Blog From The Bench

I've wanted to get a minute to start my blog up for a while now - and the time has come!

Just a quick note in defense of Miami Vice (better late than never). I know it's officially a 'flop', a cautionary tale off to DVD Prep. But I think - and it might take some time - this is going to be recognized as one of the great undercover cop movies of all time. It's half art-film, half cop-drama, and all kinds of awesome. There's nary a word of exposition, lots of interesting musical chices, feats of cinematography never before seen on the big screen, and some truely satisfying kill-shots. The TV show was revolutionary when it came out, and I think this is too.

If you've got some free time this weekend, I encourage you to catch it while it's still in the theatre. You won't be dissapointed.
