6 Films That Prove Keanu Reeves Should Do More Comedy
2015-08-24 05:53:43
I'd like to add to this list the wonderful gallows humor of "Constantine". Keanu's razor sharp delivery of a fine script makes what could have been just another comic book film into a real drama. Besides the delicious image of his blasphemous ascension into heaven, there is a constant stream of more nuanced moments, like his musing hesitation in the scene when Rachel Weisz asks him whether she should leave her clothes on when getting into the bathtub for her initiation, and the several near kisses which wink at the audience while playing on his lovely, understated chemistry with Weisz. And then there are the throwaway gestures that mock the demons and "half breeds" he battles throughout the film. As in all Reeves' movies, the ironic tone of his delivery is set physically as much as verbally.

That's Keanu, not Keane, of course.

Haven't visited WINM for some time, so I'm a bit behind on Keane movie news. Can anyone enlighten me about the dates of U.S. releases of Daughter of God and two others whose titles I forget, one a courtroom drama set in New Orleans, the other a t.v. series about an assassin? Forgive my faulty memory, please. Suffering from post-Wick KR withdrawal.
Keanu Reeves: Acting is my craft
2015-01-06 10:17:42
I'm going to go out on a limb here and paraphrase the poet W.H. Auden as having said that at 50, everyone has the face he deserves. At 50, Keanu is ruggedly beautiful and there is a stillness and high intelligence there - but also a sadness around the eyes. Even for a theatrical rockstar, life is difficult. We're drawn to Keanu in part because he has made peace with that, as this interview reveals. Thanks, LucaM.
Whoa! What a Keanu Reeves's retrospective says about his excellent adventure
2014-12-07 13:18:08
Two of my favorite Keanu roles are his romantic lead turns in the achingly sweet Lake House and the effervescent Henry's Crime. I recently read a critic opining that Keanu is "never comfortable" as a romantic lead. That critic was clearly out to lunch during these two films. Or maybe he just didn't have a woman along to explain to him what was going on.

Keanu has been involved in talks about Passengers for some time. What is his reaction to the "clean slate"?

John Wick takes Keanu Reeves’s breath away

If you've seen the trailer, you've heard the sound effect of Daisy's demise. You'll see what could be a sleeping beagle in the background. It isn't grotesque, although you'll have no doubt that the pup is meant to be dead. C'mon - it's Keanu! It's a terrific, stylish, humorous, exciting film. Our guy is in fabulous, top form.Don't you miss it!

...In relationships with men - wow! It's exactly what mymother said to me when I asked her why men didn't understand stuff that seemed obvious to me & my girlfriends. It sometimes seems to me that Lao Li was an old man when he was a young thing. Now he has learned how to be young: more open, more joyful.
