I used to make it a point to see every one of Keanu's movies but I don't like romantic movies (like, at all - I'm very much a 'guy' in my movie choices - I want chases, explosions, and (gun)fights, and preferably, no romantic relationships, particularly ones that happen in the movie over what seems to be a very short amount of time), and I think the last ones of his I saw was "A Walk in the Clouds", "The Matrix: II", and the lawyer one*, which I can't remember the title of any more. I do find it amusing that Joss Whedon rewrote the script for Speed after Keanu said, "This is good, make it better". I thought after I found that out, I could see some of Whedon's humor in it.

I'm not surprised about the Dark Willow thing mirroring Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix, considering the fanboy Whedon is. That was another thing that kind of bothered me; yeah, I get the whole 'absolute power' fable, but the way it was shown, like it was a drug she couldn't resist? That really bothered me. I had a hard time with the most stable character in the series going evil.
