Admit One
On the new movie scene, there are two entries that deserve viewing.
Having seen it, I can vouch for "Death at a Funeral,'' a merry debunking of family unity from England that's directed by Frank Oz, the man who made one of the funniest movies, ever _ "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.''
About "The Invasion,'' I can only offer these hopeful points (without having screened it yet): (1) It's derived from Don Siegel's creepy classic, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers'' (1956); (2) it stars Nicole Kidman, and perhaps most important, (3) it co-stars Daniel Craig, the most dynamic actor working in movies today.
Even if "The Invasion'' doesn't measure up to its '50s' inspiration, it has good bones, and two big, big talents to keep us amused _ Kidman and Craig.
