Dear Eddie Murphy,
I heard about Dreamgirls and I finally thought you were on the road back. Especially back to performances like this…
But then I see the trailer for this Norbit Mess.
Way to get a girl’s hopes up.

What the hell were you about?
Dear Miami Vice,
What the hell were you about?
While some critics are raving about Michael Mann throwing the idea of a solid narrative out of the window I was trying to focus on the damn story for more than 2 minutes without the film stock changing suddenly.
Now the 2 Giant Blue Hawaiis and gut full of fancy vittles I had was not the only reason I fell asleep for 15 minutes (last time I did that was during Pokemon 3…don’t ask) and when I woke up the Chinese-Cuban woman whose mother died in Africa that had an Italian name was meeting Colin Farrell to make out in the back of an SUV in Bolivia. After that it got confusing.
My Homeslice Lori and I gave up on the story and instead gauged the order in which the movie was filmed by Jamie Foxx getting darker and lighter throughout the movie. We also discussed his ZZ-Top beard and heckled the screen in general.
Now for the facts the following statements are true about Miami Vice:
- Colin could have skipped the facial hair…very Manson and I don’t mean Marilyn.
- You can tell alot of money went into the cinematography..A whole new camera technique was created for the movie. If it was easier to follow I would have appreciated it more.
- The “bad” guys were not believable. They needed some Walken or Tim Robbins in that mess.
- Newly Sober gym going Colin Farrell + running = sexy
- You are supposed to put the following in the beginning of a film
That way I will know the movie has started. Not doing so doesn’t make me feel like you’ve dropped me right into the action with two Miami street cops, it makes me feel like they pressed the wrong button in the projection room.
Love,
Me
