Fantastic Mr. Fox

I am way behind on this blog.  I've actually been thinking about ending it but I know I have fun reading your all's (Kewpie Girls) and keeping up with you that way so maybe, just maybe I'll keep it up.  But before I get to the Christmas, New Years, etc. posts I wanted to tell you to go see the movie "Fantastic Mr. Fox" by my favorite director, Wes Anderson.

Now I have be honest and and say that  I was not a huge fan of his previous two films, "The Darjeeling Limited" and "The Life Aquatic."  But his first three films, "Bottle Rocket," "Rushmore," and "The Royal Tenenbaums" are three of my favorite movies.  "Fantastic Mr. Fox" felt like those three movies and was so, for lack of better words, cute!  As most Anderson movies do, this one had a great soundtrack and Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray did not disappoint.  George Clooney was great too! 


I went by myself and sat there with a smile on my face the whole time.  I know not everyone is as big of a Wes Anderson fan as I am but if you have the time and can use a nice movie escape then please go see it.

You better not end the blog!
I feel so much more up to date on what is going on in your life b/c of the blog. Facebook will not cut it, okay?

Thanks for the movie review. I like Wes Anderson movies, too.

Dude that movie was awesome! I didn't like his last two either but the royal t's is my favorite. Sarah and I like to dress up as characters from his movies for Halloween. Ritchie and Margot one year and team zizzou another.

James-those are great Halloween costumes! I was afraid that Wes was never going to make another movie that I would love. Mr. Fox made up for the last two for sure!
