Movie Review: After School Special-icious!
Summary: 2 Stars
I caught this film off cable a couple years ago. It is overwhelmingly cliche, but fun despite its corniness. Some of the music is good, one song, though melodramatic, "Wishing on Another Lucky Star," performed near the end, is absolutely beautiful, and worth the viewing just to hear performed. All in all the film is so-so, it's just a little cheesy, but not mean spirited or vapid. Hey, it was the 80s, Keanu Reeves is in the movie playing a grief stricken version of his "Bill and Ted's," character (huge surprise), what more can be expected? Basically, it is a very polished (in that 80s way which is barely) after school special. Don't expext any emotional revelations from it. If you're looking for a touching movie about grief, see "Ordinary People" (or the wonderful, "Imaginary Crimes" with Fairuza Balk), if you want to see a good 80s movie, catch "Some Kind of Wonderful," but if you just want to see a watchable movie with a few cute, sappy moments, this flick is for you!Movie Review: Permanent Record with Keanu Reeves
Summary: 1 Stars
The movie may not be Keanu's best but it touched me. It is a very young and fresh Keanu who actually impressed me with his acting skills. He did a very good performance in this flick as the teenage kid living with his divorced and very absent minded father. Mostly left to himself Keanu tries to find some substance in his life with his high school friends and especially the band he plays in.
His best friend whom he admires tremendously commits suicide before his very eyes. Keanu tries to find the answers to all the questions afterwards.
