Wes Anderson

I appreciate the cinematography and approach, but I was literally saddened by the Tenenbaums. "Bottle Rocket" was quirky fun, and I was going to rent "Rushmore", but keep forgetting.

I guess that one man's fish and chips is another man's tooth and boot. I love everything about 'The Royal Tenenbaums'...I just thought it was charming, funny, irreverent, sweet and beautifully made.

As your doctor, I recommend you go and rent 'Rushmore'. NOW!

Well said...I loved The Royal Tenenbaums for many reasons too. Other people I've spoken to found it dark and sad, but I thought those qualities only worked towards it's humor
Great film

Man-o-man-o-man, I've yet to see a Wes Anderson movie that hasn't made me say: "Suck my balls! That's a great movie!". Rushmore is one of my all-time favorites, The Royal Tenenbaums is close to perfect and I have recently gained an even greater appreciation of Bottle Rocket. Also, The Life Aquatic is just beautiful.

However, I'm a little worried about his next movie. It's an animated adaptation of Roald Dahl's 'The Fantastic Mr. Fox'. It's a great book, but I'm not too hot on the animation idea. Anyway, I hope it succeeds.

I'm with the lovers, I adore his films, Rushmore is my favourite, and Life Aquatic is just stunning.
