Moonrise Kingdom is a great little film by Wes Anderson. He did The Life Aquatic, The Royal Tannebaums, to name just two.
Did you see The Fantastic Mr. Fox? I thought it was great. I know that some folks around here can’t stand George Clooney but politics aside he is a great (voice) actor in the film. It helps if you can appreciate Roald Dahl’s twisted sense of humor.
