...special family values award: Carrie Fisher, who described the scene backstage this way: "It was fun. I got to introduce Al Pacino and Tom Cruise to my mother's breasts. She was very proud." (Mom DEBBIE REYNOLDS wore a low-cut gown...
...unscientific but tantalizing theory is that Hollywood movies are serving as how-to manuals. Authorities point to the 1996 De Niro-Pacino vehicle Heat, which one of the robbers in the North Hollywood shoot-out had repeatedly watched. In Set It Off, starring Queen Latifah, a gang of women successfully robs several banks. Police in Durham noted that the language used in one local robbery was similar to that in the film.

In a way, the film is a high-minded remake of Pacino's Heat: he's the sleuth chasing down a charismatic killer. It's also naive, wildly self-indulgent and weirdly mesmerizing. While Pacino wrangles the text with such fellow seekers as Alec Baldwin and Winona Ryder...
