Funerals are no longer sacred affairs in “Death at a Funeral,” a new comedy directed by Neil LaBute. The film is a remake of a 2007 independent British film of the same name, and stars Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, and Luke Wilson as the attendees of a funeral which unravels before it even begins.
Leave the Resurrections to Christ: Kubrick’s Potential Disaster
“My husband,” Christiane Kubrick told The New York Times in 2006, “always had a drawerful of ideas. There were always a lot of stories on the go, things he left started, things he left lying around. It was like being in a waterfall.”
The Joneses
The film, graced with an original premise, a talented and well-cast group of actors, and a clever, well-paced script manages to be ironically funny, genuinely touching, and disturbing all at once.
Exit Through The Gift Shop
The documentary is a high-speed chase through the moon-lit streets of Los Angeles, guided by the amateur camerawork of the eccentric frenchman, Thierry Guetta.
The Secret in Their Eyes
The real mystery is how this movie ended up snatching any accolades at all, let alone the Oscar for Best Foreign Film earlier this year, and the Goya Prize last year—some of the highest in the industry.
Death at a Funeral
The movie lacks creativity at almost every turn. Many of the movie’s scenes are very close in content and construction to the British version, and the score is unoriginal and bland.
Brand and Hill Hit Boston Before 'Greek'
“‘Arthur’’s going to be out next year and it’s going to be a fantastic film,” Brand said. “I’m going to be nude a lot.”
Date Night
Steve Carell and Tina Fey’s onscreen chemistry shines in the chaotic and funny story of a married suburban couple in “Date Night.”

In “Date Night,” a stagnant couple (played by comedic heavyweights Steve Carell and Tina Fey) tries to spice up their romantic lives with an evening on the town. Their dinner plans, however, go wildly off course when they steal a reservation placed by two petty criminals on the run from the law.
When You're Strange
Using original footage shot between 1966 and 1971, “When You’re Strange” is a refreshing documentary in that it refrains from feeling like a nostalgic home video.
The Warlords
The relationship between the three ‘blood-brothers’ in “The Warlords” is a bromance of epic proportions. General Pang (Jet Li), Wu Yang (Takeshi Kaneshiro), and Er Hu (Andy Lau) travel together, share each other’s space, fight over women, and defend one another like characters in a typical Judd Apatow film.
