Would've been a YouTube Video, but better Cameras...

Rating: 4/10 (20 September 2007)

I really get disappointed when I see a super-hyped flick that turns out to be pass-poor predictable...This was all that and less...I can't recall a decent budget movie with more shortcuts, more script problems and a half-witted storyline...Maybe I should go ahead and pitch my movie-idea while my screenplay is still not finished and the heck with editing it...I guess I can just leave that to the director, on the set. That's exactly what this looks like...someone had a kinda' good idea, based on a remake of rear-window, quickly got a couple of writers to stomp out a screenplay and rushed it over to begin production...I think the only person who took their time was casting...Even though I still not a fan of Shia(h)'s...I can't get his bitchy lil' attitude out of my mind from 'Project Greenlight'...It was as if he was doing everyone a huge favor by gracing them with his presence and his presence didn't leave that much of a footprint. s script is just awful, by any standard except grade 'B' movies or 'made for TV'...Then, it's an OK production, because they aren't given all the luxuries of budget, unlimited crew and the best of equipment...This movie would've fit just as well on one of the mini-DV cameras from the props...In fact, it may have become a cult classic if it had been shot on a consumer Mini-DV camera and posted on the web...Now, with all the money spent, the actors and crew paid, the editing and post production, marketing, etc, etc. is all wrapped up, this disturbing lil' movie will fade away as just another title in the drama (ot Trauma) isle...you may have to rent on a Saturday night when all the new releases are already gone...Go see Rear Window...Again...you'll be glad you did...I gotta' go work on a screenplay...It's gotta' be better than this...At least it's original..and hey, I don't have to edit it...Obviously!
