Fairer days are just around the corner: An enthusiastic crowd of 15,000 watched as groundhog Punxsutawney Phil failed to see his shadow early Tuesday morning...
Beyond that, you have to thank all concerned for giving that great minimalist, Bill Murray, his first good role since 1993's Groundhog Day. It's oxymoronically difficult to get laughs out of clinical depression, but as Blume, an industrialist driven to despair by his wealth, his wife and his ghastly children, Murray does it brilliantly. He's also the perfect foil for endlessly up-and-doing Max, who is, perhaps, everything Blume once was, all that he can no longer be.

Over dinner, he pushed Netanyahu to boil his security demands...
Since now. If I were a truly responsible citizen, I'd also be worried about the Ukrainian groundhog and the Azerbaijani chipmunk or whatever those currencies are called. Now that the cold war is over, we not only have all of our worries, we also have all of what used to be their worries. Their drought is now our drought, and no longer something to cheer about...
