Although Close's portrayal should be enough to entertain older audiences, there are a few clever concepts thrown into the film. This version of "101 Dalmatians" has been updated to the nineties, so that Cruella is a fashion mogul with a large corporation and Roger designs video games. In the movie, Roger is working on a game featuring Dalmatians, but he cannot find the perfect villain for his creation until he meets De Vil, whose dementia serves as a twisted inspiration...
...song that they played, including a muscular Cowboy Junkies cover and an ad-libbed "White Christmas." Most notable were their plugged, spine-tingling rendition of "Evil," the freshly-penned and exuberant "New Song About a New Girl," and their closing ditty, the ever-arrogant and melancholy "Mistress" (sans piano version).

All that is needed is a "preponderance of the evidence"--a much lower standard than reasonable doubt--and eight out of 12 jurors in agreement. Simpson may be held liable in the deaths of these two people, but he will not go to prison. Depending on the cleverness of his attorneys, Simpson may not even have to pay full damages, although this case is less about money...
