I just LOVE Wes Anderson films. You enter into his quirky, colourful universe which is always unique and bizarre but somewhat familiar and comfortable at the same time. I don't know how he does it. The characters, the clothes, the dialogue, the soundtrack....every little detail is perfect.
I recently saw his latest Moonrise Kingdom and it is fantastic - such a nice break from the superhero and sci-fi blockbusters this summer. You can't help falling in love with it all. The cast is brilliant - the two leads are so good at such a young age. Bruce Willis has never been better (I admit I have been secretly in love with Bruce Willis since he did Moonlighting on TV ages ago) and Jason Schwartzman was actually hot in the few minutes he was on screen (maybe it was the Ray-Bans or his being unshaven with short hair for once or his tight scout uniform or all of the above - OK it was a moment of weakness).
His film-making is so original. Even the books she carries around and reads out loud to the boys are made-up...with their beautiful and appropriate covers and titles and words.
You must CLICK on this amazing website - it's unbelievably creative and so much fun. And Bob Balaban is the best.

Of Wes's films, my all-time favourite is The Darjeeling Limited. I can watch that over and over and over again.
