Dark City Re-release
According to this page, someone is redoing the effects and re-releasing this hated-or-loved film from the late 1990's. I was not too impressed with the original, but I will give it a shot.

I like it well enough...although I'm not quite sure I've ever seen the whole thing from start to finish in one sitting.
(Seems like I always find it on from about the last hour or half, or start to watch it and have to leave to do something, etc. I have seen ALL of it, tho. )
Not sure why the effects have to be redone, though.
(Haven't read the link yet.)

I liked the movie right up until the end, where the main character discovers that he has this mental uber-mental power that makes him stronger than the bad-guys, only he didn't know it.
Great movie up til then though. Then it turns into a KJA book.

I dunno. Rufus Sewell and Kiefer Sutherland are in it.SandChigger wrote:Only without the midget metamorphosis.

I saw this in the theater when it was released. But hell, a decade is too long ago for me to remember much detail. I just remember thinking it was really bizarre, almost too bizarre to bear, but I also remember walking out of the theater feeling there was something brilliant about it. Maybe I'll watch it again sometime and see how I feel about it now.
