Whatever happened to baby Jane?
23 May 2005
Like many people when I heard that they were remaking another movie, I rolled my eyes and went about my business. Then when I head that tabloid queen Paris Hilton was going to be in it, well I laughed out loud. I thought the only acting she did was in her infamous sex tape. When I saw the trailer for the film I was still not impressed, it was until I started watching Movie House on MTV, where I began to show interest in the movie. After seeing the film, I have to say that one should never judge a book by its cover. The story is actually pretty good, except for the fact that people go snooping around strangers houses... which I'm sorry would never happen. There were some scary parts in the film that made me jump. I think it had an awesome soundtrack, especially the show that played during the end credits. Elisha Cuthbert is one of the best up and coming actresses today, while she had little to work with on this film, I think she did the best she could. The same can be said for Paris Hilton, while she is far from a great actress, she did a good job with her character. I think she has potential to be better, if she picks movies that will show her range. Chad Michael Murray and Jared Padaleck also give good performances. I think the whole cast worked well together, and in my opinion that can make or break any movie. I liked this movie as a whole, I only hope they don't make a sequel. I give this film a B-.
