Hullo. I work as a research fellow at the University of Southampton, and, although I used to spend most of my time composing music, I went and bought a house and now spend all day working and all evening doing chores or decorating. Woo :o)

It's a film with Robert De Niro in it.. so it has to be good, right? Well, it's certainly a slight change of direction to his usual mob type films. The film's about a mob boss (De Niro, of course) who realises that he can lo longer do the things gangsters should do - shoot people, for example. So he enroles the help of a psychiatrist (Crystal) to help him sort it out. The adventure then starts. It's a funny film, although it may not have you rolling about constantly. There's also been some critisism of De Niro's crying scenes, but I personally find them funnier because his crying seems purposely hammy. The DVD is pretty good with a commentary by Crystal and De Niro (although, this has obviously been spliced together from seperate tracks) which is reasonably interesting, and a outtake reel (which although poor picture quality, is very funny). If you like mob films, then get this just to see all the usual mob actors playing up their roles, and having a good laugh. If you're a De Niro fan, you've probably already got it.
