The Darjeeling Limited

Hey,

As I stated in a previous posting, I really like Wes Anderson films. His 5th installment in his catalogue is no different. The Darjeeling Limited is a story that revolves around the relationship of 3 estranged brothers, Francis, Peter, and Jack Witman (Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody & Jason Schwartzman respectively), a year after their fathers death. It was their fathers death that drove the brothers apart, but Francis is making it his duty to reunite them.

This movie is 100% Wes Anderson. If you are looking for a 'new style' of movie, this isn't it. It's his style. It has the standard dysfunctional family story, with elaborate, yet cheap/cheesy looking backgrounds, all working really well together.

The DVD also has the short film Hotel Chevalier, that prologues the film which I thought was an interesting way to start the film. The soundtrack, as per usual, is filled with great tunes.

Anyway, before I rant any longer about this, just go see it. I bought the DVD blindly, but thats because I like his work. It's up to you. I wouldn't say this is his best film, but definitely not his worst....is there a worst? This is a great film, but not his funniest. Worth the purchase in my eyes. Waiting for the next one.

Anyway heres my ranking:

**** - The Darjeeling Limited- due solely to it not being as funny as the rest and Bill Murray ...well...watch it.

N/A - Bottle Rocket - Haven't seen it in a long time

**** 1/2 - Rushmore

***** - The Royal Tenenbaums

**** 1/2 - The Life Aquatic

I haven't made a post in while, and I can't promise this is gonna be a good one, but here goes. I have never been one to listen to Podcasts, but my brother got me listening to one. Its a podcast with Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier (writer, director & producer of films; Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma etc) and they just shoot the shit. To be honest I don't know what other podcasts are like (are they just people talking?), but this one is pretty cool to me. Its just two guys shooting the shit. If you want, give 'em a listen, but don't expect life altering dialogue about anything. A highlight of the show was Kevin Smith talking about washing dog cum off of another dog in the shower. Funny to me at least. Cum bubbles? Maybe. You'll have to listen I guess.
