Rear Window Reworked

Advantages: A good idea for reworking "Rear Window"...
Disadvantages: ...but it had a poor script and lost a lot of what made the original plot so good

Rear Window (1998) - FILM ONLY REVIEW Certificate: PG (UK) Running Time: 89 Minutes Director: Jeff Bleckner Voyeurism is the act of observing the lives of others, often, though not always, for sexual gratification; it is a process by which the observer gets more satisfaction from viewing others than from experiencing their own lives. There is a little bit of this tendency in all of us, as what is watching a film if not opening up a window on the lives of others, be they real or fictional? It is no surprise, therefore, that the film industry has from time to time chosen voyeurism as the subject of its stories. A widely regarded classic of the theme is Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 film "Rear Window", an engrossing and suspenseful examination of what it is like to be a voyeur, first enforced by circumstance and later pursued ...

The LOGO

Advantages: The insurance is cheap
Disadvantages: Its expensive

I bought this car 3 years ago now, it had 8000 miles on the clock and cost me £6495 The Logo is easy to manoeuvre and park, with light (though slightly remote) steering at low speeds, good all-round visibility and a lively engine. However, the long, thin gearstick on the manual version feels wobbly, turning gear-changing into an exploratory mission, and the brakes are grabby and jolting, which does not lead to a relaxing drive around town and in stop-start traffic. The optional CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) automatic gearbox makes life easier, though slows the Logo down considerably. The willing 1.3-litre 8-valve (65 bhp) engine accelerates briskly enough, and the Logo keeps up with the flow of motorway traffic. But it sounds harsh and whiny when revved hard, and the soundproofing is too poor to stop these sounds, along ...

Review of Honda Logo

Check out Alfred Hitchcock's rear... window!

Advantages: Deliberately slow build-up of tension
Disadvantages: May be a bit too slow for some

In case you're wondering, I'm having a bit of an Alfred Hitchcock week, and I've been watching a few films by "the master of suspense". Rear Window was made in 1954, and it's hailed as one of his finest achievements, even being voted number 14 on IMDb's top 250 films! That's above Citizen Kane and Lawrence of Arabia! Plus it was nominated for 4 Oscars, including Best Screenplay and Best Director! It stars James Stewart and Grace Kelly as a couple who become sure that there's something suspicious going on in the flat opposite... Stewart plays Mr Jeffries, a newspaper photographer who has been confined to his apartment for six weeks with a broken leg, after a car accident. With nothing else to do, he watches his neighbours, and since there is a heat wave and everyone leaves their windows open, he has the perfect opportunity to ...
