Liam Neeson has enjoyed two careers as an actor. For many years, he was regarded as a “highbrow” thespian – one who preferred serious, artistic productions. Then, beginning with 2009’s Taken, he opted for the higher paychecks that acco...

Under the best of circumstances, a relationship demands work and nurturing. Like a plant, it must be carefully tended after it sprouts and guided to maturity. Neglect can cause it to wither or become stunted or overgrown. Adam chronicles the rela...
