...scary scenes too. The lions aren't the big problem here; it's the mutants, whom exposure to the virus has made gaunt, pretrenaturally athletic (they can climb tall buildings at several bounds) and as ravenous as any killer carnivore for human flesh. One sequence, in which Neville follows the dog into a dark building and is confronted by the creatures, worked on my nerves with a superior technical and artistic skill set - a mixture of computer beasties and old-fashioned suspense...
...there are several more stops after that. Edwards' passionate, populist stump speech reminds you that his greatest strength as a trial lawyer used to be his closing argument.

The intellectual fatigue guarantees that the Republicans will fall back on the one issue that unites them: the Democrats. Giuliani has led the charge here, repeatedly naming Hillary Clinton in debates as the real threat facing the nation. But Sanford warns...
