Miami Vice - A quick review
Because I will never get back the two hours that I spent watching Miami Vice
I don't want to spen too much time reviewing this one. This review is a bit out of order cause I still haven't written about Beyond the Sea the Monday before last, but I would like to sit and muse over that one for a while before I committ to the written word. Unlike Miami Vice which I will simple spin off some shit cause frankly I have better things to be doing with my fingers*.
Ok:
Colin Farrell = sucked. He really is quite shit.
Jamie Foxx = better. Foxx has at least adapted to the stye of the movie and got a hold of the performance style that is needed, retarded and simple to understand, nothing too complicted but slightly realistic and beliveable none the less. Unlike Farrell who, well he just sucked really.
Dong Li = sexy power pussy mama. She does that well enough.
Feminist stance = whilst the men are always tough protective and rational, the power pussy is once again reduced to either a) a gushing and giggling girl when she's in love with a protective man or b) a squealing irrational liability. I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't directed by...
Micheal Mann = directed of Manhunter (the pre-Anthony Hopkins Hannibal Lecter) and something tells me in his itch to direct Miami Vice he may have used the words "I want to find the heart and soul of Miami Vice."
...
whatever.
One guy came out of the cinema saying something along the lines of "that was the best worest movie I've ever seen". Obviously this man was mental and has no right to flutter his opinion around this distingusihed film reviewer...now as much as I sprout about "good" movies. I also know all about "so bad its good"** and this is no Speed or Die Hard with Vengence or Terminator 2 or Zoolander or ...you get the gist.
Ok readership of three! List your best worest movies.
cinematography = impressive, and "gritty"...a bit unnecessary really.
Next trashy movie? SNAKES ON A PLANE
If you haven't heard of this movie yet you are not a nerd...if wanna be a nerd check this out and watch out for the line "Get these motherfucking snakes off this motherfucking plane!" Rad.
P.S. any spelling mistakes are symptomatic of the quality of the film. Its an all round experience here at movie club!
* other than typing this review! Why? What were you thinking? Oh thats just disgusting!
**not really sure about this blog but thought it was interesting anyway.

Ok, 3 "Best Worest Films"
1. Anchorman
The humour is childish, Will Farrell realy only has one acting style, and it realy was silly... But to this day, I will scream from my kitchen after a night on the booze.. "MILK WAS A BAD CHOICE!!", reflecting that I really do love that lamp.
2. Alien vs. Preditor
Ok, so the Aliens are asleep in the ancient aztec pryamid, and the human come to explore, for the name of history, or money, or some crap...there is not plot so it doesn't matter. But this coincides with a Predator 'coming of age' trip, so the Aliens and Predators kill each other, and thankfully, almost all of the humans.
3. Independence Day
Listen, i know, Jeoff Goldblum, Will Smith AND Bill Pullman, how could anything possibli go wrong? I've owned this on VHS for years, and no matter how many times I move house, I just can't seem to loose it, so it gets #3 for it's stubborniss.
My list seems a little hard to collate cause I feel like I should list Pretty in Pink written by the infamous John Hughes but I actually like John Hughes films (16 candles and The Breakfast Club) so that kinda cancels out the 'so bad its good' element.
My choices would be very gurlie I think. Films like Pretty Woman and 4 weddings and a Funeral spring to mind. But I think they are just bad and soppy...I like em cuase my mum likes them. And thats a bit weird.
Yes Matty we get to go see Snakes on a Plane...you nerd!
