Rear Window

Summary: Remake of a Clasic
Review: While I'm not one to truly enjoy a remake, Christopher Reeve's version of "Rear Window" is very good. This movie was made three years after his horse ridding accident, so the wheelchair, respirator and rehabilitation is real. Reeve plays an architect who is involved in a head-on collision that has left him paralyzed. When he comes back to work, he has his own room in the floor above where he works and a new view to go with it. As in the original, he's got too much time on his hands and starts to get nosy with the people in the building next door. I'll leave the rest for those who haven't seen the movie yet.

I really enjoyed Reeve's acting in this movie. Darryl Hannah plays the Grace Kelly role, and that's the only reason I gave it four stars. Hannah is no Grace Kelly, and her performance is kind of lame. But the plot and the story line is good and for the most part, so is the acting.
