REAR WINDOW(1998)
No one will ever say that this is better than the original!
To out "Hitch" Alfred Hitchcock isn't something that anyone
will ever be able to do! As this is one of my all-time favorite
Hitchcock movies is to be an undeerstatement! With James Stewart
(the greatest male actor to grace the silver scteen) in it,
along with one of the greatest actresses(Grace Kelly), it's
a near perfect movie!
However, I will give credit where credit is due, and that's that
Christopher Reeve does a bang up job in this! A couple of
problems with this is that Darryl Hannah is no Grace Kelly,
the produciton value is obviously that of a made-for-TV movie,
and there isn't enough character build up! Still, though, this
is a fine movie, and had it not already been done by the great
one, would probably rank a little higher for me! B-
From IMDb.com:
Rear Window is a really good movie. Most TV movies have poor
acting, a poor plot basically a poor everything. But Rear Window
has the same amount of quality as a movie you would see at the
theater. Christopher Reeve does an excellent job. It's hard to
believe that a movie like Mr. Magoo would be in theaters but
not this movie (Mr. Magoo being one of the worst films I've
ever seen). This movie has got some good suspense too, and
the part where the blond girl lights a match and stares at
Christopher Reeve is really creepy. Recommended big time. - LT-10
