ONVIDEO'S WEEKLY GUIDE TO HOME VIDEO RELEASES
For Tuesday, February 26 -- Monday, March 3
Beowulf
In a time of heroes, the mighty warrior Beowulf slays the demon Grendel and incurs the wrath of its monstrous yet seductive mother, in a conflict that transforms a king into a legend. Neil Gaiman ("MirrorMask," the graphic novel Sandman) and Roger Avary ("Pulp Fiction") adapted the legend for the screen. Lots of computer-generated effects and characters. Vitals: Director: Robert Zemeckis. Stars: Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Ray Winstone, John Malkovich, Brendan Gleeson, Dominic Keating, Alison Lohman, Robin Wright Penn, Ray Winstone. 2007, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 113 min., Fantasy, Box office gross: $81.512 million, Company.
Darjeeling Limited, The
Three American brothers who have not spoken to each other in a year set off on a train voyage across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other -- to become brothers again like they used to be. Their "spiritual quest", however, veers rapidly off-course (due to events involving over-the-counter pain killers, Indian cough syrup, and pepper spray), and they eventually find themselves stranded alone in the middle of the desert with eleven suitcases, a printer, and a laminating machine. At this moment, a new, unplanned journey suddenly begins. Vitals: Director: Wes Anderson. Stars: Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman, Amara Karan, Wallace Wolodarsky, Waris Ahluwalia, Barbet Schroeder, Camilla Rutherford, Bill Murray, Anjelica Huston. 2007, CC, MPAA rating: R, 91 min., Comedy, Box office gross: $11.175 million, Fox.
Death at a Funeral
A dignified send-off for a loved one erupts into chaos when romance, jealousy, in-laws, hallucinogens, dark secrets, life-long yearnings and a spot of bold blackmail all collide in this irreverent British comedy. On the morning of their father's funeral, the family and friends of the deceased each arrive with his or her own roiling anxieties. Son Daniel (Matthew Macfadyen) knows he will have to face his flirty, blow-hard, famous-novelist brother Robert (Rupert Graves) who's just flown in from New York, not to mention the promises of a new life he's made to his wife Jane (Keely Hawes). Meanwhile, Daniel's cousin Martha (Daisy Donovan) and her dependable new fiance Simon (Alan Tudyk) are desperate to make a good impression on Martha's uptight father -- a plan that literally goes out the window when Simon accidentally ingests a designer drug en route to the service, leaving him prone to uncontrollable bouts of delirium and nudity in front of his potential in-laws. Then comes the real shocker: a mysterious guest (Peter Dinklage) who threatens to unveil an earth-shattering family secret. As riotous mayhem and unfortunate mishaps ensue on every front, it is now up to the two brothers to hide the truth from their family and friends and figure out how to not only bury their dearly beloved, but the secret he's been keeping. Vitals: Director: Frank Oz. Stars: Matthew Macfayden, Rupert Graves, Peter Dinklage, Alan Tudyk, Daisy Donovan, Kris Marshall, Andy Nyman, Jane Asher. 2007, CC, MPAA rating: R, 91 min., Comedy, Box office gross: $8.545 million, MGM.
Goya's Ghosts
Sweeping romantic tale told through the eyes of the celebrated Spanish painter, Francisco Goya (Stellan Skarsgard). Set against the backdrop of political turmoil at the end of the Spanish Inquisition and the start of Napoleon's invasion of Spain, the film tells the story of the famed artist and the extreme duality of his subjects. Goya was revered for his colorful depictions of the royal court and its people; while also capturing the grim brutality of war and life in 18th century Spain. When his beautiful muse (Natalie Portman) is accused of being a heretic, Goya must convince his old friend Lorenzo (Javier Bardem), a power-hungry monk and leader of the Spanish Inquisition, to spare her life. Vitals: Director: Milos Forman. Stars: Javier Bardem, Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgard, Randy Quaid. 2007, CC, MPAA rating: R, 113 min., Drama, Box office gross: $1.000 million, Sony.
Silk
The story of a married silkworm merchant-turned-smuggler in 19th century France traveling to Japan for his town's supply of silkworms after a disease wipes out their African supply. Based on the best-selling novel by Alessandro Baricco, "Silk" is a romantic drama that spans two continents. Herve Joncour's (Michael Pitt) devotion to his beautiful bride Helene (Keira Knightley) is tested by increasingly, dangerous trade missions in search of silkworms for his towns survival. From his journeys to Japan, Herve brings great wealth for his village, but with each return to the Far East he becomes torn by the temptation of a local warlord's sensuous concubine and his love for Helene. Vitals: Director: Francois Girard. Stars: Michael Pitt, Keira Knightley, Sei Ashina, Toni Bertorelli, Kenneth Welsh, Martha Burns, Alfred Molina. 2007, CC, MPAA rating: R, 110 min., Romantic Drama, Box office gross: $1.107 million, New Line.
30 Days of Night
Producer Sam Raimi ("Spider-Man") brings audiences the terrifying thriller "30 Days of Night," set in the isolated town of Barrow, Alaska, in the extreme northern hemisphere, which is plunged into complete darkness annually for an entire month. When most of the inhabitants head south for the winter, a mysterious group of strangers appear: bloodthirsty vampires, ready to take advantage of the uninterrupted darkness to feed on the town's residents. As the night wears on, Barrow's Sheriff Eben (Josh Hartnett), his estranged wife Stella (Melissa George), and an ever-shrinking group of survivors must do anything they can to last until daylight. Vitals: Director: David Slade. Stars: Josh Hartnett, Melissa George, Danny Huston, Ben Foster, Manu Bennett. 2007, CC, MPAA rating: R, 113 min., Horror, Box office gross: $39.568 million, Sony.

NEWS
Coming Soon:
Universal has set a March 18 release for "Atonement,"
starrng Keira Knightley, James McAvoy, Romola Garai, Saoirse Ronan,
Brenda Blethyn, Vanessa Redgrave and Juno Temple. The critically
acclaimed story of love, betrayal, and all its consequences is an
adaptation of Ian McEwan's best-selling 2002 novel. Shot on location in
the U.K., the film's story spans several decades, beginning in 1935
when a young girl catches her sister in a passionate embrace with a
childhood friend, and her jealousy drives her to tell a lie that will
irrevocably change the course of all their lives forever. From Joe
Wright, the award-winning director of "Pride and Prejudice."
"Atonement" nabbed a best original score Oscar on Sunday night.DVD Collectibles:
Due this week from The Criterion Collection is Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Last Emperor"
(1987), starring John Lone, Joan Chen and Peter O'Toole, in a four-disc
set with an all-new restored, high-definition digital transfer,
supervised and approved by cinematographer Vittorio Storaro as well as
an all-new restored, high-definition digital transfer of the extended
television version. "The Last Emperor" won nine Academy Awards,
unexpectedly sweeping every category in which it was nominated -- quite
a feat for a challenging, multilayered epic directed by an Italian and
starring an international cast. Yet the power and scope of the film
was, and remains, undeniable -- the life of emperor Pu Yi, who took the
throne at age three, in 1908, before witnessing decades of cultural and
political upheaval, within and outside of the walls of the Forbidden
City. Recreating Qing-dynasty China with astonishing detail and
unparalleled craftsmanship by cinematographer Vittorio Storaro and
production designer Ferdinando Scarfiotti, "The Last Emperor" is also
an intimate character study of one man reconciling personal
responsibility and political legacy. As with all Criterion releases,
this one dazzles with bonus materials, including commentary by
Bertolucci, a host of documentaries, interviews, and a booklet
featuring essays by David Thomson and an extract from script supervisor
Fabien Gerard's journals from the production.From TV to Video:
