...desire to convey profundities. But Pippa is too good-humored and lovingly wise to be pretentious. Suky is a tragic figure, but Bello is very funny. Arkin looks silly in his flashback hairpiece, but he gives Herb the nuance he needs, irascible charm all bound up in entitlement. Keanu Reeves plays Chris, the "half-baked" son of Pippa's neighbor Dot (Shirley Knight), whose lack of guile makes him unexpectedly good company for Pippa as she loses her own social graces...

...voiceover to an upcoming action flick actually being honest: “Jean-Claude Van Damme is back in the same crap you’ve seen over, and over, and over again.” Coupling his ability to mimic LaFontaine to a repertoire of actor imitations, from Keanu Reeves to Al Pacino, Francisco is perhaps the only stand-up comedian who can act out an entire movie trailer live. His most famous faux cinematic concoction is “Little Tortilla Boy,” an action flick starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a street vendor trying to protect...

...giant spaceship hovers over a world capital, just as in The Day the Earth Stood Still. Only this time it's Johannesburg, not Washington. And the beings that emerge aren't elegant, superior dudes like Michael Rennie and Keanu Reeves; they're large, icky insect types, with wriggling worms where their noses might be.

...still had your hearing in the deafening home stretch of Revenge of the Fallen, you'd know that just about any chunk of metal can be brought back to life by merging the Matrix with its Spark. (I'm fairly sure this process has nothing to do with Keanu Reeves.

...Leonardo DiCaprio in The Beach. Later she played a studio executive opposite Nicolas Cage in Adaptation and tried to explain the plot of Vanilla Sky to Tom Cruise. Fantasy fans remember her as the icy White Witch of the Narnia films and as the soaring, fallen Angel Gabriel tempting Keanu Reeves in Constantine. Recently, and notably, Swinton has had on-screen affairs with Brad Pitt (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) and George Clooney (Burn After Reading). She was also Clooney's legal antagonist, an agribusiness executive, in Michael Clayton - a film that earned her an Academy Award for Best...
