As for Nichols appearence, I was grasping for straws to write something positive about the movie.
In retrospect, I should have put The Hills there instead of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. They've all but admitted they were fake!
I've never seen either of The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants movies.

I sort of disagree here. As I posted before, one of the things that bothered me the most was how shameless the filmmakers were by coming up with excuses to have her in an extremely tight dress... and wet!
What do you mean? That's a reality show. Realities don't have scripts. [...] What? Oh, sorry. I didn't write that. That was me when I was a teenager. I'd say it was in TRAVELING PANTS 2. That was also a small role.

Aw, what a hilariously unscary movie. I know that I've been putting this one off for a while, but good things take time. Ocarina Of Time changed its release schedule a crap load of times and that's the best video game ever.
The good:
Rachel Nichols is good to look at: That's the only good thing here.
The bad:
The script: This script is bad, dumb, and as predictable as an episode of Keeping Up With Kardashians.
Rachel Nichols: She may be good to look at, but she's annoying as Hell. Also, is it me, or is her only good performance in Star Trek, where she had about two minutes of screen-time.
Director Franck Khalfoun: His directing skills are as bad as his name is pronouncable. A good director would have done something good with the concept. Too bad he's not.
The ugly:
Wes Bentley: Bentley is hilariously bad here. The scene where he sings Elvis was especially dumb.
What a dumb movie. Grade: D
Next-up: Breaking Wind Fart 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1)It's not about the music score in general, it's about the use of music to create suspense, and that sucked in REAR WINDOW. Actually,the whole score sucked (too cheerful for a thriller).
2)I gave this 20%, not 0%. And it wasn't because it was open-ended. The original ending was also open-ended, and I liked it a lot. That ending still had closure, unlike the one they ended up using.

1. I like the no music in the climax. It's not needed. To me, music is not important to the overall movie, it's just something to use here and there.
2. Yeah, the ending to the "Birds" is open-ended, but giving it a 0% just for that is a bit much. The movie is still good up to that point.

I think you got it backwards.There was no music during the climax and that's what I hated about it.
I was ready to give a good rating to THE BIRDS,but the ending ruined everything.In case you're thinking I hate Hitchcock,I gave 60% to THE WRONG MAN and 70% to NORTH BY NORTHWEST.

I couldn't disagree with you more, Vits. I like no music during dramatic moments, it adds realism to the movie. I mean, come on, when in the dramatic moments in your life do you hear music playing in the background, as if it's on cue? It is the climax of the movie, everything has been working up to this moment, so there's no need for MORE suspense through music. By the way, 20% for "Birds"? WTF?!
But 100% for "12 Angry Men", can't disagree with that, one of the greatest movies ever.

Hmmm, I like this MWG better than the "oh, you people are morons and don't know what you're talking about!" one.

Not that I don't appriciate you guys saying once a month that us foreigners don't understand your movies...But here's the thing:
The reason I change the rating from 0% to 30% is because a new rule I have with movies made before 1970, because I just can't be in the shoes of people from that time. So I give them extra points.
Hitchcock's great at suspense and horror, but mostly at suspense, and this movie and THE BIRDS(20%) prove it.Cutting the music to create suspense is a good technique,but in those movies he also cut the music while something was happening(suspense means being afraid of what will happen,not what's happening). Watching James Stewart being choked with no music(after the whole movie had cheerful comedy music) and listening to nothing but his grouching felt ridiculous!
There's also Grace Kelly's performance which,just like Wes Bentley was on the edge of being good, she was on the edge of being bad, but neither of them crossed it. However, this morning my acting teacher told me Hitchcock was a sexist and that's why her character was one-dimensional and she was always related to objects. That could be it. The villian is also one-dimensional. We never learn how or why he killed his wife.
I'm not saying the movie is bad. I'm saying I didn't like it, so you don't have to tell me the world's concensus. And I have liked movies from that time. A few weeks ago I gave 100% to 12 ANGRY MEN.

No, the movie as a whole is s***, the single action of the protagonist is just a final insult to the audience's already suffering brains.

Well, if you think a single action by the protagonist can ruin the movie, then you can just think that.

I wasn't trying to explain it. I was giving a sarcastic explanation.

Yes, because you know, the trying to kidnap and hold her against her will and then trying to kill when she tried to escape, that she can live with. But calling her the c-word, well, that was too much!
See, it sounds even dumber when you try to explain!
