City of Angels

**½
Director: Brad Silberling
Cast: Nicolas Cage, Meg Ryan, Andre Braugher, Dennis Franz, Colm Feore

A less than impressive romantic fantasy about an angel who falls in love with a beautiful surgeon and wants to become a human. The film, which is a loose remake of Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire, strips angels of any mystique and forces its view of them on you.
