Not what you might think from that title..
At the fag end of what has been on the whole a pretty bloody awful year, I'm pleased to say that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is certainly the best written film I've seen all year, and probably the best of the year full stop. It makes me really really want to go back to the scriptwriting thing, and use words like "self reflexive", "autopoietic", "postmodern" and "fucks Tarantino sideways" . I'm not even going to attempt to mention the plot - it's one of those films that you feel like if you went to it 3 times in 2 days you might work out if it actually makes sense , but that doesn't actually matter - but you'd never know it was this good from the trailer, and it's practically at the end of its run, so GO GO GO NOW that's what I'm saying. And Robert Downey Jr plays Robert Downey Jr, as ever, but there's no bad in that, ever, and, my god, isn't Val Kilmer ugly now? (Nor that he ever was very cute.)
And the best line, which my audience actually clapped at, was "Oh thank god I thought it might be some kind of gay thing." But you'll have to go to know why that is so good. (oh and the dog.. NOOOO...)
This really is a really really good film - are you getting that idea?

the Dog - I just *howled* with laughter - B'ham audiences were silent. Quite sad really.
