Friday Feeling: Keanu versus Keanu
Friday, April 11th, 2008Devil’s Advocate vs Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure
Homeboy starts off alongside Alex Winter in his mainstream cinema debut Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (Saturday, 7pm ITV2), which sees the duo travelling back in time to fetch notable figures from history including Napoleon, Genghis Khan, Joan of Arc and Classical Greek philosopher So-Crates (Socrates) in order for them not to flunk their history class; dropping out would see them not saving the world through the divine medium of Rock and Roll in the future.
The 1991 sequel was also good, but sucked a little bit by way of the inclusion of KISS on the soundtrack. FAIL.
Later that night he reappears as up and coming lawyer Kevin Lomax, in The Devils Advocate (9pm, LIVING) who after representing a highly suspect teacher in a child abuse case, undergoes a severe conscience scouring after relentlessly pursuing the American Dream; money, wealth, power. Charlize Theron and Al Pacino also star – if you’ve got Sky or Virgin and have nothing better to do this Saturday night, check it out.
