The Royal Tenenbaums (The Criterion Collection)

Touchstone Pictures, 2002
the royal tenenbaums
+ best movie, ever
+ Delightful
I think that Wes Anderson has done a wonderful job directing this film. Initially upon the first viewing I wasn't a hundred percent in love with the movie, however this is the type of film that should be viewed more than once. Every time you watch it you learn something or catch some joke that you ...

Not for everyone
This is one of those movies you either love or you hate. I like it, but I am not suprised that it has drawn some very negative reviews. It's not for everyone.

The United States of Leland
Don Cheadle, Ryan Gosling
Paramount, 2004
The Ethics of Pain
+ Ryan Gosling is turning out to be a very interesting fellow
+ My 2nd Favorite Movie

Ghost Dog - The Way of the Samurai
Forest Whitaker, Henry Silva
Artisan Entertainment, 2001
Stunning offbeat hitman movie
+ Surprisingly good
This is a real gem - a cool, Eastern influenced assassin movie. It has a great performance from Forest Whitaker and some stunning action, as well as a heart and soul that place it well above the above hitman movie. This is a brilliant film, strongly recommended.

Why They Should Take Wes Anderson's Money Away
+ Bottle Rocket - A Early Wes Anderson Hit
+ My Favorite Film
"Rushmore" was my first Wes Anderson film. I fell in love with that movie (I remember noticing about halfway through it that I literally couldn't get the smile off of my face), and I tracked this film down as a result.
When I first watched "Bottle Rocket", I thought it was an excellent ...
