Hawk’s Babble-Log

Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Val Kilmer, Michelle Monaghan, Corbin Bernsen, and Ali Hillis.

Directed by Shane Black.

A fairly fun and entertaining film. I loved the way it was narrated. It was narrated as if the narrater knew it was a movie and knew that he was narrating to an audience, and just ran with it. Very lighthearted and sarcastic and funny.

It’s all about a girl named Michelle Monaghan. No, I’m kidding. Michelle Monaghan is in the movie, and that’s one of the best reasons to see the film, but it’s not all about her. She is one of the hottest girls I’ve ever seen–hands down. Here she is in a cute little Christmas costume (with a gun!). Is that awsome, or what?!? Most recently she plays Tom Cruises’s sweetiepie in Mission Impossible III.

Anyway… It’s really about two different murder/suicide cases in L.A. which, at first, don’t seem to be connected (but they are!). Robert Downey Jr. plays one of the main characters, a petty thief who accidentally gets potentially cast for a part in a movie. That’s how he gets to the party. I’ll leave the film to fill in the details, which are really funny.

At the party, he meets a private detective with a gigantic sarcastic streak running straight up his gay ass, played by Val Kilmer, a really funny guy. It’s his task to give the other guy some “detective lessons”.

Eventually, the main character spys Michelle Monaghan’s character (and how can you miss her?), kinda falls for her, tails her to a bar, and kinda meets her. Then she makes him recognize her; as it turns out, they’re both from the same town! The main character ain’t the sharpest bowling ball in the film.

Speaking of Michelle Monaghan, here’s another pic of her. Sorry, I can’t help it! She’s just so cute! By the way, pay attention to this book that she’s reading. It’s kinda important to the mystery-type story line. Important to her and to her sister. You’ll see what I mean if you watch the film.

Anyway, it’s a very fun movie and worth the rental. I might even buy it if I can find it for a good price. After all, it’s got Michelle Monaghan!

Hey, did I mention that it stars Michelle Monaghan?

Okay, just checking.
