...accompanied by cheap drums, whiny trumpets, and Ruff Ryder synths. While his new rush-released album, “Right About Now: The Official Sucka Free Mix CD,” unfortunately maintains this holding pattern of mediocre beats (with the exception of the tribal drum Kanye-esque meta-rap of the title track), it is not as unlistenable as “Struggle”; at times Kweli’s ’97-’98 brilliance shines through.

The directorial debut of Shane Black--the highest-paid screenwriter of the early to mid-'90s (Lethal Weapon, Last Action Hero), who hadn't worked in six years--Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang pairs Kilmer with Robert Downey Jr. in a very meta film-noir detective story in which the narrator is constantly interrupting to apologize for various film clichs. Kilmer plays Gay Perry, a private investigator who's gay and named Perry...
