PURCHASE THE DVD: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005)

When petty thief Harry Lockhart (Robert Downey, Jr) runs into an audition while fleeing the cops his whole life changes and he's wisked off to LA and placed under the tuteledge of Gay Perry (Val Kilmer), who's supposed to teach him how to be a PI for a role. But things turn upside down when corpses start to pile up and Harry finds his childhood crush Harmony (Michelle Monaghan) in the middle of things. This is a noir-y mystery in the grandest tradition with witty dialogue and enough plot twists to give you whiplash. Shane Black makes a triumphant return to the big screen after too many years away to show he's still got the magic he showed in his early scripts (Lethal Weapon, The Long Kiss Goodnight). This film didn't open big, but hopefully that won;t stop Black from getting another crack at directing.
