This 98 minute comedy is Rated PG-13. Affable twenty-something Tom Thompson has just been asked to deliver a eulogy for a dead classmate. But there's one problem: Tom has no recollection of who this person is! Furthermore, at the funeral, Tom runs into Julie DeMarco, the girl he had a killer crush on high school. He falls in love with her all over again, and begins to woo her. Meanwhile, Tom is seduced himself by Mrs. Abernathy -- the sexy mother of the dead man. How long can Tom successfully juggle both women? And what will happen when an extremely scornful Mrs. Abernathy discovers that Tom has been unfaithful? A directionless college graduate finds his life in turmoil after he agrees to be a pallbearer for a high school classmate he can't remember. To make things worse, he gets chosen to give the eulogy, the mother of the deceased keeps putting the moves on him, and he's bumblingly trying to impress his old high school would-be flame. A black comedy from first-time director Reeves. Released theatrically in the USA May 3, 1996.

Pallbearer DVD The Pallbearer
Hot star David Schwimmer (TV's FRIENDS) makes a hilarious big-screen debut in this outrageous comedy hit! As Tom Thompson, the popular star plays a befuddled college grad whose social life is practically D.O.A. ... that is, until he's asked to be a pallbearer at the funeral of a classmate he can't remember! Comic chaos follows as Tom fends off the seductive advances of the grieving mother (Barbara Hershey -- BEACHES), and tries desperately to find the nerve to ask out the beautiful girl of his dreams (Academy Award(R) winner Gwyneth Paltrow, Best Actress, 1998, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE) -- who can't remember him!

In Tim Burton's stylish, creepy retelling of the classic Washington Irving story, SLEEPY HOLLOW, Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) is a squeamish, bookish 18th century New York City investigator sent to a small town in lower Westchester county to look into three mysterious decapitations. When the always rational Crane arrives at the little Dutch village, he finds that most of the townsfolk believe the culprit to be the Headless Horseman, the ghost of a monstrous Hessian soldier (Christopher Walken), who seems to be mysteriously tied in to one of the town's most prominent families. Burton's natural instincts for campy humor, combined with the hauntingly gorgeous technical work (Emmanuel Lubezki's cinematography and Danny Elfman's score included), ...

Based on the novel by Marc Behm, Australian writer-director Stephan Elliott's (THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT) voyeuristic thriller stars Ewan McGregor as a high-tech surveillance detective for the British Consulate. Codenamed "Eye," Wilson is investigating the involvement of his boss' son with a beautiful, mysterious woman (Ashley Judd), and becomes a horrified witness when she brutally murders him.
Trailing her as she flees Washington, the Eye watches fascinated as she switches identities, seduces and kills again. The Eye, too, has some personal demons to contend with. He is haunted (literally) by the image of his daughter, who was taken away by his wife. Consumed by guilt, the Eye vows not to also lose the "extraordinary" femme fatale, ignoring repeated attempts by his Moneypenny-esque assistant, Hilary (k.d. lang), to pull him off the case. ...

A saturnine vision of the universe and an interest in the female form bordering on adoration have been two constants of Dennis Hopper's directorial work. Both are on display in this neo-noir, starring Don Johnson as cagey drifter Harry Madox, who picks up a job from used car lot owner George Harshaw (Jerry Hardin), soon after arriving in a small Texas town. Attracting women is not one of Harry's problems, and he's soon involved with Harshaw's innocent young bookkeeper, Gloria Harper (Jennifer Connelly), and his tough, sexy wife, Dolly (Virginia Madsen). An ambitious sort, Harry is also planning to rob the local bank. But things begin to get strange when he learns that Gloria is being extorted by nasty backwoodsman Frank Sutton (William Sadler), who also seems to be linked to Dolly. While not quite ...

This DVD showcases Don Po Leiva, Cuba's Foremost Montunero with his band LOS MENTOROSOS feat. THE CHICKI CHAKA GIRLS and CARRIBEAN STORM.

With his ambling walk, his unique personal style, and his incredible charisma, when he starts to improvise while demonstrating the innate creative ability that is the hallmark of every good Cuban sonero, it doesn't matter whether he's singing a son, a guaguanc, or a tango. It inevitably comes out with the delightful intensity and naturalness that only one person can muster: Don Po Leiva. ...
