And just today, I went out with some of my Christmas money and bought:

S.W.A.T
The Medallion
Blade 2

And on top of all that I got Bon Jovi: The Crush Tour on DVD. So hurrah for the holidays. So what did you all get?

[reincarnationofjonspants]

Wild Things (Kevin Bacon)
Footloose (Kevin Bacon)

But i didn't ask anyone for any movies this year :) even though i did have a wish list.

I think the only dvd i got was The Unauthorized Biography of Bon Jovi or something like that -- it was crap anyways, for anyone who hasn't seen it :P

And i got the greatest movie moments dvd along with the Greates Movie Moments book...Hosted by Dustin Hoffman! 8)

I bought Police Acadamy 1 on DVD in the sales, but the man on the till in HMV actually looked at me as it to say "you're not serious are you" and laughed when i bought it :shock: :oops: Very funny film none the less

[Tashjbj]

I got money and bought everything mysef. I probably won't be able to remember them all, but here goes my attempt to;

Men In Black II, Johhny Mnemonic, Chain Reaction, Rockstar, Hollow Man (Superbit), Mortal Kombat



I hope you didn't ask for those. And remember, Keanu Reeves is not a good actor. Even in the Matrix films. Before they came along, he was on the way down. Keanu Reeves wasn't the star of the Matrix Trilogy. People didn't see those films because he was in them. Now that they are over his career is finished.

I bought them ALL myself. I wouldn't have got them if I didn't like them.

I doubt his career will be finished now, as he is already working on other things I think. None will ever be as successful as The Matrix, but other than things like Lord Of The Rings and Star Wars, what else will?

I don't think he's the best actor around, but he's not as bad as everyone seems to think he is. A lot of times he plays characters that are not really normal, so I guess it would be hard to do for anyone.

Many films have been and will continue to be more successful than the Matrix films.

Here are keanu Reeves's films and US box office takings since he filmed the first Matrix:

2000 - The Watcher, $9,000,000

2000 - The Replacements, (straight to video)

2001 - Hardball, $40,000,000

2001 - Sweet November, $24,000,000

2001 - The Gift, $11,000,000

2003 - Something's Gotta Give, $80,000,000 (Reeves is not the star of this film. It is a Jack Nicholson film.)

Apart from the Matrices, which are just films that Keanu happened to be in, rather than 'Keanu Reeves films', it doesn't look like a healthy career to me. Maybe you will have to get used to Keanu Reeves doing independent films, rather than the 'blockbuster' types that you seem to enjoy.
