Nope. It hasn't gotten a wide release. I wish it would!

What did you guys think of Clean And Sober?, Its said to be Keaton's greatest performance.

Keaton was hilarious in Multiplicity. BTW, did any of you know that Keaton & Christopher Reeve both starred in Speechless? I wanted to include that b/c it's awesome to have the two best actors to play the two most well loved superheroes in live action films in a film together. It's not very often that happens.

Yeah i know that they were both in Speechless which was awesome but i would have loved to have seen them as Batman and Superman in the one movie, I know when Tim Burton was making his Superman Movie he gave a small cameo to Micheal Keaton Bruce Wayne/Batman but it wasn't the same.


Outside of the Burton Batman films, I would have to say my favourite films with  Michael Keaton are:

Mr. Mom
Clean and Sober
The Paper
Multiplicity
Beetlejuice
Jackie Brown
Desperate Measures

And his cameo in Out of Sight was cool.

I just recently watched White Noise. The film doesn't really make any sense and feels as if the writers were just making it up as theywent along.

Having said that...I really enjoyed it. ;D I like the way it was filmed and it was great to see Keaton back in action.

As for the others:

Pacific Heights: Keaton really makes you hate him in this film--which is good because he's the villain. Movie's premise has a bit of basis in reality. I give it points for originality.

Beetlejuice: One of all my time faves. Not much to say that hasn't been said already.

My Life: Haven't been able to make it through this one all the way. It's too emotional.

One Good Cop: I was disappointed because I thought it would be grittier. The film had more of an 80's feel too it and the family stuff took up too much of the plot. 

The Paper: I loved this movie. There aren't too many films about the newspaper biz but I think this one is about as good as it gets. The writing is sharp and you get a real feel for all the various characters.
