Nice!

nice review man! Have fond memories of this one, and it's definitely got one of the coolest explosion sequences of all time in there!

Good flick.

ooh definitely!!

One of my fave crushes from high school. Still beautiful.

I've been a Michael Mann fan since Thief, and I don't hate Miami Vice as much as most, but it defintely rests at the bottom of the stack-

Miami Vice was my most anticipated film of all time, and yes, it was disappointing, but it's not horrible. The film is daringly different from what audiences were expecting. It doesn't introduce you to its dangerous world, it just tosses you into it with no warning. It took me multiple viewings just to understand what certain terminology meant during their mission. Mann's in-depth commentary track really enlightens one as to what's going on in the film and how it relates to the real life process. However, in some ways the film is a good lesson in how too much realism can hinder the cinematic experience.

Also, the production was ridden with problems. A shoot that was scheduled for four months lasted for ten months. Colin Farrell was injured, there were shootings on set while filming in the Dominican Republic that led to Jamie Foxx fleeing the country and demanding that a new ending be shot, tropical storms and Hurricane Katrina, etc.

I think Mann's new cyber thriller with Chris Hemsworth will put him back on top.

Interesting about Chabon's Kavalier and Klay, which is fucking amazing and one of my all time favs, but I seem to remember at one point Mike Mingella wanted to adapt it. That would have been nice to see but unfortunately he passed so I guess the project died with him, but I have hope.

IT's sad cause i've only read one these books. BUt it's HAPPY cause now i have a list of things to check out!

and the secret reveal is he's really Alan Quartermain-

That is clever.

Classic!

lol loved Hot Rod

Hot rod. Really? Jesus.

Well look at it this way, you can start replacing some of his terrible choices in film with your awesome ones. It can still work. Just start weaning him.

JUST CALL IN SICK NOW-

Holy crap! Didn't even think of that when I saw they changed the release date! Is cyofreeze an option yet?

I loved it!

probably the most epic destruction scene in a film to date, it was incredible!

In Superman for All Seasons, he lifts his fists to destroy Lex's tower and then lowers it reasoning that it will solve nothing. That's Superman.

However, in the Superman iterations, especially in the animated series, he beats Darkseid near death twice, lobotomizes doomsday, almost beats Darkseid to death again, and in the comics, as Nite Owl stated, Superman had to kill Doomsday, he had to kill Zod, and in many instances he's had to kill various other villains in his life.

Superman will turn every cheek before lifting a fist to stop a villain.

To elaborate: Superman 2 had Zod and his two cronies and Lex Luthor.

The Dark Knight had Joker, Two Face, and two mob kingpins.

The Dark Knight Rises had Bane, Catwoman to a degree and Talia Al Ghul

Batman Begins further more had Scarecrow, Ras Al Ghul, and Carmine Falcone.

Semantics, semantics.

I pray for this!

HA!!!

I love it! What a neat gift from your little men.

What an awesome and sweet gift. Your boys have good taste.
