Wes Anderson Delivers

You bet your bottom dollar you'll find me at the movie theater Friday evening with wide eyes for Wes Anderson's latest creation, "The Grand Budapest Hotel." Historically, Wes Anderson's films haven't tickled the fancy of all movie folk, however this one is worthy of giving a second glance. Critics are already calling it "the film of the year" and there seems to be new cheery chatter every day. Be sure to read this article in the NY Times before you buy your popcorn (or hot dog, in my case).

Keeping Tabs

I will most definitely be keeping tabs on The Two Faces of January, a thriller based on the 1964 novel by Patricia Highsmith. The film, expected to be released in a few months, stars Kirsten Dunst, Viggo Mortensen and Oscar Isaac who are caught up in a murder in Athens. Behind the film is the author of The Talented Mr. Ripley, which alone, will seduce many movie goers and is perhaps responsible for the film's old school noir trope style.
