Dark City, 1998 - ★★★½
He can tune!
Dark City has been a favorite of mine when it came out, and after I watched it again, I can see why. It's dark and melancholic with a shred of hope and a lot of revenge kind of style. Beyond that though, it's one of those "what if" movies that gets some of those questions stuck in your head after the credits roll, like, maybe there *is* someone who keeps misplacing my hot sauce in the fridge??
This movie fits well with Donnie Darko and perhaps the original Matrix for a good reality-doubting weekend (more recommendations are welcome). If you're more into questioning-reality-god-complex movies, I also recommend The Truman Show, one of Jim Carry's best performances ever.
More random thoughts: Jennifer Connelly is absolutely stunning here in a very Who Framed Roger Rabbit style. I also think it's about time I get myself a duster coat. And when was the last time I went to the beach here in NYC?
