...Among the film's supporting characters, only Alan Cumming can be criticized for his shallow and stereotypical work as Charlie's lonely and dying friend. Samuel Ball does a lot to give his hateful character some depth, and Matt Keeslar's brief scenes with Futterman help explain why Charlie is so haunted by his former lover...

...shallow waters of the channel, a plume of wastewater frequently set up off Deer Island that could be seen by any jet aircraft taking off from Logan Airport. Ships passing through the area carried the toxins both away from the harbor and back toward shore. Although 85 percent clean, this plume occasionally fouled dense areas of marine life in large parts of the inner harbor...

The mothers nurse the 18-month-old cubs and scoop up some of the hundreds of thousands of salmon on their way up the inlet to spawn and die. Then another bear appears, followed by tiny triplets...

...thought my actual reason for being there would sound shallow: I want to learn to use a defibrillator because it's always supercool on ER when the doctor gets out the paddles and yells, "Clear!" Instead I say that I'm a new aunt and I don't want to kill my nephew. The instructor replies, "It's nice you're here, but next time you might want to sign up for Infant CPR." I joke that oh, my parents have one foot in the grave too, and then everyone looks sad and nods in sympathy...
