| There is not much good to say about this sappy, manipulative,
Hollywoodized, cliché-ridden love story. To sum it up: angel meets girl,
angel and girl fall in love, angel yearns to become human to get girl, and
so on and so on. more |

| What’s charming about the film are its engaging takes on life -- city,

know the narrative will be pleasantly...more |

who roam the earth. It enchanted us into feeling, understanding and
almost believing these MIB look a like's through...more |

| I've noticed something lately that I've never thought of before. Pseudo-
substance - Hollywood faking deep meanings in their films. Have you ever seen
a movie that you really enjoyed, then when you look back, you realize there
was something missing? More...more |

| City Of Angels has a few problems that left me feeling very mad. I was
mad because the rest of the film is very well done, and well acted. The
story is light, and so well told thgat you almost forgive these errors.
I didn't. more |

| In 1988, director Wim Wenders gave us WINGS OF DESIRE, a film in
French and German. Based on that film, Brad Silberling has made
his own English version. When that happens, the newer attempt is
almost always a disaster BUT in this case, despite the...more |

| Capsule Review:
A Memo to Hollywood; if you must persist in cranking out big-budget retreads
of classic foreign films, then this is the way to do it - as a subtle and

| Angels are a hot pop-culture item right now. So it was only a matter of
time before someone got around to making an adaptation of Wim Wenders'
film Wings of Desire, about an angel who falls in love with a mortal.

| Although one cannot be sure what angels look like, Nicolas Cage,
dressed from head to toe in somber shades of black, makes a most
