DVD. Feature film. 100 min. Standard & widescreen. Sound i n Engl. & French. Engl., French, & Spanish subtitles, comme ntaries by Roger Ebert & dir. Alex Proyas, writer's & dir. photog. set designs, isolated music score, animated menus, more. Upon awakening with a start in an icy bathtub in a strange room--with a woman's dead body inconveniently nearby--John Murdoch can't remember how he got there. With a police detective hot on his trail and a psychiatrist skulking around, Murdoch discovers that the key to his mystery is the presence of strange extraterrestrial creatures, the Strangers, who are experimenting with the memories of the humans in his city--from which there may be no escape. Ambitious sci-fi noir, with rich production design and a dense, Kafkaesque concept, made DARK CITY a cult classic. Director Alex Proyas explored similar themes in his short film STRANGE RESIDUES, made when he was in Australian Film and TV School in 1981. Dark City Reviews: "...Director Alex Proyas (THE CROW) treats and photographs Sewell like a film noir figure..."
-- Mike Clark, USA Today "...Relentlessly trippy in a fun-house sort of way....A visually arresting ride that offers many unsettling surprises..."
-- Stephen Holden, New York Times "...Deliciously snaky performances by Hurt and Sutherland....A trippy must-see for late-night moviegoers..."-- Christine Spines, Premiere "...A great visionary achievement....Original and exciting....It is a triumph of art direction, set design, cinematography, special effects -- and imagination..."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times 4 stars out of 5 -- "This mind-wringer is sci-fi specialist Alex Proyas' best film to date....A must for anyone who takes their sci-fi strong, dark and minus sugar."-- Nick De Semlyen, Empire Dark City Movie Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Nice movie

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No A Sci-Fi masterpiece
A dark, thick, atmospheric movie. I consider my self lucky for buying it. Profoundly underestimated by many (reviewers) but the viewers. An alternative to The Matrix, lacking however all that kick-ass action. The incredible thing is that it was filmed one year before The Matrix. A must-buy, excelent film.

Dark City review
$15.44 
NORTH BY NORTHWEST is a suspense thriller that finds Cary Grant in the role of Roger Thornhill, a Manhattan advertising executive mistaken for a spy. Considered by many to be the prototypical pure action movie (creating the template for later James Bond and Indiana Jones films), the film is a cross-country roller-coaster ride with Alfred Hitchcock at the helm. The film is duly famous for several classic and indelible scenes, including the desert biplane encounter and the Mt. Rushmore climax. The original title was THE MAN IN LINCOLN'S NOSE, which was replaced by a reference to a line from William Shakespeare's HAMLET (in which Hamlet says, "I am but mad north-north-west."). The magical combination of Hitchcock and the debonair Grant--who made four wonderful films together--makes NORTH BY NORTHWEST a suspense-filled standout.
When Thornhill finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, the world as ...

In the second installment of the DEAD OR ALIVE trilogy, Takashi Miike references the namesake film, but presents a very different film. While still loaded with indiscriminate violence and black comedy, DEAD OR ALIVE 2 becomes a bit more sentimental. Sho Aikawa and Riki Takeuchi return to play the main characters, but this time with a moral purpose. When Mizuki (Sho Aikawa), a Yakuza gangster, witnesses a target shot by a rival assassin, he tracks down the killer to check out the competition. What he finds, however, is that his rival, Shuichi (Riki Takeuchi), is also a long-lost childhood friend. They escape from the ...
