That was an excellent one.

People are voting emotionally.

Just perfect...

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

What on earth was the point of this load of dross? I presume it was a vehicle for Mr Reeve? Hitchcock's Rear Window, was one of the greatest suspense films ever, the only suspense here was how long could I keep awake. Robert Forster ought to have known better, he is a superb actor and is just about the only character in this movie one can recognise as being bothered. Teleplays, with some honourable exceptions, are usually crap, but there was more wood in this script than in Sherwood Forest. Leave well alone when it comes to attempting to remake the classic movies, I admired Christopher Reeve for his heroic struggle against adversity, he will be remembered for doing many better things than this. If only I could have given it nought out of ten. DREADFUL.

I knew this wasn't going be better than the original Sir Alfred Hitchcock/James Stewart version, but it is certainly a good attempt at remaking a classic. Basically architect Jason Kemp (Golden Globe nominated Christopher Reeve) has a car accident, ending with him being paralysed, and after getting out of hospital he is placed in a wheelchair, and back in his large apartment. The only thing he can do to entertain himself, with nothing to do, is spy on his neighbours out of his window. He is regularly visited by work colleague Claudia Henderson (Daryl Hannah), and his nurses Antonio Fredericks (Ruben Santiago-Hudson) and Leila, Jason's Ex-Wife (Anne Twomey), but mostly alone he suspects neighbour Julian Thorpe (Ritchie Coaster), after seeing many arguments, and hearing a scream, that he has killed his wife Ilene (Allison Mackie, also playing her sister). As time goes by, Jason gets himself great technological spying equipment, contacts people with his voice activated technology, and tries to convince who he can of his suspicions, including Detective Charlie Moore (Robert Forster). Towards the end, Julian confronts Jason and attempts to murder him and the nurses, and the film concludes with an almost happy ending, involving an artwork from Thorpe. In terms of modernising, that is certainly a big factor, and Reeve's true paralysis (instead of a broken leg like Stewart) adds more realism and edge to the story, and for one of his last roles before dying in 2004, this was a good one. It was nominated the Emmy for Outstanding Music Composition for a Miniseries or a Movie (Dramatic Underscore) for David Shire. Worth watching!

Updated version of the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock classic "Rear Window" with Christopher Reeves as quadriplegic Jason Kemp who unknowingly spies upon a violent domestic dispute by his neighbors across the yard that possibly later escalated to murder. Recovering from a car smash-up architect Jason Kemp is left without the use of his arms and legs and very bitter that his latest project was given to fellow architect Claudia Henderson, Daryl Hannah, who took over for him while he was hospitalized.Back home Jason is given all the high-tech equipment to make his life, and in-home work,a lot easier. Even his relations with Claudia starts to warm up when he realizes that she's not trying to upstage him but wants him to be part of the project that she's doing. Jason later falls in love with Claudia who among other thing made his life a lot happier by her concern and attention towards him at this very critical time in his recovery. With nothing to do with his free time Jason watches, with a zoom-video camera, what his neighbors are doing across the back-yard of his apartment building. He then soon notices this couple constantly fighting with each other. Not taking it seriously at first Jason sees that the fights are a lot more intense and violent then your average family squabbles. One evening Jason calls 911 when the husband Julian Thorpe, Richie Coaster, beats his wife Ilene, Allison Mackie, to the point where she almost loses consciousness. The next night after Julian was released from police custody Jason hears a blood-curdling scream coming from the Thorpe apartment then all is deathly quite. Spying on the Thorps the next few day, to see if everything is all right, Jason notices something very strange and disturbing. Ilene is no longer there and Julian is living with another woman, who turned out to be Ilene's sister, who stole or also took over Mrs. Thorpe's identity. Better then average made-for-TV thriller that turned out to be actor Chris Reeves' last, and most personal, movie role. Suspenseful build-up as Thorpe slowly realizes that he's not only being spied on by Jason but that Jason knows what he did to his wife and tries to murder him to keep Jason from going to the police. The ending of "Rear Window" is a bit of a let-down but at the same time more intriguing then that of the 1954 version of the movie by leaving it, the ending,up in the air and to the imagination of the viewers.Chris Reeves was playing himself in the movie "Rear Window" as he was a real victim of a spinal-cord injury, that he suffered from a raiding accident on May 27, 1995, that left him paralyzed for the rest of his life until he passed away just days after his 52th birthday. Christopher Reeves made a much bigger impact on the public in the courage that he showed and energies that he gave in battling the disability that he suffered and making it,the cure for Neurolog Disease, the cause that he fought for until his death. Reeves helped create the Christoper Reeves Paralysis Foundation and thus helping, as well as inspiring, thousands of others suffering from that disabling disease with the hope that advanced medical treatments hopefully will eradicate it in the very near future. Chris showed the public, in the last nine years of his life, that he was just as much the man Superman while confined in a wheelchair in real life as the was the comic book hero Superman that he played in the movies.

This movie was the best! I don't care what other people have been saying. The acting was top-notch. I have NEVER, I repeat, NEVER seen such a good made-for-TV movie in my life. Christopher Reeves is the best actor out there. I loved the Superman films, and to see him on his feet again is just great. I hope he keeps on acting in the future, and he WILL WALK AGAIN! The supporting cast was just as good. It was Darryl Hannahs best role since Kill Bill (Volume 1 & 2). And Christopher's caretakers weren't too bad either. I don't see why lots of people are hating this film. Better than Titanic any day. And I was so happy to see that his co-worker became his lover. All in all, the best film I've seen all year.
