| | Death At A Funeral DVD (3 Customer Reviews)
Standard Screen; Additional Footage; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack Spanish; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re; Sensor Matic Written by Dean Craig and directed by comedic veteran Frank Oz, DEATH AT A FUNERAL finds a well-to-do British family attempting to bury their patriarch amidst a backdrop of secrets, revelations, rivalries, and illicit pharmaceuticals. While the dutiful Daniel (Matthew MacFadyen) stoically contends with major roadblocks in planning his father's funeral, including being presented with the wrong body, others connected with the family have catastrophes of their own, including the anxious Simon (Alan Tudyk), who is engaged to Martha (Daisy Donovan), and mistakenly takes a hallucinogen to calm his nerves. Lurking in the background is a mysterious stranger (Peter Dinklage) who threatens to send the chaotic proceedings over the brink.
A charming mix of high- and lowbrow humor, DEATH AT A FUNERAL is a lively farce that makes the most of its hijinks-filled script and topnotch cast. In addition to excellent performances by MacFadyen (PRIDE & PREJUDICE) and Tudyk (SERENITY), the film features fine turns by Donovan, Andy Nyman, and former Swinging London sweetheart Jane Asher. Easily Oz's best movie since the giddily silly BOWFINGER, DEATH showcases the director's knack for working with large ensembles, and will appeal to fans of his earlier romp IN & OUT, as well as to aficionados of biting British comedy. Theatrical Release: August 17, 2007 Death At A Funeral Reviews: "DEATH AT A FUNERAL is a lethal farce, combining hints of THE LAVENDER HILL MOB, doses of Joe Orton and a smidgen of the Farrelly brothers' scatology in its mix."-- Sid Smith, Los Angeles Times "[D]irector Frank Oz comes back strong with this absolutely uproarious British comedy of no manners."-- Tim Cogshell, Box Office 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "The lack of propriety and solemnity is precisely what makes this comic farce so uproariously funny."-- Claudia Puig, USA Today "Macfadyen crumples very endearingly as his character succumbs to the tide of mishaps, and there are showreel moments too for Kris Marshall..."-- Lisa Mullen, Sight and Sound 3 stars out of 5 -- "Frank Oz's frantic farce tickles thanks to a rapid-fire stream of slapstick gags and gallows humour."-- Jane Crowther, Total Film 3 stars out of 5 -- "Impeccable comic timing ensures the gags flow fast, while some delightfully ludicrous predicaments keep things fresh."-- James Dyer, Empire Death At A Funeral | List Price | $14.98 (You save $5.29) | | Studio | 20th Century Fox | | Orig Year | 2007 | | DVD Encoding | Region 1 | | All Time Sales Rank | 16380  | | CD Universe Part number | 7588619 | | Catalog number | 110028 | | Discs | 2 | | Release Date | Feb 26, 2008 | | Rating | R (MPAA) | | Rating Reason | for language and drug content | | Running Time | 91 Minutes | | Additional Info | Full Frame; Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled | | Movie Details | Color; Full Frame; Widescreen; Dubbed; Subtitled; Dual Side |
Death At A Funeral Movie Review Average Rating: (3.7 out of 5 stars)   boring attempt at comedy "uproariously funny","insanely funny" say the critics, but if I could honestly say I found one real chuckle in this insipid tripe, I'm be overly generous. Boring,boring,dry attempts at humor. Avoid.. Submitted by crackersfl (Florida, USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful.

A GENTLE EALING STYLE COMEDY. Gentle comedy painted in broad strokes makes this a giggle fest from the opening scene to the last. All cast members conduct themselves well, but ALAN TUDYK gives a sustained performance of such joy, you will be giggling for days when you remember it Submitted by David Martin (Mt. Martha, Australia.) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No This review is for a different format.

$16.29 Shot on location in director Tim Kirkman's home state of North Carolina, LOGGERHEADS is a moving, meditative exploration of love and family, told through three interconnected tales. Mark (Kip Pardue, GLAMORAMA) is a young drifter who has come to Kure Beach to help save the loggerhead turtles with which he has always been obsessed. Estranged from his adoptive parents, whose fundamentalism led them to reject him when they found out he was gay, Mark begins a healing relationship with a kind hotel manager, George (Michael Kelly). Meanwhile, Mark's adoptive mother, Elizabeth (Tess Harper), struggles with her loss, attempting to reconcile her allegiance to her minister husband (Chris Sarandon) with her persistent love for her son. The quiet rebellion that grows in her is superbly and subtly acted, as she forms an alliance with a free-spirited elderly neighbor, Ruth (Ann Pierce). Finally, Mark's real mother, Grace (Bonnie Hunt, CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN), has returned home to live with her mother (Michael Learned), still haunted by the child she was forced to give up at 17. While she struggles to find him against the wishes of the ...

$10.25 In 1900 Vienna, a magician named Eisenheim the Illusionist is mystifying audiences with a remarkable magic act that is seemingly too good to believe. Chief Inspector Uhl, who is in the pocket of Crown Prince Leopold--and considers himself somewhat of an amateur conjurer--becomes obsessed with Eisenheim; Uhl is not only desperate to find out the secrets behind Eisenheim's tricks but also worried that the master magician might pose a threat to the crown prince's nefarious plans. In addition, Eisenheim is quickly growing close to Duchess Sophie von Teschen, his childhood love, who is engaged to Leopold. As Eisenheim's act becomes even more amazing--including apparently raising the spirits of the dead--he enrages the crown prince even further, leading to deception and murder. Edward Norton (FIGHT CLUB), who studied magic with Ricky Jay (THE SPANISH PRISONER) in preparing ...

| | No Country For Old Men DVD (2007) Widescreen
Death At A Funeral film
$14.99 With NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, the Coen Brothers have found a perfect match in Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy. Their adaptation of McCarthy's praised novel is a staggering masterpiece. In this almost impossibly faithful adaptation, the film takes place in a small Texas border town in 1980. Sheriff Bell (a never-been-better Tommy Lee Jones) has ruled the land for years without the use of a gun, but a new brand of reckless lawlessness has taken over his town. Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) is an innocent Everyman with a devoted wife, Carla Jean (Kelly Macdonald), but when he stumbles across a drug deal gone deadly and finds two million dollars, he's determined to keep it for himself. There's only one problem. He's being pursued by one of the most amoral, evil psychopaths that the big screen has ever seen. Wearing an absurd haircut and brandishing a pressurized weapon that's used to murder cattle, Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) creeps forward on his mission to track Moss down and return the money to its rightful owners to save his own skin. As the tension mounts, the body count begins to rise, confirming Sheriff Bell's inability to battle this new wave of modern brutality.
The most striking thing about the Coen Brothers' thriller is their masterly use of silence to create an almost unbearable level of tension. Cinematographer Roger Deakins is once again ...

Death At A Funeral review
$9.85 Part mystery, part nostalgic coming-of-age tale, Scott Hicks's lyrical, leisurely film of Stephen King's novel captures the innocence, pain, and confusion of childhood. In one unforgettable summer, a lonely 11-year-old boy is befriended by his mysterious new neighbor. But the man makes clear that he is only passing through, and as the boy grows more and more attached to his new friend, he realizes that the dark forces the man fears aren't just "the boogeyman." Accompanied by a soundtrack filled with fifties pop tunes, Hicks (SHINE, SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS) evokes the timelessness of childhood hand in hand with the innocence of an era, a time when a boy's first new bike was the Holy Grail, and his first kiss was "the one by which all others will be judged--and found wanting." The first-rate cast is headed by Anthony Hopkins, who plays the neighbor with compassion and warmth coupled with an understated sadness, ...
