Lightspeed (2006)
So bad I am embarrassed
This was the worst movie I have seen on sci-fi and they are notorious for producing the worst movies ever.
I cannot believe Stan lee put his name on this but after seeing who wants to be a superhero I now know.
I will start with the plot. Flash meets Darkman nuff said, nothing original. Casting, our lead hero has a comb over and looks like he's pushing 50 plus. The henchman look like no-budget porn extras. And the effects were ridiculous, even the Flash TV series from 16 years ago had better effects. If this was made in the 1950's that would explain the really bad special effects. The story and dialog you can imagine is par with the rest of the production value. Okay the worst thing was our hero's costume, he goes to a sporting goods store and the salesman goes in the back and gets his suit, that's it. And it looks like a costume from a homemade comic book fan movie. I would say I liked the python character until his comical fight scenes.
Watching QVC is more entertaining.
Miami Vice (2006)
Absolutely riveting, this one rocks the theater
Incredibly realistic and raw. For those expecting to see a rehash of the 80's TV series (which I loved) you will be disappointed.
It's very much closer to the a real life portrayal of the life of vice detectives. I was expecting the slow mo dramatic showmance shots of Crocket and Tubbs cruising down the streets in hot pursuit to a bumping sound track. But instead got realism which drew me in and made me feel every ounce of emotion these characters felt. Don't get me wrong there are moments of surreal romantic emotion to a great soundtrack, and there are speed boats and exotic foreign sports cars.
This is one of those few movies that stays in your thoughts well after you have left the theater, which is a rare treat. Unfortunately most of the studio blockbusters flee from your thoughts the moment you exit the dark theater as your eyes begin to adjust to the light outside. Not this one.
A rare surprise and one you need to see on the big screen because it will suck you in. 10/10
