I saw "Gangs of New York" yesterday. Daniel Day Lewis was great. Leonardo was miscast. It should have been Ewan McGregor. The film was, um, educational. I learned a lot about the beginnings of NY politics, Tammany Hall and all that. But it was emotionally pretty empty.

I'm going to go see "Catch Me If You Can" and I hope Leonardo is more fun to watch this time. I'm not sure what happened to this actor who gave one of film's best performances ever ("Gilbert Grape") which ranks along with Streep's "Sophie's Choice" and DeNiro's Jake LaMotta. After the three hour chore called "Titanic," he seems lost in the need to be a leading man.

Gonna lay on the couch now, read a book and cuddle with Bob which will probably lead to a nap. Bob has that effect.
