"Across The Hall" Hits Stores
-Posted by: Quivi
Brittany's 2005 movie "Across The Hall" is now coming out on DVD and Blu-Ray. Be sure to get your copy for your collection. You can Order "Across The Hall" Online Here
Here's a review: At first glance, Across the Hall has the look of one of those "stylish thrillers" with little substance below its glossy veneer. But there's more to this story, which director Alex Merkin and screenwriter Jesse Mittelstadt expanded from its original incarnation as a 2005 short film. Danny Pino costars as Terry, an insecure, short-fused guy who's convinced that his girlfriend, June (Brittany Murphy), is cheating on him--so convinced, in fact, that he has followed her to a funky hotel (one of those spooky places with few other guests and an oddball porter oozing portentous nuttiness) and booked the room across the hall from hers, where he stares through the peephole, armed with a gun and very bad intent. Jesse calls his best bud Julian (Mike Vogel) and confesses what he's up to, which sets in motion a series of plot twists, some fairly predictable (viewers good at such things will certainly see them coming) and some not at all. The action jumps around in terms of both time frame and point of view, but Merkin, who was also the editor, makes it all work. And while the film has its share of timeworn tricks and devices (including cell phones ringing in all the wrong places and the old "did he take the elevator or the stairs?" bit), not to mention a couple of overly convenient plot developments, Merkin handily maintains a kind of noirish tension throughout its tidy, 90-minute running time. Stylish indeed--but good, too. --Sam Graham

Actress Brittany Murphy has died.
It's been confirmed the actress, aged 32, who was the star of films like Just Married and 8 Mile, passed away at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles.
Her publicist, Nicole Perna, released a statement reading: "In this time of sadness, the family thanks you for your love and support.
"It is their wish that you respect their privacy."
TMZ alleges Brittany went into cardiac arrest and that her mother reportedly discovered her in the shower, but this has not been confirmed.
Brittany was married to Simon Monjack, a British screenwriter and the couple lived in Los Angeles.
According to People, Brittany was "found unresponsive" on Sunday morning in her Hollywood home. She was then taken to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre and was pronounced dead just after 10am (US Time).
Actor Ashton Kutcher, whom she used to date, and starred alongside in the comedy Just Married, posted a message on Twitter which read: "2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine.
"My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany's family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon."
The LA County Coroner's Office will be conducting an autopsy as soon as possible, reports People.
Captain John Kades of the Coroner's office told People: "Foul play is not suspected at this time because there were no outward signs of trauma or other injuries."

Brittany is rumored to be attached to yet an other movie for this year, "Poor Things". The movie is inspired by real news events and crime scandals surrounding recent arrests and convictions of mischievous elderly women. The various "grandma gangs" exploits have included scams and cons involving drug sales, insurance fraud, and murder.
This year Brittany is leading her voice again, for "Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs" which will hit theaters on June. Brittany also has two other movies in pre-production, "Sin City 2" and "The White Hotel".
