  2. Gripping return to the Lindbergh kidnapping

    So many 20th-century murders were dubbed "The Crime of the Century" that erstwhile Chicago playwright-turned-Academy-Award-nominated screenwriter John Logan could have made a career from that carnival of mayhem alone — perhaps as a decade-by-decade, true-crime version of August Wilson's celebrated cycle of plays on the African-American experience. As it is, Logan (who won the Tony Award for "Red," his portrait of Mark Rothko, and more recently penned the screenplay for "Skyfall") first won local acclaim in 1986 with "Never the Sinner," based on the 1920s Leopold and Loeb case, followed the next year by his portrait of the German immigrant executed for the kidnapping and murder of the Lindbergh baby in the 1930s.

  4. This side of 'Paradise,' with Echols, Davis

    "I really do believe these people would have gotten away with murdering me if it would not have been for what you guys did — for being there in the beginning and getting this whole thing on tape so the rest of the world sees what's happening." That's Damien Echols, talking to filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky a couple of years ago when they visited him in prison for the most recent installment of "Paradise Lost," their HBO documentary series about the West Memphis Three that aired last year.

  6. DVD review: Crime docs win a positive verdict

    In 1994, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley Jr. — teenagers who came to be known as the West Memphis Three — were convicted of murdering three little boys in a Satanic ritual. There were a lot of things wrong with their trial, and in 1996 filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky stirred up public interest with “Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Woods” — the first of this set's three features. Despite the subsequent activism by their supporters, it was 17 years before the boys-now-men were released. Along the way, Berlinger and Sinofsky made two follow-ups — subtitled “Revelations” and “Purgatory” — in 2000 and 2011.
