Whoa! Keanu's deep!
"We look for some magic solution to fix ourselves but none of us really know what we're doing. And why is that so bad? That's all we humans can do. Guess, try, hope...Just pray you don't find yourself thinking you've got the answer. Because that's bullshit. The trick is living without an answer...I think."--Dr. Perry Lyman (Keanu Reeves), Thumbsucker
I watched the DVD last night. Released in the US last year, Thumbsucker probably won't be shown here because it's not a blockbuster or event movie. It's one of those quiet funny movies that packs a wallop. I loved Keanu's character, even though he's not the lead. He plays a hippie orthodontist in the movie, complete with weird hair, sitjar music whafting into his clinic, and the requisite psychobabble. The Buddha, Neo, Constantine, Ted...for some reason, Keanu fits these mystical otherworldly characters (OK, maybe Ted as an otherworldly character is stretching it a bit). Up to now, I still can't decide if he's a fantastic actor disguised as a doofus or the other way around. He's hard to figure out. One thing's for sure though--he's cute! ;)

10 Reasons Keanu Rules
"10. He's smart. No, really.
He can talk about the differences between the theories of Schopenhauer, Hegel, and Kant. "
ehehe. Sige na nga. By Wired Mag no less.
Thumbsucker was fun though. The sight of Vince Vaughn was a laugh riot.

Oh yeah! Vince Vaughn was great! I thought casting him as a debate teacher no less, was pure genius!
