Running Dialogue #23: THE EAGLE and Valentine’s Day Movies

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 14th, 2011 at 2:28 pm

In our first Running Dialogue of 2011, Curt and I talk about The Eagle and since neither of us saw Just Go With It, we use the occasion to suggest Valentine’s Day movies that are actually worth your time.  I also go on a mini-rant about the crappiness of romantic comedies.  We wrap up with recommendations for Atlanta folks that they should see the animated short The Lost Thing and the one-night-only re-release of Memento. Two quick notes:  We had a minor technical difficulty in recording this episode, but I assure you that we did not record this at the bottom of a deep, dark hole.  Secondly, for those who are missing the sultry sounds of Russ Fischer’s voice, fear not: he will return in our next episode.

Keanu Reeves Guilty of HENRY’S CRIME

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: August 31st, 2009 at 9:36 pm

Keanu Reeves is known for many things.  He’s so zen that many consider his brain is on stand-by.  He will always be known for fantastic action movies like “Point Blank”, “Speed”, and “The Matrix”.  I also know him because I come to his defense every time someone says he can’t act and then I have to tell them to watch “The Gift” even though I don’t think it’s a very good film but I think Reeves is one of the few positive contributions.

But I wouldn’t say Keanu is known for comedy.  Oh, he’s had some hilarious films but I’m pretty sure movies like “Johnny Mnemonic”, “The Watcher”, and “Chain Reaction”, weren’t intentionally comedic.  Now it looks like Keanu is going to try and make us laugh with “Henry’s Crime”.  Find out if you can enjoy Keanu without irony after the jump.
