Sorority Wars premiers Saturday, October 17, 2009 at 9 PM ET/PT on Lifetime. [1]

Lifetime is engaging in “Sorority Wars.” [2]

If you want to get away from everything - and I mean everything, from the Afghan war to the price of skim milk, “Sorority Wars” is your ticket. [3]

Watch the “Sorority Wars” movie trailer and video extras now to get a sneak peek of the fun new movie starring Courtney Thorne-Smith, Faith Ford and Lucy Hale. [4]

Lucy Hale, Courtney Thorne-Smith and Faith Ford star in this 2009 cable comedy-drama about the trials of Katie (Hale), a college freshman who hopes to follow in the footsteps of her sorority-legend mom (Thorne-Smith). [5]

Courtney Thorne-Smith and Lucy Hale are set and Faith Ford is in negotiations to star in a new Lifetime original movie set in the cut-throat world of college sororities. [2]

While checking out the Kappa house, Katie is told by one of the women there that she needs to select the sorority in which she feels most comfortable because she is not only representing the sorority, but the sorority is representing her. [1]

Lucy Hale (l.) and Phoebe Strole have a sister act in Lifetime’s new ‘Sorority Wars.’ [3]

Class is in session, the ‘rush’ is on, and it’s time to pick a sorority house. [4]

Now let’s break that down: Lucy Hale is a talented and pretty fast-rising star who, at 20, has already guest starred on every tween-friendly show from Drake & Josh to The O.C. to Wizards of Waverly Place, and been a regular on both Bionic Woman and Privileged. [6]

Lutie and Summer are two women still stuck in the glamorous world of their college sorority. [7]

“Sorority” centers on an 18-year-old freshman (Hale) who ignites a full-blown sorority war after she snubs Delta, the sorority co-founded by her mother (Thorne-Smith) and her mother’s college best friend (Ford), in favor of the more laid-back and less gossipy Kappa. [2]

And they are going to rush week to pledge the Delta house, the house founded by Katie’s mother Lutie (Courtney Thorne-Smith) and her best friend Summer (Faith Ford). [1]

This should be easy for college freshman Katie Snow (Hale), especially since her mother, Lutie (Thorne-Smith), and Lutie’s best friend, Summer (Ford), were the founders of the popular Delta house. [4]

The story follows Katie (Hale), a college freshman who has been groomed from birth to continue her mother’s (Thorne-Smith) legacy by joining the Delta house. [8]

The hero of Alfred Hitchcock ’s “Rear Window ” is trapped in a wheelchair, and we’re trapped, too–trapped inside his point of view, inside his lack of freedom and his limited options. [2]

To pass the time between visits from his nurse (Thelma Ritter) and his fashion model girlfriend Lisa (Grace Kelly), the binocular-wielding Jeffries stares through the rear window of his apartment at the goings-on in the other apartments around his courtyard. [3]

REAR WINDOW is not only a gripping story of murder and suspense, it is a celebrated allegory on the nature of film itself, a story in which the audience watches Jefferies watch the story unfold. [4]

But while “Rear Window” — which opens at New York’s Film Forum in a newly restored version and makes its way around the country in the next few months — is surely one of Alfred Hitchcock’s best entertainments, there’s no getting around that it’s also an intensely discomforting experience. [5]

Each of the tenants of the other apartments offer an observant comment of marriage and a complete survey of male/female relationships (all the way from honeymooners to a murderous spouse), as the main protagonist watches / spies / spectates through his ‘rear window’ on them. [6]

Rear Window is a 1954 American suspense film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, written by John Michael Hayes based on Cornell Woolrich ’s 1942 short story “It Had to Be Murder”. [7]

Here’s a film about a man who does on the screen what we do in the audience–look through a lens at the private lives of strangers. [2]

A daredevil photographer bored out of his mind by his six weeks of confinement, Jeff turns the lighted windows on the other side of the courtyard into his own private multiplex. [5]

Remarkably, the camera angles are largely from the protagonist’s own apartment, so the film viewer (in a dark theatre) sees the inhabitants of the other apartments almost entirely from his point of view - to share in his voyeuristic surveillance. [...] Including posters, Academy Awards history, film genres, film terms, film history by decade, trivia, and lots of lists of ‘best’ films, stars, scenes, quotes, resources, etc. [6]

It was remade in 1998 as a TV movie with Christopher Reeve in the James Stewart role. [3]

Using the story of a wheelchair-bound photographer (James Stewart) who passes the time recuperating from a broken leg by spying out his window into the apartments of his Greenwich Village neighbors, Hitchcock made a movie that both encourages voyeurism and shames it, that refuses to condemn it or applaud it. [5]

Cornell Woolrich is the author of the story “It Had To Be Murder” (published in Dime Detective Magazine in February 1942), upon which the movie Rear Window is based. [8]

One day the wife is no longer to be seen, and by piecing together several clues (a saw, a suitcase, a newly dug spot in Thorvald’s courtyard garden), Jeff begins to suspect that a murder has taken place. [2]

Drawing in a deep lungful, Wilson exhaled it in bursts, then pressed the cigarette into the armrest tray with irritable stabbing motions. [...] “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” is just one of many classic horror stories by Richard Matheson that have insinuated themselves into our collective imagination. [...] He wrote the script for some of the most memorable episodes of The Twilight Zone, including “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” (you remember — William Shatner sees a gremlin on the wing of the plane. [1]

Nightmare at 20,000 Feet is a must-have collection for Matheson fans and readers who like their horror spare, precise, and chilling. [2]

From the thunderous percussion that opens track 2 to the sometimes slashing sometimes swirling strings that flit and surround the “Nightmare at 20000 Feet,” this is a score that truly deserved an expansion. [3]

Much of Richard Matheson’s work has found its way into pop culture: the title story became a memorable episode of television’s The Twilight Zone, and horror aficionados reading “Prey” will immediately visualize Trilogy of Terror ’s Karen Black hunkered down with a butcher knife. [2]

He spots a gremlin on the wing of the plane. [...] Mr. Wilson has just been discharged from a sanitarium where he spent the last six months recovering from a nervous breakdown, the onset of which took place on an evening not dissimilar to this one, on an airliner very much like the one in which Mr. Wilson is about to be flown home - the difference being that, on that evening half a year ago, Mr. Wilson’s flight was terminated by the onslaught of his mental breakdown. [6]

The plot has the Shattner character as a man that’s just recently gotten out of rehab, because he had suffered a mental and nervous breakdown, and getting on a plane will almost certain test his limits. [4]
