Miami Vice

Wowee! I rented the DVD when this came out since I'd never seen it, and it got such mixed reviews, even it was a Michael Mann film. I liked the movie, but it looked like utter crap, an episode of Cops. I picked up the HD-DVD since the movie was good though, and only just got around to watching it. The difference over the DVD was astounding, everything went from muddy to sharp, razor sharp. The intentional grain is there in certain scenes, but now looks cool in contrast to the rest, instead of horrible as on the DVD. A very nice suprise for the new year.
