Speed
was such an awesome vehicle (no pun intended) for Keanu. That was the first time me and my mom went "whoa" over him.
He wasn't even on my radar for Dangerous Liasons, so my love for that movie is still pure.
Iron Man, well, I think that was the first movie in awhile that left me grinning. Fun, horrific, silly, sad, touching, FUN! Also: Iron Man theme song RULES!
Demolition Man is SO MUCH FUN!
"Let's go blow this guy!"
"It's 'blow him
away'"
also much fun to be had with The Last Boy Scout, and I'll echo the inability to love Hudson Hawk, no matter how many times I've tried to watch it.
Is it wrong that I still love Young Guns (and YG2)? I like the
sound
of them. Just hearing the dialogue and the music is comforting and classic to me. And I will always love me some Doc and Chavez.
I recently rewatched
Young Guns 2
and it left me with a sour taste in my mouth. I'm leery of rewatching the original in case I ruin that too. Billy The Kid was just so desperate and pathetic. He was more fun in the first one, right?
taking into account that I still haven't seen either of the Bill & Ted films
I finally saw the second Bill & Ted movie a few months ago. Good stuff. It occurred to me that Dude, Where's My Car? owes a lot to those films.
Young Guns remind me of Young Riders, which I loved! I would be ascared to rewatch that!
Dude Where's My Car? was an unexpected and fun surprise.
I caught Legend of Billie Jean Davies last week, another childhood fave, and now I hate it. Fair is fair? WTF kinda message is that? Although, now I get why they had the young Christian Slater get shot, because that's only fair, right? Totally stupid movie to me now. Pat Benetar still rocks, though.
River's Edge
I must have watch that movie a bazillion times in high school. I crushed on creepy Crispin Glover even!
Keanu had one of the best mini-monologues ever in Parenthood.
But Keanu Reeves' horrible accent wasn't nearly as fun as Kate Beckinsale's
The worst part is, Coppola and Winona both wanted Johnny Depp for Harker, and the studio nixed him (not a big enough star). SO TRAGIC!
I have a ridiculous weakness for Keanu, and have had for years. He's so very pretty.
Amy is me. and the nice-guy reports don't hurt either.
The nice guy reports don't entirely make up for the intermittent disappearance of his acting talent, but I always wish for him to do well even if it's people other than me attending his movies.
He definitely has a limited range. But if he stays within it, he can be really convincing.
And I mentioned the pretty, right?
It's good to hear he's a nice guy. I like that.
