Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang

I read somewhere that Pauline Kael saw those words on a poster outside an Italian cinema. Sex and Death. Eros and Thanatos. That's entertainment. You can't depict the sublime without it, even though that seems contradictory.

Anyway, the movie was quite good. A conventional pulp story done really well and with a twist of non-meta self-reference. It took the genre and ran with it. This is one Mom and Dad would enjoy, so go ahead and recommend it kids.
