For almost three and a half decades the name Keanu Reeves has been synonymous with cool. Whether it's his sleek performances in POINT BREAK or more comedic fare with BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE, the man is the very definition of suave. The guy also has the reputation of being one of the nicest guys in Hollywood even if there's an ongoing debate as to whether or not the dude might be a vampire. (Seriously does this cat age?)
Well some of the folks over at YouTube's Movie Star Movies channel just could not contain their love of Mr. Reeves any longer. As such they decided to watch every single film in the man's filmography in an effort to prove that Keanu's films are all related. What they produced is a genius three minute video that mashes together some of the classic moments from Keanu Reeves' iconic films, everything from PARENTHOOD to CONSTANTINE. I present to you now, KEANU REEVES: THE MOVIE:
To that video I can only quote Keanu here, "WHOA." I loved how they played up the creepy aspect of some of Keanu's weirder films like 47 RONIN and THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE. Ending the video with Keanu's signature line from THE MATRIX was pitch perfect. Also I forgot how terrifying the Hell sequence was from BILL & TED'S BOGUS JOURNEY. Ted's grandmother and that f*cked up Easter Bunny gave me nightmares.
Keanu Reeves is one of those actors whose star power seems to taper off a bit and then resurge. It happened in the late 90s and early 2000s with THE MATRIX films and again earlier this decade with the JOHN WICK franchise. Regardless, I'm just happy this guy keeps making movies and I hope he does it for another 1000 years. That's the projected lifespan for a vampire right?
Reeves will return to the big screen next year with BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC which rocks its way into theaters August 21, 2020.
