been reading about how he's such a star ...perhaps "Dog Day" was too much too early, but he's still playing that same role...I'm bored with it. Ok, he was good in "Godfather". Perhaps he retired after that role but didn't tell his agent.

Love the origional "Insomnia". I watched it 5 times in a period of a few weeks and enjoyed it more each time--. Those who suffer from insomnia get alot out of the mood of this masterpiece. Clearly, this director and this actor know the zombie world of the sleep-deprived.

i think alot of it is simply getting away from the USA worldview...it's so refreshing.

loved the humor...like the snow above the artic circle--so dry you darn't smile lest your face shatter and sublime to vapors.

but i can understand how hard it is for those who've never lived in a "foreign" country...the very idea that the world can be explained from an entirely alien perspective is quickly dismissed as incomprehensible by the vast majority of Americans.

will make an effort to see Robin Williams though.
loved him in "Popeye".
