The Nice Guys (2016)

Jack and I laughed long and hard at this violent farce about an odd couple of crooked private eyes in 1977 Los Angeles who join up to find a missing girl. With spot-on acting by Ryan Gosling (last blogged in The Big Short) and Russell Crowe (most recently in Noah), it has terrific production values and a soundtrack that doesn't quit (more on that in a moment). In supporting roles we have a botox-ed Kim Basinger (won an Oscar for L.A. Confidential (1997) in which she co-starred with Crowe; I also liked her a lot in Never Say Never Again (1983), The Man Who Loved Women (1983), The Natural (1984), Fool for Love (1985), 9½ Weeks (1986), Blind Date (1987), My Stepmother Is an Alien (1988), Batman (1989), Cool World (1992), Ready to Wear (1994), 8 Mile (2002), The Door in the Floor (2004), and Cellular (2004)), Margaret Qualley as the missing girl and Jack Kilmer in a cameo (they are offspring of Andie MacDowell and Val Kilmer respectively, and both appeared in Palo Alto).

Director/co-writer Shane Black (last helmed Iron Man 3) is no stranger to action pictures but he works well without sci-fi in this case from the script co-written with Anthony Bagarozzi (his debut; however, he has three upcoming projects).

Some of the movie was shot in Atlanta, but most of it used actual LA locations and the geography seemed right to me, other than one driving scene where they put the Roxy east of Tower Records (it was a couple of blocks west--I lived near there from 1982-2001) on the Sunset Strip. There are a few slight anachronisms, including the use of 911, but they won't detract from your enjoyment.

A five minute preview of the score by John Ottman (most recently scored X-Men: Days of Future Past) and David Buckley (worked on The Brothers Grimsby) can be streamed from this link, but what you're likely to remember are the wonderful 1970s songs, listed here and available for preview here.

We're in complete agreement with Rotten Tomatoes, whose critics average 90% and audiences 82, and recommend this for those who can stomach the gore.

Iron Man 3 (2013)

We saw this three weeks ago and I think we liked it. Iron Man's alter-ego Tony Stark is at his most vulnerable, literally and figuratively, now that he admits he loves his aide Pepper Potts plus he keeps having problems with that metal suit. Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow, playing Stark and Potts with possibly more nuance than before, were both last blogged in The Avengers. Don Cheadle (most recently in Flight) returns as Colonel James Rhodes and Jon Favreau gives up the director's chair (last directed Cowboys & Aliens) to Shane Black but appears as Potts' amusingly fussy security chief Happy Hogan (Favreau's most recent acting gig was People Like Us). Ben Kingsley's (last in these pages in The Dictator) villain is also something to watch, from his "You will neverrrr seeeee meeee coming" in the trailer, to the middle of the movie when more is revealed. But there are at least as many outstanding action scenes as there are dramatic ones. As it should be.

Shane Black wrote the first Lethal Weapon (1987) (he submitted it in 1984 at the age of 22), co-wrote Lethal Weapon 2 (1989), directed and adapted the screenplay for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) which also starred Downey, and earned $4 million for writing Renny Harlin's The Long Kiss Goodnight ( I didn't see it). Apparently one of his trademarks is movies set at Christmastime and this is no exception. Drew Pearce (probably no relation to Guy Pearce (last in Prometheus), who appears as Aldrich Killian) makes his feature debut sharing screenplay duties with Black.

I turned my head to whisper something to Jack and missed the mandatory Marvel movie Stan Lee cameo. He didn't have a line this time. Watching it here ahead of time is no spoiler.

The exciting music by composer Brian Tyler (91 credits and I've never heard of him--it can happen) can be heard by starting here and following up numerically from links on the right side of the page.

Though doubtless better on the big screen, it's not high art either (78% from critics and 83 from audiences on rottentomatoes) and can wait for high quality home viewing. Oh, and I don't need to tell you to wait for a bonus scene after the credits, do I?

Kisses (2008)

Not exactly sweet, this tale of neighbors Dylan and Kylie, Irish preadolescents who escape their abusive suburban lives for a night on Dublin's streets searching for Dylan's runaway brother is thoughtful and beautifully photographed (by director/writer Lance Daly, Jake Corbett, and David Grennan, all uncredited). Daly does take credit for the subtitles, helpful for us Yanks (though not every line is captioned--go figure). It sounds depressing but has its light moments amid the squalor and humor amid the tragedy.

Two things to watch for: it begins in black and white, but this isn't Oz, with a dramatic switch to color. It happens gradually. You can decide for yourself what the dramatic turning points are. Also, prolific Irish actor Stephen Rea (just seen in Ondine) is uncredited in a cameo. I spotted him immediately, but thought I was mistaken when his name didn't appear at the end. Imdb confirmed my sighting. About halfway through the short running time (72 minutes) a busker teaches Dylan about his namesake Bob Dylan, and then tunes from Bob's oeuvre accompany many scenes following.

To describe the talented young stars, I've copied and pasted from the press kit (it did not have the hoped-for music credits, but if you want to read the whole thing you can download it from the bottom of this link): "As the filmmakers were coming to the final stages of casting, during which they visited scores of schools and saw over a thousand children, they set up a test to find their Kylie – they placed an uncomfortable wooden chair in the middle of the room with a padded leather one set over by the wall. All of the girls who came in to read for the part sat where they were told, in the uncomfortable chair, except for Kelly O'Neill, who almost immediately crossed the room to the better chair and dragged it into place. This act of independence immediately endeared the budding actress to the filmmakers." "Casting director Nick McGinley saw over a thousand children, choosing the most independent, headstrong characters with the strongest personalities. In the process of casting Kylie, Kelly O'Neill emerged as a front runner, but the filmmakers were worried that the prospective young Dylans would be overshadowed by her larger than life presence. She instructed her potential co-stars to make her tea and bring her biscuits during auditions - instructions which most followed without question. The only candidate who seemed immune to Kelly steamrolling them with the sheer force of her personality was Shane Curry, who without a second's thought told her to get lost and make her own tea."

In limited release, it made a rare appearance this side of the pond, and will be out soon on video, when you can enjoy it yourself. It gives more proof to Jack's assertion: someone else's family is always worse than yours.
