Single Malt Scotch, Monte Cristo Cigar's, the high life rolled into the low life of Barney...Paul Giamatti must be my favorite contemporary actor (maybe tied with Phillip Seymour Hoffman)...but one thing they both have in common is a movie like this...Barney's version is an actors delight...a story told over a long period of time about one man and his faults and frailty...picture a straight telling of Synechdoche NY...you know without all the Charlie Kaufman high jinx...Dustin Hoffman plays his father...also has great Canadian Film Directors playing terrible Canadian TV Directors (Cronenberg and Egyon)...I have watched now several Giamatti films in a row (Pretty Bird - PLUS), (The Hawk is Dying - PLUS) and now this film...I have found that Giamatti has his catch phrase...no one and I mean no one says the phrase "Jesus Christ" like Giamatti...this guy is pretty great to watch and Barneys version is a definite PLUS
