Rear Window - Collector's Edition Reviews

---

Gray-Hair Really DID Off his Wife. That's it. Whoopee.
The ending is total bull. The dude with the gray hair really did murder his wife, that's all. Nothing tricky, mysterious, or "surprise" about it. Oh, and ALL of the characters in the apartment building have sweet, happy endings that miraculously coincide with the gray-haired dude's arrest. Oh puke. Jimmy Stewrat plays an obsessive loser in a wheelchair who treats the women in the movie with little or no respect. Must be he's good-looking, cuse he can't act his way out of a damp paper sack. And that ending, oh man. The author didn't even offer any explainations to smooth out the glaring inconsistencies the ending created. Just, gray-hair did it. That's all. He offed his wife. For some reason. What reason? She nagged him, apparently that's grounds for murder in this movie. I suppose, no other motive is EVER offered. She nagged him, he chopped her up or something. WTF. Hopefully, this review will save some of you the trouble. Monumental letdown after what seemed to be a good movie about a delusional lunatic who preferred spying on his neighbors to spending some nice special time with his loving hot girlfriend.

Rear Window
When I was a child, I got so sick of hearing how brilliant Alfred Hitchcock was. To the extent that I never watched any of his movies, if you can believe it. Well, this one's pretty damn cool. I really don't want to overanalyze all the techniques that our beloved director employed so well, lest I spoil the fun. The plot centers around a question. Did Raymond Burr kill his wife and chop her up with saw and knife? That's the impression injured Jimmy Stewart got from peeping through the windows. We had to throw in some subplots and have some fun as well, because of the length, and it's excellent in doing that. Almost everybody sends up himself or herself a little bit, and we have some laughs in addition to trademark suspense, and it's a great film.
