City of Angels

the STARE!

Don't rent it

Reviewer: Joe Casaletto

I don't rent these type of movies too often, but I took a chance. Elizabeth and I made popcorn and snuggled up on the couch all prepared for a romantic movie.
I couldn't take it for very long at all. Nicholas Cage must have taken this movie as a break, because he certainly didn't do any acting. He is an invisible angel who STARES at Meg Ryan for two hours. Not a romantic stare, not lustful, not jealous, or anything else, but with a completely blank zombie-type expression about two inches from her face. At least it was good as comedy material. I was giving Elizabeth the "zombie-stare" for days after we saw this.
