...importance of winning in first-in-the-nation Iowa and he invested heavily in the state back in 1976 - and again in 1980, winning the caucuses that year 59% to Kennedy's 31%. Iowans appreciated Carter's personal investment in the state, the time he spent pressing the flesh with as many caucus-goers as possible. These days the top three Democratic candidates - Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards (for whom Trippi is working this cycle) - have all adhered to Carter's model, visiting a majority of Iowa's 99 counties, investing months of their lives, hundreds of staff...

...Insofar as those characteristics include literary sensibilities, then that's no bad thing. Tram's observations of the war's everyday agonies are powerful and haunting.

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...
...adopted. The sudden disappearance of Laura’s son takes her on a physically and emotionally drenching quest to her past, where she encounters the supernatural, uncovers many secrets, and surprisingly, finds some long awaited comfort. Chiefly a one-woman show (if you only count characters with flesh), the film’s achievement depends greatly on Rueda’s successful portrayal of Laura. Rueda, who received heavy accolades for her role in the 2004 Oscar-winner for Best Foreign Film “The Sea Inside,” once again carries through with force, and powerfully...
