b'Happy Holidays! The second of our "Christmas-Adjacent" films moves us into the 21st century for an all-star team-up! Directed by Shane Black, 2005\'s "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" tells the the story of small-time criminal Harry Lockhart (Robert Downey Jr.) who, when fleeing from the police after a botched burglary, runs into an audition for a Hollywood film. Cut to Los Angeles, Harry has been flown out by agent Darby Shaw (Larry Miller) to audition for a detective film. At an L.A. party, he meets power-broker Harlan Dexter (Corbin Bernsen) and local private detective "Gay Perry" (Val Kilmer).
