Miami Vice



and

Scoop



Throwing caution to the wind, which should I go to see first? Scoop got slightly better reviews although half the reason I wanted to go was Scarlett and the reviewer said she was bad.

It's hard for me to believe Michael Mann made a truly bad film.

Nice choices. I've always liked both Woody's and Michael Mann's work, and I'm sure the new Miami Vice has a classy and at the same time gritty feeling, just like it should. I'm not exactly a huge fan of Farrell though. Let's hope he hasn't sunk the whole thing.

I'm actually more worried about Jamie Foxx. I don't like him and if he plays this wrong, it could be like Bad Boys.

I don't think he'll goof it up. But I think I know what you mean; he probably won't be able to give as much weight to his character as Denzel Washington gave to his in Training Day for example.

What amazes me is that they overlooked Jason Patric when they were casting for the Sonny character. He's basically played the exact right type with great success in both Rush and Narc. Maybe that's why they ignored him; they felt he was overexposed.

I've never seen either of those, but I've heard of them. However, I did see Patric in Your Friends & Neighbors. I don't know if I've seen him in anything else, though.

nobody can replace the original

I def. want to see Scoop, but Miami Vice looks like a big pile of crap.

CarrieLee said:

Michael Mann is an incredible director! The Insider and Heat. Need I say more?

kidelrich said:

Director aside, it's MIAMI VICE


with that fucking tool Colin whatever




A pound of ganja wouldn't even get me to enjoy that film.

i'm going to see Miami Vice tomorrow!

jerseykrs said:

You do know that this Miami Vice is nothing like the show, right? But if you said "with that fucking tool Jamie whatever", I'd agree.

actually, the reviews i have read of scoop have been 3 stars, B or B+ kind of range

Cool. Rotten Tomatoes has them both at roughly 50%.

The ones I've seen seem to be 2-2.5 stars (outta 4). It looks very schticky (more from the Small Time Crooks side of the Woodman's oeuvre than the Crimes & Misdemeanors one).

That said, I'll be seeing it tonight.

I want him to go back to his 70s comedy roots. Or more stuff like Match Point and Crimes. I did like Manhattan Murdery Mystery, though.

kidelrich said:

As much as I still get a kick out of things like Love & Death, I prefer the more weighty Wood Man.


There's always something I enjoy in every Woody, but that ranks near the bottom for me.

I liked Miami vice,,,the story was Predictable,,& a bit hard to keep track of the bad guys,,but it was nice looking..Colin got WAY more screen time than jamie...but i saw jamies ASS!..whooo-hooo!
I thought the shoot outs were good especialy the "trailor park" scene~~

kidelrich said:

That's what I read also--the only similarity to the TV show is the name.

purplerein said:

So True! Crockett and Tubbs were the shit! Loved me some Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas .

I wanted to see Scoop, guess I'll wait for the dvd.

CarrieLee said:

I love you!

These two look sure to suck ass IMO however you can't always believe the reviews - I laughed all through Nacho Libre & they ripped that one to shit...
