Well, I got sucked into watching MIAMI VICE
last night because the commercials used Phil Collins
as background music.

AND AM I GLAD I DID !

It's a show about a pair of cops (one from NYC and one from Miami)
who end up working with each other to nail a slime-ball South-American
drug kingpin that leaves bodies wherever his white line leads.

Even though it dealt with a really scuzzy subject (drug-smuggling)
the show was fast, well edited, with stunning cinematography (if
that applies to non-theater productions).

If anyone has ever seen THIEF, the movie with James Caan, you
probably have a good idea how the mixture of great visuals and tight music
(by Tangerine Dream) can make a film.

MIAMI VICE  falls into this category.  It's too bad it didn't come
out in the theaters first.  A lot of work went into the premier episode
and made one hell of a good impression!  Let's hope that it can stay
as good as a series.
-- Others have tried and failed.

Getting the air-sickness bags prepped for the new season...
