Al Pacino can act - sometimes

Al Pacino is in town, I think he's picking up some honorary doctorate or other.

I recently saw him play Shylock in The Merchant of Venice and was reminded that the guy can actually act.

I've grown sick and tired of watching him play the same character in far too many movies - the same hard-bitten, shouting gobshite whether he's a blind war veteran or an honest cop.

He should try acting more often.
