Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Last night, I watched the movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

As a rather large Robert Downey, Jr. fan, I'd been hearing how amazing it was for quite awhile but still had yet to see it. When I realized it was on HBOGO last night, I was thrilled!

Although the plot is kind of difficult to follow, the acting is incredible! It was RDJ's first big (I'm using big somewhat loosely here - although it was a decent hit overseas, it wasn't much of a hit here in the US) movie post-rehab/jail/all that fun stuff. If you're a fan of Iron Man due mainly to RDJ's acting, you'll like this one, too. If you just watch Iron Man for the explosions, you might also like this one. 

Here's the trailer if you want to judge for yourself:

Perry: Look up "idiot" in the dictionary. You know what you'll find? 
Harry: A picture of me? 
Perry: No! The definition of the word idiot, which you fucking are!

Sundance Film Festival

Sundance Film Festival is a little shindig put together by Robert Redford that you may have heard of. It happens every January in Park City so, since I live here, I figured I'd check it out!

While I can't say I was the best Sundancer ever, I did make it to one premiere. I waitlisted (didn't actually buy any tickets despite signing up for the locals pre-sale) with my friend Julia and we made it into A.C.O.D., a comedy about adult children of divorce starring Adam Scott (from Parks and Recreation), Amy Poehler, Richard Jenkins, Catherine O'Hara and Jessica Alba. It was hilarious!! I highly recommend seeing it if it gets a wide release! To make things even better, I got to sit in the front row during the premiere...about three seats away from Jessica Alba!

 

Unfortunately, I got sick the second weekend of Sundance (and the first weekend was half-marathon/Las Vegas weekend), so I wasn't able to experience much of the nightlife. But, hey, that gives me something to look forward to next year!
