I invented dice

I watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang the other night, and all I can say is that it is one slick mother-lover. It's Robert Downey Jr in film form (handy, what with it having him in and all)

KKBB is a murder-mystery film, narrated by Harry Lockhart, played by Iron Man, concerning the lives of Harry and Harmony, two aspiring actors, and their friendship with Gay Perry, a private eye consultant who aids actors with their careers. After Perry and Harry find a corpse in a car boot in a lake, their lives change and become a surreal adventure into investigating the corpse.

RDJ is fantastic, and is sharp becoming one of my favourite actors. In KKBB, he is a witty, cool and petty character, who's actions aren't always well thought out and often lead to more mishap. Perry, played by Batman Val Kilmer, is a sarcastic and intelligent stronghold in the group, his actions are always well thought, but are sometimes selfish and harsh. Harmony is eye-candy, they don't really give her enough depth IMO, not much past the 'independent woman' stance.

Anyway, this film made me laugh rather a lot. I didn't know what to expect from it, I'd heard a mixed bag of reviews, but I absolutely adored it. It constantly makes you smile, makes you love the characters enough to evoke strong emotions through certain actions, and most of all, it's just so cool. The use of the word cool makes me sound so old, but it really is. It's slick, suave, and would definately be a 15-year old me's favourite movie. Fuck Brad Pitt in Fight Club, Harry Lockhart pwns. (I just read he was going to be played by Johnny Knoxville, baaad, RDJ, goood).

I heartily suggest to people that you see this movie. If you liked Lucky Number Slevin, then that is child's play compared to this (child's play as in babyish, not Chucky killing n that). It's just so good. I can't see anyone disliking it, and if you do, you have no soul.
