@ Fear375 The book is always better Give me the book over the movie every time |
................................... It was Watchable & Had a Twist. Gary Oldman is Gary Oldman, Great In Almost Any Movie. & Amy Adams Is Sexxy. |
I'm watching a lot of REAL stinkers these days. This flick was fine. Original? Hardly. Amy Adams is good and has a couple other names to help her out. Not bad IMO. Movie: 7.5 Video\Audio: 10 |
Just for the fun of it: google what a canon in music is. Obviously not what you think it is. But I agree with what is said. Merely because someone sees something through a window doesn't make it a rip off or a variation on a Hitchcock movie. |
@ Guest-1537 Like in music we should view these derivative movies as a ♫ canon - a variation on a theme ♫ - Hitchcock's Canon in Amy Adams Major |
Please y'all, watch a movie before you comment on it, okay? The movie is quite entertaining, with enough twists to keep you guessing what's going on until the very end. So who cares if someone did something remotely similar before? Do you not enjoy music that uses the same key, the same chords, the same rhythm and tempo as a zillion others? |
And none of you cinematographic experts even mention 'Gaslight', simply because there is a window and someone looks through it? Wow. |
Ah, but this one is nothing like the Hitchcock movie. You see, it's the front window in this one. |
Hollywood purposely remakes old box office hits each generation in hopes that the new generation will have no clue that it was ever made prior ( usually with better actors and scripts ) and also hoping to bank $$$ on it. Look how many times a star is born was made and many many other films. I do like all the actors involved in this movie and will certainly watch it. I also enjoy comparing how these new movies might or might not stack up to the originals. |
Wonder what the next one in the Rear Window 'franchise' going to be called - Window at the Rear? Woman in the Window at the Rear? |
Does Hitchcock receive any royalties for all these Rear Window knock-off? |
@ Guest-1429 Yep, 'Rear Window' movies are churned out faster then 'Amytiville' movies |
