...called A History of Violence, and there's plenty of that, but the movie could also be called The Mystery of Sex, for two scenes shared by Maria Bello and Viggo Mortensen. In the first, Bello, the doting Midwestern wife and mom, dons her old cheerleader togs for some playful whoopee with Mortensen, her placid, stalwart hubby. In the second, all hell breaks loose on the stairs of their home. The sex is angry, feral, more an act of fury than of love, and she might be doing it with a different, more dangerous...

Liu even signed up for Mandarin and Chinese-history courses at the University of California...

So last year I begged for a job writing for Crumbs, a new pilot I liked because it was about a family that lied about every facet of its members' lives until the mom went crazy. Luckily, Crumbs wanted to hire me because, after eight years in journalism, I could be had cheap. This still didn't work out well for them. Which is why I'm trying to make it up by plugging the show.
