This element is one of the many appreciated Vernisms. The ‘filling in some hypothetical dots’ with some speculation/assumption:
“I bet his partner was his best friend, and now there’s just a hole there. He keeps thinking “man, I gotta tell Trevor about this” and then remembers that he’s never gonna see Trevor again because he killed him. And rightfully so.”
Made me laugh my ass off. Just like when I was reading my Seagalogy for the first time. (I still score a Seagalmovie I haven’t seen sometimes and view with the book on my lap -reading the firt half of corresponding chapter after having watched the first half of the dvd, then looking on and afterward reading the rest of the chapter. No kidding.)

Great review Vern.

I liked the Keeper. Thought al lot of the acting was wooden and some of the sound (and dialogue) was cheap sounding (but when Seagal sniffles -outside, in bushes- in medium close-up the sound is crisp). But I liked it. Reminded me of the better of the Golden Era a little.

Seagal has pulled a new one: A Dangerous Man

As promised I watched “A Dangerous Man” and actually thought that “The Keeper” was the better movie. I won’t go into a full review as that is your territory Vern but I will say that there is alot more violent thant the previous collaboration with Waxman. Waxmans directorial style seems to chang e for the worse also.
Anyway, it was entertaining enough and had very many moments worthy of Seagology lore. If it isn’t yet available in the States I will happily buy and send you a copy so you can review asap!!

Don’t know if you’ll read this Vern but I just watched “The Keeper” last night.I’m from Scotland in the UK and I just purchased this in a triple bill boxset along with “Driven To Kill” and his latest (which you haven’t reviewed “A Dangerous Man”. Great title and the cover does state that “Steven Seagal is a A Dangerous Man”!
I really enjoyed The Keeper and actually thought it was well directed and as you commented had nice moments, particarly with the daughter Nikita. Glad he didn’t shag her though. Intrestingly ,the film was directed by Keoni Waxman. He and Seagal must have hit it off as Waxman also directs A Dangerous Man. I will watch this tonight and keep you posted.
And just to let you know, UK Tv is going Seagal crazy at the moment. Lawman has just started (I will now read your reviews) and several film and television channels are doing “Seagal week” or “Seagal weekend”, most in stunning HD.
Yes,it’s a great time to be a Seagal fan!!

I wholeheartedly support the low budget SEAGALOGY commercial idea. What if some hardcore Vern fans were to pool our funds to buy some ad space and throw together a commercial? Would the publishers mind the third-party advertising? What do you folks think? Maybe we could at least buy some ad space on the show’s websight and put up a cheesy-looking ad for the book there.

I have no comment on the above piece, as I avoided reading the review (I want to go into the film fresh), but the U.S. release date for The Keeper is on Jan 19th. Just thought you all might like to know.

Vern, thanks for the review.

I am a long time Seagal fan, but new to the site. I recently purchased and read Seagalogy, and loved it. I can’t wait for you to release an update with his more recent DTV work. I am really looking forward to Lawman. The early reviews sound good. Maybe if we are lucky at some point during the show he will blow a major police bust so that he can beat the shit out of a pimp, or he could have a physical confrontation with a litterbug while wearing his fringe buck skin jacket.

If I find the time and inspiration, I will probably make a short just-for-fun Seagalogy commercial.

Long time fan of yours and hardcore Seagalogist, first time commenter. Had to contact you about what might be the most amazing development in Seagalogy in years. You obviously know about ‘Lawman”, well I saw the official online sneak preview last night, and it is completely amazing. It blew away even my sky high expectations. I’m friends with Seagal on facebook and he invited me to watch it last night. Best event ever to RSVP to. Anyway, I’m not trolling for hits, but my review of the first episode is up on my blog, and I hope you check it out. Things are looking extremely bright for the future of Seagalogy. http://fermentedfilm.blogspot.com/2009/11/if-you-arent-my-friend-on-facebook-let.html
