Death at a Funeral / ***1/2 (R)
|
"Death at a Funeral" (R, 92 minutes). The best comedy since "The Hangover." A big family home is the setting for a funeral that's just one damn thing after another. Remake of a 2007 Brit comedy, but a lot funnier. All-star cast includes Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, James Marsden, Peter Dinklage, Loretta Devine, Regina Hall, Zoe Saldana, Tracy Morgan, Luke Wilson and on and on. Three and a half stars.

Home / ***1/2 (Unrated)
|
"Home" (Unrated, 98 minutes) A family live in a small home in the middle of vast fields and next to the highway, which hasn't been used for ten years. Then big trucks arrive to lay down a fresh coating of asphalt, and the arrival of traffic puts unbearable pressure on a family that seems a little strange from the first. With Isabelle Huppert and Olivier Gourmet. 2008 winner of the Swiss Film Prize. Three and a half stars.

The Perfect Game / *** (PG)
|
"The Perfect Game" (PG, 100 minutes) In 1957 an underdog team from Monterey, Mexico, journeyed to Williamsport, Pa. and pulled off an incredible upset in winning the Little League World Series. Based on that true story, this film weaves in actual newsreel footage with its story, and delivers an expected, but real, emotional wallop. Three stars

The Joneses / ** (R)
|
"The Joneses" (R, 96 minutes). Everyone wants to keep up with the Joneses. They're good-looking, friendly, popular, affluent, and they always seem ahead of the curve when it comes to what they drive, wear, play and consume. They never boast. They never have to. People just plain want to be just like them. Demi Moore, David Duchovny, Amber Heard and Ben Hollingsworth play an ideal suburban family, role models for a summer society. Gets caught between satire and tragedy. Two stars

|
The Eclipse / *** (R)
|
"The Eclipse" (R, 88 minutes). Ciaran Hinds plays a good, recently-widowed man who volunteers to be a driver for two authors (Aidan Quinn and Iben Hjejle) attending a literary festival in County Cork. The two have an unhappy history together, and the volunteer's life is invaded by manifestations both supernatural and perhaps not. An involving tale, well acted, craving at a crescendo which seems, under the circumstances, surprisingly plausible. Three stars
|
|
Kick-Ass / * (R)
|
"Kick-Ass" (R, 117 minutes). An 11-year-old girl (Chloe Grace Moretz), her father (Nicolas Cage) and a high school kid (Aaron Johnson) try got become superheroes to fight an evil ganglord. There's deadly carnage dished out by the child, after which an adult man brutally hammers her to within an inch of her life. Blood everywhere. A comic book satire, they say. Sad, I say. One star
