If October is prime time for horror movies, what should folks binge in November? Thanksgiving movies? Christmas movies? Planes, Trains And Automobiles 24/7? If you’re Milwaukee Film, the answer is a little more unlikely, but a lot more enjoyable: Keanu Reeves movies.
Enter “Keanuthon,” lighting up the screens of the Oriental Theatre throughout the month of November. There are plenty of different flavors of Keanu on tap: funny Keanu (Bill And Ted’s Excellent Adventure), dramatic Keanu (River’s Edge), period-piece Keanu (Dangerous Liaisons), and a whole lotta action Keanu (all four Matrix flicks). Does “Keanuthon” close with an all-day John Wick marathon? Yes it does. Will the screening of Johnny Mnemonic be in black and white and come complete with an appearance from the film’s director? Yes it will. Is the whole thing proudly sponsored by Milwaukee Record? YES IT IS.
Here’s the full schedule. All screenings take place in the Oriental’s Herzfeld Cinema, unless otherwise noted. Get tickets to individual films (and/or the John Wick marathon) HERE.
