My Guilty Pleasure has posted a piece on The Lake House starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock for the Film Blog section of The Guardian. He had some nice things to say about the film as well as Keanu Reeves. Some of the money quotes include:
…here is something wonderful about watching the relationship between two people grow through nothing but the written word, seeing the gradual intimacy develop, witnessing the (in this case temporal) distance between them shrink to become the closeness of love.
Keanu. Something of a guilty pleasure all to himself… I am of the generation that has grown into middle-age along with him, and seen him negotiate the media glare with dignity and a humbling lack of ego.
here is an innate quality in him that has something to do with goodness, with decency, and with kindness, that no amount of acting can hide, and in The Lake House, freed of the sci-fi/action corset the actor often trusses himself up in, that quality is allowed to breathe.
