I may have to pick it up and take another look at it.

I also need to grab the Fisher King.
It was $5.50 at Walmart, you really can't go wrong with that price. Also how is The Fisher King, I've heard people mention it but never actually seen it. I know Robin Williams was in it, I regard him as a very good actor who can play a lot of different roles. Although One hour photo and Insomnia were a little big of a tangent from his usual roles.

Memento was absolutely fantabulous.

Dark City was meh.
Dark City is an acquired taste of sorts, not too many people get the whole "film noir" style of doing things

Fisher King was a real eye opener for his acting ability along with Dead Poets Society.

One Hour didn't really catch on with me as a really great movie but the acting was good.

Insomnia cured my insomnia...too slow and nothing to really note about it at all IMO.

Well put, its the whole are we as humans defined by our minds or by what is within our hearts. The part where John Murdoch points and says "You went searching in the wrong place" is so poignant.

I had One hour photo on DVD, but I sold it because I really couldn't get myself to like it. Great acting by Williams of playing the troubled loner, but it really didn't do anything for me. I saw Insomnia once, my only comment was wow Robin Williams can play some strange roles.
