I could start and stop my film review section with Why So Blu reviewer Aaron Neuwirth’s comments on my theatrical review of John Wick where he left the following remarks. “A dude with long hair, a dog, and Mustang beats up Theon Greyjoy. Of course you loved this movie.” He also went on to add […]
I enjoy putting together different year end lists, as they tend to function as a way for me to put emphasis on a lot of film that I would hope people check out at some point (or avoid, in the case of the ‘Worst of’ list). This year, given how I have ranked a large […]
If you don’t come out of your John Wick viewing pumped up, then there’s something wrong with you medically speaking. The film has it all: money, cars (oh the American muscles cars), gangs, guns, girls, violence, puppies, loud rock music and some good old-fashioned hardcore action, something sorely missing from most flicks nowadays because of that watered […]
I normally don’t do this, nor have I ever done this before, but I can’t help it. I need to start this John Wick movie review off by quickly discussing the plot of the film from a very high level because it’s actually the very reason why I wanted to see this film. Keanu Reeves […]
Keanu Reeves stars in the action-adventure epic, 47 Ronin. After a treacherous warlord kills their master and banishes their kind, 47 leaderless samurai vow to seek vengeance and reclaim their honor. This band of ronin must seek help from Kai (Reeves)—an enslaved half-breed they once rejected—in their ultimate fight for redemption in a savage world […]

47 Ronin is an enjoyable hybrid period action/fantasy movie that was much better than I was expecting. Granted I am generally pretty satisfied with Keanu Reeves action movies, but a lot of the surprise came from how different this very expensive movie played out. Along with putting the money on screen, this is a film […]
My generation and that before have seen Keanu Reeves come up through his career as a one-trick stoner comedy pony, to really bad surfer actor, to action to star, to blockbuster superstardom to serviceable ensemble actor. In 2013, we take another step. Keanu Reeves: the director. In his directorial debut The Man Of Tai Chi, […]
Keanu Reeves makes his directorial debut and stars in Man of Tai Chi, the explosive martial arts drama that reunites him with legendary Matrix trilogy fight choreographer Yuen Wo Ping and stuntman Tiger Chen. The Blu-ray and DVD, which is available December 10th, includes bonus materials such as Feature Commentary with Director/Actor Keanu Reeves and Tiger Chen, and The Making of Man of […]
An excellent adventure indeed, this time travelling buddy comedy could have easily been a poor man’s Back to the Future, but it instead does its own thing and managed to become a fairly beloved cult film, which introduced many people to Keanu Reeves and super megastar Alex Winter :). It has now finally arrived on […]
I was hoping for more from a little arthouse flick about a bank robbery and the art of theater. It seemed like a nice change in pace for Keanu Reeves, who can be capable when he isn’t being openly mocked (some would say unfairly). Plus, Vera Farmiga and James Caan were on hand as co-stars […]
I’m very entertained by the casting of this movie. It has Keanu Reeves, Vera Farmiga, and James Caan. I missed it when it came out in limited release, but now we’ll all have a chance to see Henry’s Crime. On August 23rd, this film will be released onto Blu-ray and DVD. It is about a […]
After showing the world what he could do with Henry V in 1989, Kenneth Branagh returned with another Shakespearean movie with Much Ado About Nothing, which was filled with a ton of talented people. Some of these people like Denzel Washington, Emma Thompson, and Michael Keaton were perfectly cast while others such as Robert Sean […]
The Private Lives of Pippa Lee is one of those projects that some bill as ‘an artistic film.’ I have never really been certain of what that phrase means. My take on it is a movie that is low budget, has some bigger names, and flies under everyone’s radar. It can be argued that every […]
