Theater Whore: Keanu

Keanu 7/10

Spoilers! There is this weird new thing in comedy movies where they manage to make better and visually clearer action sequences than movies billing themselves as action films. Keanu stars Jordan Peele as Rell, a guy that was just dumped by his girlfriend and miserable until he finds a kitten and names it Keanu. Keegan-Michael Key plays Clarence who has a hot ass wife played by Nia Long and a family. He heads over to Rell's to cheer him up an meets Keanu. I totally skipped over the beginning action scene with the Allentown Boys played by Key and Peele. I shit you not, I would watch a movie starring two creepy looking long haired assassins that say nothing. That whole first scene was amazing.

Theater Whore: Nebraska

Nebraska 6/10

The other night Cam called and asked me if I wanted to check out a movie I'd never heard of which seems to be the case the past few months. It is a movie called Nebraska and is about a son and family dealing with a father that is suffering from what for all intents and purposes Alzheimer's. I had no idea that this was in black and white and actually didn't really mind. I'm an adult. I watch movies that aren't in color, have subtitles, and don't always have explosions

David played by comedian Will Forte goes to deal with his father Woody Grant played by Bruce Dern who can't seem to keep his ass at home and keeps wandering around town. Why? Because he wants to go to Lincoln, Nebraska because he thinks he won a million dollars from a sweepstakes. No matter what anyone tells him he thinks he now has this money to get a new truck (he doesn’t drive anymore) and a compression machine (he hasn't had one since 1974). His mother Kate played by June Squibb is pissed that David is wasting his time with his dad and not helping her out.
