Year: 2006
Director: Michael Mann
Plot: Writer and director Michael Mann updates the groundbreaking television crime series he created in the 1980s with this stylish thriller. Ricardo Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) and Sonny Crockett (Colin Farrell) are two police detectives working undercover in Florida; Tubbs is smart, cool, and resourceful, while Crockett has his own way of doing things, though he stays close enough to the rules to stay out of trouble. Their latest assignment is to get the goods on Arcangel de Jesus Montoya (Luis Tosar), a local drug kingpin whose men are believed to be responsible for a handful of recent murders. In order to infiltrate Montoya's operation, Tubbs and Crockett pose as powerboat racers willing to use their talents to pilot drug-smuggling ships for the right price. The detectives' ruse works, but as they dig deeper into Montoya's inner circle, they become involved in a dangerous operation that will take them to Haiti and Cuba, where neither the Miami Police Force nor the United States government can help them if things go wrong. Crockett also begins walking a risky path when he begins an affair with Isabella (Gong Li), a woman high up in Montoya's organization. Miami Vice marked Michael Mann's third consecutive directorial effort with Jamie Foxx; Foxx appeared in Mann's Ali and Collateral, and has been announced to star in a future project written by Mann, The Kingdom. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Body: Based upon the one of the most influential US television shows of all time that brought us brightly colored pastel suits, New Wave music and 1980's icon Don Johnson. However, fans of the series will see a darker, less influential movie that doesn't come close to the original. Miami-Date Police Detectives "James 'Sonny' Crockett" (Colin Farrell) and "Ricardo 'Rico' Tubbs" (Jamie Foxx) have lost a former informant (John Hawks), when he commits suicide right in front of him after learning that his wife was killed by a necklace implanted with C-4 by a Columbian cartel that discovered that he was working for the FBI. The two then join the investigation, and go to Columbia undercover looking for the souped-up boats delivering the narcotics. They then go after the cartel itself, focusing on its North American contact, "Jose Yero" (John Ortiz). The two then meet the cartel's leader (Luis Tosar), and slowly learn that they are bringing the drugs into the US with the help of some Neo-Nazis. Now, the two police detectives have to bring down the organization, and take the drugs into custody before they are discovered. Let me say first, if you were around during the TV show's original run on the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) from 1984 thru 1989, you will be highly disappointed with this movie. This retelling is up-to-date and lacks the music, sense of fashion and just about everything else the classic crime drama had. Instead of the flash the TV series had, this retelling is much darker. "Sonny" and "Tubbs" aren't really dressed up in this version, and don't have the fashion sense the characters had in the original TV series. For about the first half of the movie, I felt little to no chemistry between Farrell and Foxx. It wasn't until the second half of the movie that the chemistry between any of the main players until the path to the climax became clearer. The main problem of the movie is the script. It's pretty weak. You also would expect more gun play and all around action. But it's not here until the climax of the movie. In the original TV series, Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas had great on-screen chemistry and presence. Neither Foxx or Farrell have this, and it shows -- especially in the first half of the movie. The love story subplot between "Crockett" and the cartel's financial advisor, "Isabella" (Long Li) was horribly handled in my opinion. I felt no chemistry between Farrell and Li, however, during their love scenes, which appeared to be a little short to me, there was some heat. One thing that the TV series was known for, other than the fashion, was the music. Except for a cover of a song that appeared in the first episode of the TV show, this soundtrack is forgettable. The TV show was a way for artists to showcase their music, and were handled in a wonderful way. However, the music here was basically background noise, and didn't help enhance the story like the producers of the TV show was able to do. Just like other big screen remakes of classic television shows, this is just a poor attempt at not only trying to bring the source material's magic to the silver screen, it's an all around poor attempt at rewriting what the fans of the classic TV show love. Catch this one on television, or rent this if the first few picks are unavailable. I would not put this one on your Must See list.

Body: Having missed the launch whilst on vacation, I finally sat down last night and watched all three episodes of Joss Whedon’s musical web miniseries Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog back-to-back-to-back. I had two major notes: 1. When did Joss Whedon and Michael Mann become the same guy? Dr. Horrible is a lone wolf anti-hero whose single-minded devotion to his professional obligation to save a small corner of the world (in this case, by way of organized evil) makes the very concept of romance inconvenient. Sound familiar? “Why did she talk to me now?” Billy/Dr. Horrible laments, after prospective love interest Penny makes contact right as he’s about to jump start an evil mission. This segues directly into a song with the refrain, “A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.” What Whedon does is the self-mocking, defeatist, loveable loser version of what Mann does, in terms of love as a blight on the record of men who should be above it. This leads me to my second though, regarding Dr. Horrible’s controversial ending: 2. Is the end really the end? “Barring some kind of goofy, character-defying twist like making Penny turn out to be Bad Horse, Dr. Horrible was going to end one of two ways: Dr. Horrible gets the girl, or Dr. Horrible becomes the supervillain of his dreams,” Alan Sepinwall wrote. “Joss Whedon chose the latter, and chose to have it play out in the worst way possible for poor Billy.” But by closing on the suggestion that professional success is  equivalent to feeling nothing, Whedon, again, is being very Mannian. Diminish entanglements, keep yourself to yourself, wear your sunglasses at night, etc. When a Mann film ends on that note, we are to understand that this is just the way men are supposed to move about the planet. But that final note of Dr. Horrible has a characteristic Whedon angst to it, cleverly engineered to make his superfans insist that this is not the natural end of the story. And it probably isn’t. Sepinwall talked to Neil Patrick Harris at the TCA’s, and the Dr. Horrible star said Whedon definitely plans to extend the franchise. “Joss has some strange giant master plan that includes much more than a sequel…I think we’re all giggling like little schoolgirls for a week or so and then he’ll figure out what he wants to do next.” More from Sepinwall here; also, on the Dr. Horrible site, Whedon promises he’ll have more details at Comic-Con, so we’ll pass those along from San Diego as soon as we can.

Body: Ok, I'm probably the only retard who forgot Infernal Affairs 1-3 was the basis for the Departed. That aside, this movie was fantastic. I've seen Departed - enjoyed it. But Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu-Wai have acting chops galore. Actually, the entire cast is 100% believable. It's an amazing crime drama exploring moral shades of gray in the context of undercover police work. Michael Mann's Miami Vice did that very effectively, also. But Infernal Affairs is the best undercover drama I recall seeing on DVD -- ever. (I will admit that I'm still a sucker for the undercover action flicks like Bad Boys).If you haven't had the priviledge of picking up this DVD, don't watch the trailer yet!!! I haven't seen parts 2 & 3 (which I assume won't be as good as 1), but I can't pass up buying the 3-pack DVD box from Amazon for $30.

Body: "Miami Vice"..with Michael Mann it's as much about the fantastic locations and the "boys toys" as anything isn't it?in this case, superfast boats..No need to set the characters up..we know what they do..As far as the T.V. show goes, i remember liking the title sequence with the Ferrari and the Jan Hammer music..pity he didnt get Jan Hammer (or Jan Akkermann even ),to do the score, instead we get a sub-"Nickleback" type band doing the awful "In the Air tonight" by Phil Collins..plot-wise ,there is a believable "love" story ("star crossed" ,of course, Drug dealer/undercover cop).. Colin Farrell ..great eyebrows..Li Gong... beautiful,recognised her from"2046" Jamie Foxx does very little ,very well...ultimately "eye candy", but it's Michael Mann eye candy...
