Strange yet something that validates my transition: I got invited to a baby shower.

I was so excited for DARK CITY I saw it twice in theaters, even though I was disappointed the first time. I suppose I was trying to convince myself to love it in spite of my reservations. As a result I remember it pretty clearly, anyway.

So let's not bury the lead - Richard O'Brien in a substantial supporting role! (Naturally as a creepy pale bald man.) I thought he was fabulous and his character was interesting... and the same could be said for William Hurt's and Kiefer Sutherland's characters. The entire film could have comfortably revolved around those three - yet instead we spend most of our time with boring Rufus Sewell. As a result, 100 minutes marches by mechanically and (as Dr. Whom suggests) a lot of detail feels like it hit the cutting room floor. Nevertheless we spend long moments on that NYC pier with Sewell and Jennifer Connelly, who would return to the exact same pier for very similar long moments in REQUIEM FOR A DREAM two years later.

DARK CITY simply doesn't work in its theatrical cut... was there ever a greatly expanded version released? But yeah, it does have cool images and ideas, and Richard O'Brien doing one of the things he does best.

^ I couldn't get in to Dark City. I think it was too goth I can't remember. wrong combination of elements for my taste

Angel of Mine (2019)- The "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" scenario strikes again. I just recently saw a different foreign film (this one is Australian) that had the same thing where a woman who is overtly mentally ill claims something super far fetched and everyone in her life can't decide if they believe her or not. Here, a woman thought her daughter had died in a fire at a hospital, but now thinks a girl she saw in the park is her.

Kind of slightly more cerebral Lifetime with good acting and even some campy stuff like when the little girl wipes out while ice skating and slides across the ice like knocked out Popeye or something. One movie I keep coming back to lately is Orphan, which kind of set the bar for ridiculous, unfathomable, but entertaining plot stuff. There is some of that here.

It does what it's supposed to, which isn't much.

4/5
