He looked perfect for a young Jonathan Harker, too -- innocent, not very worldly, a little wide-eyed. Dracula was just a mess on a lot of levels, but so very pretty.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
There's a movie that's in my top ten that probably nobody has seen--Cate Blanchett, Giovanni Ribisi, and Keanu, plus Greg Kinnear, Katie Holmes, Gary Cole, Rosemary Harris, J.K. Simmons, Michael Jeter, Hilary Swank. It's called The Gift, c. 2000, and I have to rewatch every couple of years. Keanu is dead mean and menacing, nothing like any of his other characters.
Of course, once having watched The Gift, I have to rewatch Ribisi and Blanchett in Heaven, c. 2002--no Keanu in that one.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I vaguely remember The Gift. It was pretty good. I like Keanu, too. I've never refused to see a movie because it had Keanu Reeves in. I really liked Speed, and I liked Constantine too.

I loved The Gift! I actually had it on DVD at one point.

Not naming any names, but some make a point of seeing everything Keanu is in and may or may not have Permanent Record in the Saved Titles section of Netflix for the day it eventually becomes available.
Again, not naming any names.

He is just so astonishingly good in River's Edge. That performance really holds up well.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I love that this exchange is basically the AIFG principle acted out in real time.

I really enjoyed The Gift, and Keanu getting to play against type was one of the many reasons.

I remember liking The Gift, though I remember nothing of it now.

At the time, the media was making a big deal out of Katie Holmes' topless scene.
