In nearly all of Jim Carrey's movies, the rubber-faced actor's eyebrows leap like caterpillars on amphetamines. Jack Nicholson's eyebrows arch wildly to imply devious deeds are afoot. Even Bob Dole, known for his expressly unanimated speaking posture, has been known to cock an eyebrow to italicize his remarks.

Brett Favre's former boss isn't surprised the iconic quarterback is back in the NFL. Eric Mangini , who coached Favre last season with the New York Jets before being fired and taking the same job in Cleveland, said Wednesday that he wasn't too surprised that Favre signed with the Minnesota Vikings after twice retiring. "I didn't really analyze it that much," Mangini said. "I kind of worked on the quarterbacks I have here." Mangini considers himself a Favre fan. "Brett's a Hall of Fame player, a great guy, a fierce competitor and, like I told him a long time ago, whatever decision he makes he'll make right," Mangini said.

Four Orange County men were shot and wounded early Sunday and three others escaped injury when their group was surprised by a gunman while fishing from a jetty, police said. The shooting occurred about 3 a.m. while the seven were winding down from a night at the jetty at the end of 72nd Place and Ocean Boulevard, a popular area for casual late-night fishing, Long Beach Police Lt. Philip King said.

The big reveal has been a staple of the Hollywood film at least since the 1960s, when Charlton Heston found out the apes lived on his own planet. When the maneuver is handled well, it can provide more viewing pleasure than almost any other device. But it's also trickier to pull off than the Double McTwist 1260. Offer too many clues along the way and it's hardly a surprise; point the arrows too far in the other direction and the audience will feel cheated. M. Night Shyamalan executed the reveal to perfection in "The Sixth Sense" -- in which the conclusion was both an utter surprise and impeccably logical -- before botching it with the left-field contrivances of "Unbreakable."

Jenny Holzer's first solo show in Los Angeles in more than 20 years - only her second to date - is a taut mini-survey consisting of works dating back to the late 1970s. The “truisms” contained in LED signs, benches and plaques scattered throughout the gallery at L&M Arts, as well as in a trio of Gobo light projections that appear on the exterior walls after dusk, will come as a surprise to almost no one, so central have they become to the story of American art over the last quarter-century.
