April 11 movie: Johnny Mnemonic. This movie was a mess, but it was a stylish mess. Technology has unfortunately advanced fast enough to make the plot seem silly, but you can see the kernel of a good story in there, struggling to get out. Keanu Reeves is great, as long as he isn't talking, and the supporting cast includes just about everybody: Udo Keir, Henry Rollins, Ice T, even Takeshi Kitano! That was the bonus surprise of the movie for me, because I didn't know who he was the first time I saw it. Unfortunately he doesn't get to do much. But still, Takeshi Kitano!
