...film is essentially a two-person conversation with a little lovemaking thrown in, taking place in one small hotel room over the course of a few short hours. There is - utterly, totally, completely - no reason to show "Man" (Aaron Eckhart) and "Woman" (Helena Bonham Carter) in anything but conventional movie terms.

But it also raises the question of whether the conservative base will be excited enough about Corker's candidacy to turn up at the polls in sufficient numbers come November. For all the money that was thrown into the primary, turnout was about average. Corker insists he is not worried about Republican enthusiasm, given his surprisingly large victory over two former House members, Ed Bryant and Van Hilleary. "This primary is the best thing that could have happened to the Republican Party," he told TIME. "That has been energizing...
