The only one I've seen is "The Aviator" and I had Alan Alda pegged for a nomination before I left the theater. There was none of Hawkeye Pierce in it at all. It was even better than his role in "Same Time Next Year." From my viewpoint, an actor who can play such diverse roles and play them well, is a good actor.

I don't know what's going on, but for some reason I have seen more movies in the last six months than I have in the six years before that.
