...doesn't fit it. She's single and living within an income that does not match her talent. A friend suggests she invent a fiance to get a raise based on this spurious evidence of stability. A wedding videographer named Nick (Jay Mohr) agrees to go along with the gag, hoping to turn their fake affair into the real thing...
...Onofrio, who demonstrates an unusual knack for phusical comedy (and an impressive makeup job) in playing the Bug disguised in Edgar's (decaying) skin. The slim-green exterminator's truck he drives around is enough to provoke a chuckle every time it appears. But after a while the gag gets old: one wishes the scriptwriters had given d'Onofrio something else to do besides walk like Frankenstein with a case of cerebral palsy and grunt threats in guttural tones. And the Bug, once it emerges, is a comic book nighmare. It's not any less ridiculous just because...
With DNA testing apparently inconclusive, investigators are pinning hopes on an array of forensic testing, including the garrote and duct tape used to strangle and gag the little girl, and handwriting and handprint analyses of the ransom note.

In character, design and performance, Hades...
...jury to consider McVeigh's youth and the fact that he served his country during the Gulf War. Another possible tactic: Put McVeigh, who did not testify during the trial, on the stand to appeal for mercy. Because Judge Matsch has put lawyers for both sides under a gag order, Jones would not comment on the future of the case, but he is expected to appeal Monday's verdict. No matter what the sentence, the trial just concluded concerned only the 8 federal employees killed in the blast. Oklahoma state officials will now charge McVeigh with the deaths...
