» Dividing the Estate and Just Buried

I don't know how I missed it, but Horton Foote's latest play is entitled "Dividing the Estate," and as the title suggests, it's about a fight over an inheritance. It's playing in New York City (details here).

Also, a movie that's probably a little less classy: Just Buried, starring Jay Baruchel of the wonderful TV series "Undeclared." The trailer is here -- a description:

After inheriting a funeral home in a small town where no one is dying, Oliver (Jay Baruchel) and his embalmer girlfriend (Rose Byrne) start bumping off townsfolk to drum up business.

And no, that description doesn't give me any ideas.
