The Stoke Newington Library is a hodge podge of many things, very few of them organized. A few months ago I found William Gibson’s “Pattern Recognition” making eyes at “Sex and the Single Sister” while “Secrets of the Sexually Satisfied Woman” looked on like a jilted lover.
Today’s gem is “3 DVD’s Starring Keanu Reaves”. Three classics, if you don’t mind! This is essential cinema for the true Keanu aficionado, but a mere freebee for us less cultured Hackney dwellers.
The trio consists of “Johnny Mnemonic”, “Chain Reaction”, “Point Break”, three films I’ve shamefully never seen… until now!
Tonight I watched “Point Break”. Call me a sucker for Patrick Swayze in scuba, but this movie really grabbed me! The action was spot on, even for 1991, and the acting was decent for the most part, with the unfortunate exception of poor Keanu. But what can you do? Devote a box set of DVDs to his three worst movies, I guess?

I found your site accidentally. I am curious why you put your personal life “out” there for anyone to read. What are you trying to accomplish with this time consuming activity? I am not being critical. Just trying to “get it.”
i often ask myself the same thing… why bother? i’d like to a better writer, so in a way the blog is good practice. but even more importantly, it helps me keep in touch with friends and family abroad.
