    I know what you mean.  I bought "Speed" just so I can look at him
    whenever I want to.  I have been wanting to see his new movie
    but I don't think it has come to my area yet and can't wait
    for his next one.  I think it will be his first romantic lead - he
    did a romantic part in Dangerous Liasons a few years back.  I
    just love his smile, he is soooooo gorgeous.

    Meaning no disrespect, but he just doesn't do anything for me.
    
      John :-)

    1.
    In Dangerous Liasons, he was just a secondary actor...BUT in
    A Walk in the Clouds  he's the lead  and thats where SPEED changed
    it all...finally..I was getting sick of waiting for him to be
    really recognized....but you know you need the right vehicle to
    get you to the top..and that was it...
    
    2. I was going to ask for someone to do a filmography but didn't
    and we got a terrific list anyhow!!!  thanks alot for The List !!!!

    Royston,  your right I didn't think of it when I wrote it!
    
    oops!

>>    Meaning no disrespect, but he just doesn't do anything for me.

	Neither for me.  Plus, I honestly think he's a lousy actor.
	His performance in "Speed" was one of the worst I've seen in
	quite a while.

    I think a great deal depends upon whether you have jugs or not :-)
    
    Davie (no jugs here).

    
    	Ummm, I'm pretty sure .7 has jugs and she doesn't like him
    	either.
    
    	So the old saying holds true ...
    
    	" ... it takes more than jugs to appreciate Keanu Reeves".
    
    	8^)
    

	.8  good grief  

	    Saw Keanu being interviewed recently.  Man, oh man, he's
	    even worse when he's not "acting".  What a winner.

    I thought Keanu Reeves was terrible in Much Ado About Nothing.  I felt
    that he was totally mis-cast.  He's a rather poor actor -- looks don't
    add anything to my appreciation.

    
    	Judging by the majority of replies in here, I'd say he was the
    	perfect actor to be cast in "Much Ado About Nothing".
    
    	8^)
    

    I don't care if he is a bad actor or not.  As long as I can look
    at him for 2 hours at a time doesn't matter to me.

    I am Jugg-less and I Like Keanu.
    
    
    I liked his supporting role in "Parenthood" as "that Todd".  I think
    he did a good job.  Haven't seen other movies he's been in besides
    "Bill & Ted" which made me smirk a lot :-)
    
    I thought "Speed" was a kinda awful movie.

    p.s.  Sorry about the diff in opinion Di
    
    

    
>>    p.s.  Sorry about the diff in opinion Di

    But no, Stevie!

    I liked him in "Parenthood" too.  And he was perfect for "Bill
    and Ted's...".  Simply awful in anything I've seen him in since,
    though.  He's really starting to take himself seriously, too.
    Kinda comical.  ;>
    
    

    I really like Keanu Reeves. He is a refreshing change from the big
    overstuffed muscle men and sure footed protagonists that seem to have
    been dominating the movies. I think he is a GREAT actor,and I have
    loved all of his movies including "Bill and Ted" and "Speed."
    
    And no, I don't have jugs either.

    Well maybe some of you guys should consider a hefty set of implants.
    I haven't seen ANY  *good* young actors in the past 5 years with the
    exception of Bradd Pitt.
    
    Davie.

    don't start on Brad Pitt, I'm sick of hearin about him...he stinks
    and weird looking too,  with the beard he looks like Charles Manson
    talk about overrated and talentless.

    KR is on the cover of People magazine this week.  I read the article.
    For such a young man who is just coming into his own, they sure
    had a lot to write about!
    
    Some highlights:
    
    His name is Hawiain (sp?) meaning "cool breeze over a mountain."
    His father is from Hawaii and his mother is from....I think Boston.
    His father has been in jail for possession of cocaine since KR was
    about 13, he father is still in jail.  KR doesn't like talking about
    him.  His mother has been with a lot of different men since then
    and he got pulled out of school all the time.  He was always a 
    quiet kid but he got through school OK.  HIs mother makes costumns
    for stars so he has been around many celebrities as he was growing
    up.  He has two sisters, one trains and raises horses and I dont'
    remember what the other one does.
    
    There has been some speculation on if KR is a homosexual.  This is not
    true, however his first movie (or one of his very early movies) he
    played a homosexual and apparantly there is a rather explict scene
    of kissing and touching in it.  The movie has turned into a cult
    film that is very popular in the gay communities.  The name of the film
    is "Wolf____" something.  KR likes women, but he doesn't date much--
    he said something like "why bother unless its the real thing?" and he
    doesn't care for going to the HOllywood parties.
    
    His best friend was River PHoenix and he is still having a hard time
    dealing with death. 
    
    They had a lot more information on him, mostly talking about his
    different films and how he got the parts and where he is going etc.
    It was a pretty good and complete article.  I wasn't real happy
    with the pictures.  It looks like they went out of the way to make
    him look gross and dirty.

    I like KR, but I must admit Brad is the  better actor and the better
    looking.

    Oh no, don't start Sharon off on Brad Pitt ;-)
    
    CHeers,
    Dan

He had a good small role as a drug-addled moron in "I Love You to Death", the
Tracey Ullman / Kevin Kline comedy.






(Yeah, I know...)

    I kinda liked his performance in Speed:  someone who just knuckles down
    and gets the job done.  (I don't know if it was intentional, but it
    worked for me.)  So far, though, his best work has been playing spacey
    adolescents, where he seems to have a natural aptitude.
    
    I saw a preview for A Walk in the Clouds, and he didn't do anything
    that made me wince.  So it has possibilities.

    Of course it's all a matter of taste, but I think Bill & Ted's was
    about the best of KR's roles. He definitely comes across (to me) as
    being thick as two planks, which was perfect for the aforementioned B &
    T movies. In other roles, well I guess He's OK, but I wouldn't go out
    of my way to see a movie on the basis of his prticipation.
    
    In the area of promising young(ish) male actors, I think Johnny Depp is
    amongst the most interresting around right now. He's not afraid to get
    involved in very risky and different roles, and seems to do pretty well
    every time.
