...about teens, drugs and unsafe sex. At least in Paradise, from a novel by ex-con Eddie Little, the lowlifes have some fun shooting up and stealing. Here two career criminals (James Woods and Melanie Griffith) adopt a young couple (Vincent Kartheiser and Natasha Gregson Wagner) into la dolce venom. There's a droll tough love in this inversion of Father Knows Best, where Dad is given to arias of rage, Mom kills people, Bud and Princess do junk.

Writing exclusively in TIME, William Ginsburg reserves the most venom for Starr's legal team, which he portrays as an incompetent crew who took the wrong evidence from Lewinsky's apartment and went into a frenzy over the Drudge Report. Worse, Ginsburg says, is their use of Linda Tripp's secret tapes -- which may not be legally admissable. "Starr seems...
