Each and every month, we here at Sound On Sight dedicate the entire month to a specific theme. Sometimes we follow an event, an actor, a filmmaker and so on, as decided by our readers who vote on our monthly poll. February of 2013 was dedicated to actor Keanu Reeves. When the results came in, just about everyone was surprised that Keanu won over Steven Soderbergh, who finished a close second. But what has been even more surprising is that our Keanu Reeves marathon is without a doubt the most successful so far – driving in more traffic than the likes of Quentin Tarantino and 007.
Despite the fact that his acting has frequently been ridiculed as wooden, Keanu has always had a magical presence everywhere he appears, both on and offscreen. There is something to be said about a man who dropped out of high-school to follow his dreams of acting, and 27 years later,...

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure
Directed by Stephen Herek
Written by Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon
1989, USA
History is about to be rewritten by two guys who can’t spell…
Since its release in 1989, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure inspired a sequel (Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey), a Saturday morning cartoon, a comic book series, and launched actor Keanu Reeves into movie stardom. That is excellent enough reason to explain why Bill and Ted went on to become a cult classic of epic proportions. But why is this film so loved even today?
Bill & Ted doesn’t exactly have the most sophisticated of plots: This shaggy dog story follows a pair of teenage airheads, Ted “Theodore” Logan (Keanu Reeves) and Bill S. Preston (Alex Winter), in risk of flunking out at high school, if they don’t pass history. Along comes George Carlin from the future, equipped with a time...

What makes a New Yorker? It’s a city unlike any other with citizens unlike any other. People who love the city, know the city, and (most importantly) are able to survive the city. But who earns the right to tout the coveted title “New Yorker?”
This is the question debated by the cast of How I Met Your Mother. After jumping at the opportunity to catch a glimpse of Woody Allen, Robin’s heritage and national affiliation is brought into light once again. Despite her recently-acquired American citizenship and six years of residence in Manhattan, Robin’s status as a New Yorker is still invalid to her friends. More than just living in the city, several rites of passage must be traversed before one truly belongs. Ted believes the honor is bestowed after stealing a taxi from someone else. Lily argues the title is earned by crying on the...

Before we start, there are going to be some spoiler-type things in this review, though since there is little surprising about the film itself, and most fans will already know what’s going to happen, it shouldn’t be a problem. If you like Twilight go and see the film then come back and read this, if you don’t, don’t bother with the film but read this so that you have a rough idea of what’s going on in New Moon. So. New Moon is full of subtle deconstructions of preconceived assumptions people have about vampires, werewolves, the series itself and indeed pop culture. Having been angered by the first film’s pseudo-religious message of abstinence and its regressive look at gender roles (which we’ll come to in a bit) I was ready to find the same themes and conflicts stretched out across another two hours.
