But Pacino has been a perpetual motion machine. In this movie he still is: dancing like a boxer, chewing gum, his feet banging out a nervous paradiddle. Eventually, gravity takes its revenge. In remorseless closeup, and beneath his strangely youthful hairdo, he reveals the forehead furrows, a murder of crowlines, bags like backpacks under his eyes.

...range - well above the $140,000 to $170,000 similar properties commanded before Katrina. Kammer's selling points include the fact that towns like Picayune and Poplarville, about 50 miles east of New Orleans, are on rolling land - he is hesitant to call it "hills" - about 35 feet above sea level. "Come on up," he's telling prospective buyers pushing for appointments today and tomorrow. Some Louisianans, like New Orleans' Dabon, are looking even farther.
