"Just Wright" Movie Trailer & NY Daily News Review

"Just Wright" Movie Review

Hollywood often relegates its most interesting actresses to genre films or supporting roles, and Queen Latifah's been no exception. But she should be a leading lady, and she knows it: That's why she produced "Just Wright" herself.

As it turns out, director Sanaa Hamri depends a little too much on her charismatic star in the hopes that Latifah can elevate average material. And to an impressive degree, she does. But ultimately, this one-of-a-kind woman deserves more than a one-size-fits-all romance.

The title refers to Leslie Wright (Latifah), a physical therapist living in New Jersey with marriage-obsessed parents (James Pickens Jr., Pam Grier) and a social-climbing best friend, Morgan (Paula Patton). Though Leslie's the die-hard Nets fan, it's beautiful Morgan who snares an NBA fiance, All-Star player Scott McKnight (rapper Common).

When Scott shreds his knee, and his prospects, Morgan swiftly moves out of his Manhattan mansion. Meanwhile, Leslie moves in, as a full-time therapist and psychological cheerleader.

What should happen next is that Leslie and Scott strike unmistakable sparks and fall madly in love. What actually happens is that Common and Latifah build a beautiful friendship, while awkwardly fulfilling a story line that pushes them together in the most obvious ways.

The chemistry between the leads is more cozy than sexy, but the biggest issue is Latifah's noticeable - and admirable - discomfort with the rom-com clichés found throughout Michael Elliot's screenplay. When characters plot to snag a husband, for example, or she's required to swan down the stairs like Cinderella, this icon of individuality looks distinctly uncomfortable.

On the other hand, when she gets to banter with Scott's mom (a delightful Phylicia Rashad), or cheer on the Nets - suspend your skepticism at their success - she relaxes and has a genuinely good time. In those moments, so do we.

Latifah has talent and personality to spare, so it would be great to see her taking on more romantic roles. But to sell herself short in the process? Clearly, even she knows that's just wrong.

"Death At A Funeral" 2010 Trailer: Chris Rock, Danny Glover, Martin Lawrence & Zoe Saldana

Death At A Funeral (2010 film)

Death at a Funeral is a 2010 American black comedy, and a adaptation of the 2007 British film of the same name.

The less than three-year gap between the original and this film makes this one of the fastest remakes of an English language film in modern Hollywood history. Unlike the 2007 film, this features a largely African-American ensemble cast, with Peter Dinklage reprising his role from the original.

Just like the British film, the film is rated R in the U.S. for strong language, graphic nudity, and drug use.

Plot

When Aaron and Ryan's father passes away, their family and friends join them at their father's funeral resulting in a series of comedic and unfortunate events. They soon find out that their father was living a double life as a gay man. The plot thickens when the father's gay partner shows up, who happens to be a mean, bearded midget.

He tries to blackmail the family using photos of their father taking part in comical homosexual acts.

"Abandoned" Movie Trailer, Starring Brittany Murphy

Pictures Of Brittany Murphy In Last Movie Surface; "Abandoned" director: She "Was A Pro"

Photos of fallen star Brittany Murphy playing what would be her final movie role have emerged -- and the director who guided her in "Abandoned" is adamantly refuting claims the actress was difficult to work with.

"It hurts me to hear all this salacious stuff because my experience with Brittany was really one of my best experiences with an actress," director Michael Feifer told People.com.

"Brittany was a pro," he said. "When she needed to turn it on, she just threw a switch and she was on ... playing frantic came really easy and playing sweet came really easy."

In the film, Murphy plays a woman desperately trying to find her boyfriend when he vanishes from a hospital. During the course of the movie, London's Daily mail reported, her character, Mary Walsh, faces down threats to her life -- and her sanity.

Murphy's British screenwriter husband, Simon Monjack, also was involved in the flick, working on the actress’ hair and makeup.

"The two of them really took care of each other," Feifer told The Associated Press. "He was her teddy bear, and she was just his little princess."

Feifer hopes to release the indie thriller –- which Murphy shot in June -- in 2010.

At least one colleague who worked with her on a movie set in recent months -- while praising her work ethic -- raised concerns about the actress' health.

"She looked ill, as much as 10 pounds underweight, and she's a small person to begin with," Scott Chambers reportedly told the Los Angeles Times. "She easily could have made an excuse not to come to work, but she didn't. She said, 'I've got to get better, but I want to do this part.' "

Chambers was an executive producer on the thriller "Something Wicked."

Murphy finished shooting the flick, in which she plays a psychiatrist, just days before beginning work on "Abandoned."

After finishing "Abandoned," Murphy worked on a film called "The Caller," but left the project over what her representative described as "creative differences," People.com reports.

The 32-year-old "Clueless" and "Sin City" star died after collapsing at her Hollywood home Sunday morning.

Her husband has vociferously struck back at rumors swirling that Murphy's death was an overdose.

"I'm confident it wasn't an overdose," he told the Daily News. "She was not a drug addict."

He confirmed that investigators hauled away a trove of prescription medicines -- "but nothing else," calling reports the beauty abused drugs "rubbish."
