Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang * * /


It doesn't matter whether or not if the killer killed her or not, or even if the plot line is somewhat interesting, it only matters if Robert Downy Jr. looks like a crazy, pessimistic character like he does in all his movies. Wait, that's not right! Well apparently "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" thinks so. We sit through 90 minutes of this film watching Robert Downy do what he does best, the same darn thing over and over again.
The story follows one of what the film claims a film noir. Robert Downy plays a thief who accidentally becomes an actor to be undercover from cops. He moves to Hollywood to film a detective film, and there he meets an old friend who befriends him while also works with a semi-gay cop to prepare for the role. Suddenly, his friends sister dies and he is somewhat involved. This films plot works however we are constantly led through by the annoying narration of Robert Downey Jr. as himself.
I feel that the story explains itself, however it is downgraded to the amount of narration and cheesy gay jokes that float around. The movie is not at all cut out as it thinks it is. Even better mystery to solve: why am i not appealed to this. I hope you can solve it.

"A film is a petrified fountain of thought."
Jean Cocteau

Never have these words been more true. Alas this blog. A blog about the great art form known as the movies. Have you ever walked into a crowded theater, see a great movie, and walk out wanting to tell people about it? Well this is the place. Here I will be posting reviews to films you write or any that i have seen to show to the public whether or not they should see it. I also plan on writing about great movies and any other film i think is well deserving.
My goal is to educate today's youth about past films and the films we have today, because sadly, we are not in the golden ages of Hollywood any more and less and less people are watching the great movies. Movies educate us to the highest degree. They make us think, gain knowledge, and sometimes change our lives. If you have any suggestions or anything you think would be great for this blog (this is my first time using a blog, so help would be very nice) just email me at edunnl@aol.com
