I haven't seen Henry's Crime yet, because I expect to be as "meh" about it as you are. I'm not too crazy about romantic flicks, so my favourite romantic Ke movie is the Lake House. I notice that it's the only romantic movie of his that you list as a fave, too.

LucaM - yeah, that humor is dry alright, dry as the Sahara. I did giggle a bit here and there, but overall I just didn't think it was a very good film. It had potential, though. And I think Ke's performance was so subtle that most people won't "get" it at all. Jimmy Caan was awesome.

ink - I do actually love Ke's romantic films...but if you think about it, even his action films have romance...I think of Point Break and Speed as love stories that just happen to have a lot of cool action in them. Same with the Matrix films and Devil's Advocate and Feeling Minnesota...Oh, I forgot Sweet November in my original list. The more I watch it, the better I like it.

Geez. I wrote a dang novel here. I must not have enough to do! (You might surmise that I must be a writer, and not only that, maybe even an English professor. And you'd be right.)

I visualise that as a flight controller who has to send various cargo from one airport to another, and where the aircraft must depart and arrive at pretty much the same time. That's the same way that the various plots and sub-plots in a movie have to start and end when the movie starts and ends (or at least in a timely order).

Anyway, a movie gets confusing when important plots are sent in small Cessnas and propeller planes while sub-plots get sent in Boeing 787s and Airbuses, especially when they take off in a haphazard order and have to dodge each other in the air.

So: Keanu, get your nose out from between the pages of whatever book you're busy reading, and keep an eye on the *radar!*

;-)

And then if the dang space shuttle decides to land in the middle of it all, there's serious trouble.

@LucaM - still waters, it is. There's so much beneath the surface of Lake Keanu. Although I am not sure why Henry and Julie were freezing their buns off at Niagara Falls, it's not exactly a place to hang out on a cold winter's night. And it was weird seeing it with no other people there - that place is NEVER empty except on purpose.

@Joke - I teach business and technical writing, not "lit-ra-ture," so I'm no expert on Shakespeare. Also, I barely recall seeing Much Ado when it came out lo those many years ago, and if you had asked me then about Keanu's performance, I would have said, "He was in that movie?"

Like I said, I'm working my way through his filmography using Netflix and haven't gotten to that one yet. I think Constantine is up next in my queue.

... the fact that Julie chooses the spot for the walk. the dialogue of that scene(although two rather important lines were cut at editing), combined with the earlier conversation, during the dinner at the Chinese restaurant. Apparently it's Lake Henry and Niagara Falls Julie. And yet... things are not what they look like ;)

of course I'm reading too much into everything ;)

And the hot air balloons. Don't forget the hot air balloons. The get sucked into the jet engines really easily. Makes such a mess.

@arya - I had the same thought and chuckled, but really, Henry is a man slowly waking from a very long, very dull sleep life. Let's not expect too much of him! And thanks for the suggestions on Constantine - it arrives tomorrow, so probably Friday night or Saturday I will watch it. Netflix doesn't always include the extras, though. But if I like the film enough I will buy it.

LucaM - now you're making me want to watch HC again. Gah. I may have to acquire it.

Standing by....

Thanks.
