DVD Reviews of City of Angels (Snap Case)
DVD Review: amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is one of a kind. It has such a heartfelt meaning. I don't think anyone can watch this movie and say anything derogitory about it. DVD Review: Cage is great, this story is the worst, really
Summary: 1 Stars
I really like Cage's acting. He is great in "Next" and all the National Treasure movies (I am hoping there are many of them). But I have "City of Angels" listed as the worst movie ever made. Now, why would I say that? It glamorizes the "real very first sin" and that is an angel disobeying God by rejecting the place God placed them in (the first sin was when an angel wanted God's place). Yes, I know it's just a movie but this is literally the lowest possible moral rung. There is no going back for an angel. There is no plan of redemption. A fallen angel goes from the best possible to the worst possible condition without the possibility of return. The other angels would not look upon him with any form of admiration but rather with horror at what he did to destroy himself and it would greatly negatively affect the lady if he was allowed to contact her at all at that point. He would be the worst thing for her and his "affection" would be the very opposite of true love. It is a sad, sad tale of the true beginning of all woes. This movie confuses the results of good and evil.DVD Review: city of angels
Summary: 4 Stars
We have looked for a copy of this movie in retail stores and even preowned copies at video rental establishments. We have found it twice paired with Michael on the same dvd. We own a copy of Michael, so we did not want to pay extra money for the two. We were happy to see there were a couple copies available on Amazon at a reasonable price. It was not much of a gamble for us because we have seen the movie. We were however concerned for the condition of the movie. The case was a little damaged inside and out when we received it, but the disc was in good condition. We enjoyed the movie again and have added it to our collection. Overall, this was a good buying experience from Amazon.DVD Review: City of Angels
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a different type movie, but I love watching the faces and eyes of the two characters. A bit different, but enjoyed it!DVD Review: Not worthy to tie Wim Wenders's shoelaces
Summary: 1 Stars
I love, love, love "Wings of Desire." I went to see this remake hoping it would at least approach Wim Wenders's ethereal vision and joy.
Shot "Wings of Desire" in the kneecaps is the feeling I left the theater with. Dark, dismal and downright appalling.
Please, please, please see "Wings of Desire" before you comment on this movie. You'll be doing yourself and everyone else a favor.
Description of City of Angels (Snap Case)
Seth, an angel watching over Los Angeles, begins finding his job difficult as he falls in love with Maggie, a beautiful heart surgeon.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: PG13
Release Date: 14-SEP-2004
Media Type: DVD
Some critics complained that City of Angels could never compare to Wim Wenders's exquisite German film Wings of Desire, which served as the later film's primary inspiration. The better argument to make is that any such comparisons are beside the point, because Wings of Desire was a much more deeply poetic, artfully contemplative film, whereas City of Angels is an enchanting product of mainstream Hollywood. Meg Ryan stars as Dr. Maggie Rice, a heart surgeon who is grieving over a lost patient when an angel named Seth (Nicolas Cage) appears to comfort her. She can see him despite the "rule" that angels are invisible, and Seth's love for Maggie forces him to choose between angelic immortality and a normal human existence on earth with her. Featuring heavenly roles for TV veterans Andre Braugher and Dennis Franz, the film liberally borrows imagery from Wings of Desire, but it also creates its own charming identity. Cage and Ryan give fine performances as lovers convinced they are soul mates, and although the plot relies on a last-minute twist that doesn't quite work, this earnest love story struck a chord with audiences and proved to be one of the surprise hits of 1998. --Jeff Shannon
