“Lush visuals, interesting music, a witty script and a timeless theme explored by talent that’s to die for.” By Gwendolyn Kocher, Sep 21
“Not suited for the little ones, ‘Death Becomes Her’ is an entirely sassy, high-energy and go-for-broke take on the 1992 black comedy fantasy movie directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn and Bruce Willis.” By Mark MeszorosReviewed in Cleveland, OH
