And here's the rest of the pre-Speed period. Enjoy the lack of bad puns in the article headlines (well okay, there's 'No Place Like Om', but apart from that...)
The years 1991 to 1993 were supposedly fascinating - 1991 in particular, because that saw the release of the films Point Break, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and My Own Private Idaho, which were very different from each other and resulted in film critic Roger "Two Thumbs Up!" Ebert heaping praise on Keanu's acting range. This also, however, was the period that spawned Bram Stoker's Dracula, which has since gone down in history generally acknowledged as Keanu's worst performance ever. This was apparently the film that first got critics deciding that The Anu made good target practice, and having actually survived through said film (in Keanu's defence, the whole film sucked, and it's not just because it had vampires; mysteriously, it actually has a fairly good rating on IMDb, which I put down to the undead having Internet skills far beyond our comprehension), I can't really blame them. Though I do blame them for continuing the attacks. That's the whole reason this site exists, anyway - that and the fact that I have a strange compulsive urge to build websites.
