*A recent issue of Entertainment Weekly has a review of
_James Ellroy: Demon
Dog of American Crime Fiction_, a video documentary [1998,
First Run
Features, unrated, $59.95]..."crime novelist Ellroy..spouts
self-
aggrandizements gross enough to make Norman Mailer blush.."
[now that's a
feat right there...]..."But when filmmaker Reinhard Jud cuts
through the
bluster to explore Ellroy's imagination...he entrances us
with poetic
salacity and rhapsodic seaminess."
*_Naked City: A Killer Christmas_ premiers on Showtime Sunday
Dec 13 at 8PM
[eastern?]..stars Scott Glenn and Courtney B. Vance,
directed by Peter
Bogdanavich with characters drawn from _The Naked City_ ,
which airs before
