REAR WINDOW: B 

This was a pretty decent film, considering the obstacles and limitations that cast and crew had to work with. My only real criticism of the film, were a few plot holes throughout the story and an abrupt ending. I did appreciate however, how rather than ignore most of these flaws, they at least had the decency to not only admit them, but to admit them in a humorous manner. 

I've wanted to see this film for a long time, but I've avoided it purposely because I miss Christopher Reeve a lot. It's a reminder to me that he, one of my all time favorites is no longer with us. And a reminder that I'll never see him in anything new again.

His ability to still be able to act with such conviction and precision gave testimony to the talent that he possessed as an actor. Going into the film I questioned if he'd be able to work the same magic that he did as Superman or Alan Chaffee in Village of the Damned. And he did. Despite being in a wheel chair and only being able to move his head, he was still the same Julliard trained actor that he had always been.

The supporting cast did a good job too. The chemistry worked.

And I'd say more about the film, but I have a bed that needs slept in and a girlfriend and a dog that need cuddled up next to.
