...what begins as a redemptive romantic comedy turns twisted and eerie as soon as Don sets foot in his hometown. Sonny differs greatly from the girl McKay remembers, and seems strangely vital for a dying woman. Her caretakers, live-in nurse Marie (Melissa Leo) and Dr. Lance Pryce (James Rebhorn), are on suspiciously intimate terms with their patient. Remembering their long history together, Sonny asks Don to share her bed, and the two sleep together on his first night back. The following morning Dr. Pryce assaults Don in a rage, and he kills the doctor in self-defense, stashing...

At the hotel his ally is do-nothing Mickey (Russell Brand); his other adversary is the officious Aspen (Lucy Lawless of Xena renown); and the potential prize and troublemaker is Nottingham's sexy daughter Violet (Teresa Palmer). When Skeeter's sister (Courteney Cox) goes...
...resignation bug has also spread to the House, where three senior Republicans--former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, former Republican Conference chairwoman Deb Pryce and seven-term veteran Ray LaHood of Illinois--are among the 18 who have had enough. One more big Republican retirement (or scandal), and Democrats may start thinking that Christmas has come early...
