...Liotta has the toughest role and does wonders with it. He gets to play ambiguities. Stallone has to dramatize indecision; he does it by carefully plodding toward Freddy's crisis. He describes the sheriff as "a noble turtle," and during the shoot he kept a small turtle in his pocket. Mangold wanted the star to lose his chiseled look, so Stallone gained 40 lbs. of flab--a condition he often felt obliged to explain. "He'd say, 'Hey, I'm doing a movie, that's why I'm heavy,'" Liotta recalls. "He'd say this to a perfect stranger...

Last August he was arrested at Burbank Airport for carrying a loaded revolver. This January Tisha Campbell, his Martin co-star, filed a suit alleging sexual harassment and refused to appear in intimate scenes with him. In March he was arrested after a man said the star punched him inside a Hollywood nightery. Now Lawrence is fighting his ex-wife's challenge to their prenuptial agreement...
...costs thousands of dollars a year to keep a person in jail. Those who advocate life imprisonment should pay for it out of their own pocket. I would rather spend my tax dollars on something productive for society, such as a new hospital wing, better roads or books for my kid's school. If I want a roof over my head, I have to come up with the money for it. Why should I have to pay for a murderer's amenities for life? TOM BRADFORD McCall, Idaho...
