Now we're talking! So, does he learn as he gets younger or does he forget things that happened because for him they were in the past or something?

No, that's the plot of Memento.
It's more like the past is always with him and he holds on to that anger and funnels it into his nocturnal vigilante streak. As for the learning, I don't think we see any of that until he turns into Christian Bale and is being manipulated by mongolian ninjas.
I pray for one last landing,
on the globe that gave me birth.
Let me rest my eyes on the fleecy skies
and the cool, green hills of Earth.

awww I thought you meant this Button guy is a crime fighter. That was a start of a decent story at least. What's his deal?

The Mexican was okay-ish.
Not seen Babylon but I take it you mean Babel and I haven't seen that either.
Really love his small role in True Romance - Floyd just cracks me up everytime.
Meet Joe Black was good but I felt it could have been better.
Mr & Mrs Smith was a fun movie.

Gotta admit, I didn't like Babel.
BUT. He and Cate Blanchett were excellent in their part. I just can't stand films that chop and change between a few different stories, even if they do all 'tie up' at the end.
