Quite honestly, I was thrilled with the choices for Audience Pick Midnight this semester. While The Game, The Thing, and Mystery Men would have all been fun choices, I was so happy that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was selected. What good taste our audience has!
For those of you who have not been fortunate enough to see the film, the story follows Harry Lockhart, a thief who inadvertently becomes an actor. Lockhart stumbles into an audition while running from the cops and finds himself swept away to Hollywood. There, he must prepare for a role as a Private Investigator with the real deal, a character referred to as "Gay Perry." Throw into the mix his childhood sweetheart, murder, sex, and lots of humor, and there you have Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
If the premise doesn't sell you on the movie, (and with my description skills, that is entirely likely) I present to you 5 other reasons you should see this movie.
1) Robert Downey, Jr!!!!!!
Everyone loves him. Seriously. He has a tendency to make every movie better. Case in point: Tropic Thunder, Iron Man, Heart and Souls, and Soapdish, just to name a few. (By the way, if you haven't seen some of those, you should see them too.) As the main character and narrator of this movie, it's impossible not to like him.
2) Val Kilmer!!!!!!
Love him or hate him for past roles, he has always maintained a place in my heart. Not to mention, he steals every scene and makes the audience laugh nonstop throughout the film.
3) Amazingly witty dialogue!!!!!!
The script to this movie is fantastic! You will walk out quoting it and find yourself looking up more lines on imdb for weeks following. If you have a good sense of humor, I have no doubt you will love the dialogue.
4) It's an audience pick!!!!!!
I've been on Film Committee for about three semesters now, and I though I believe we have always selected great films for our fellow FSU students, I also believe that there is no better indicator of what the people want then letting them select the movie themselves! So, have a little faith in your fellow classmates and trust their resounding majority vote!
5) Finals are coming up!!!!!
Everyone tends to get stressed out right before the semester ends and we hit finals week. Since we will not have any entertainment for that final week of testing, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is your very last opportunity to watch a movie at the SLC before 2009! Who wouldn't want to wind down with their friends and enjoy a hilarious film with a great cast?!
So, end your semester with a bang!
A Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, that is.....*
*I apologize for using that atrociously lame joke, but seriously. Come see it.
