have any depth. Dexter’s character is refreshing, while Jason Butler Harner, who plays Gordon Northcott, the mechanic of questionable sanity, is convincing in his quiet leer and uneasy smile. As is the danger with a film that draws from real life, “Changeling” follows the template of Collins’s true story far too literally. Some scenes that loyally adhere to actual...
...Meanwhile, a vagrant boy (Eddie Alderson, the best of a very strong bunch of child actors here) directs a police detective to a chicken ranch in Wineville, about 40 miles west of L.A. There, a Canadian named Gordon Northcott (nicely played by Jason Butler Harner as a man who tries to hide his darkest impulses under the aw-shucks amiability of a Gary Cooper rube) has committed atrocities on some 20 kidnapped boys.

...After graduating from Smith (like her mother and grandmother) she went to Columbia School of Journalism and studied in France, working summers at the Houston Chronicle. Then a brief gig at the Minneapolis Tribune, followed by six years as co-editor of The Texas Observer with friend Kaye Northcott. The two cut a swath through Texas politics in grand Observer tradition, investigating and exposing misdeeds and championing causes. In person, the two looked nothing like a duo from central casting - Molly beyond six feet, with big hair and a wide laugh; Kaye, petite, tiny, birdlike - but both gritty journalists...
...Quayle, as the series says, "expresses approval and glee" at some of his wife's "mischievous" potshots, then he is likely to be delighted by the political barbs she has included in her soon-to-be-published thriller, Embrace the Serpent. Written with her sister Nancy Northcott, the book features imperialist Russians and drug-running Arabs conspiring to replace a dead Castro with another evil Cuban dictator. Readers who can get past the book's clutter of cliches ("Even his fertile imagination hadn't truly conceived of the ecstasy of ultimate power"), arthritic prose ("Acknowledgment of those limitations...
