...from the inside out. “Little Children” is Field’s first since 2000’s electrifying “In the Bedroom,” but he isn’t repeating himself here by making yet another middle class, suburban infidelity tale that ends violently.

The subject matter is heavy, but the characters can be so quirky and the narrator?...
...Moussaoui's mother, A?cha el-Wafi, 59, is giving the full story behind that private agony. Set for publication Oct. 20, her book My Lost Son is as much her own story as it is Moussaoui's.

"I put on Tidy Up Tidy Up when I clean my room, and Franz Ferdinand when eating cakes," says Tom. "I like my CD, all my other music is babyish - but Daddy...
...breed: the war hero. Soldiers surely acted exemplarily in Korea, and Vietnam, and Iraq, but each of those conflicts exhausted the rooting interest of the American public, which eventually went looking not for battlefield derring-do but for statesmen who could clean up the mess. Eastwood's compassionate, cautionary tale speaks eloquently about a time when America needed heroes, and does so when we are no longer sure what they look like--when the indelible photo op of the Iraq war is from Abu Ghraib...
