Mourning Sickness In modern movies, when a father and daughter are shown in an affectionate relationship, you know one of them has to die. Thomas Craven, the cop, is walking into his house with his 24-year-old daughter Emma (Bojana Novakovic) when she is gunned down. The official suspicion is that Craven was the target, but he soon learns that she had been engaged in antinuclear espionage at Northmoor, a nearby plant run by the usual oily CEO (Danny Huston).

Extending jobless benefits would not "be reinforcing that misery." No money...
Raising teenagers has forced me and every mom I know to double back even more, recalling what heartbreak feels like, and moodiness, and mystery, when every day feels so suddenly rude and ripe with expectations and revelations. My husband and I talk late into the night, trying to remember what it was like for us, even as we realize how much has changed for these kids. It feels ageless, middle age, when we are suspended between twin poles: the needs of our own parents as they hang on to us tighter and the needs of our children as they push...
