There’s a lot of attitudes going on around here… don’t let me get one

Wise words from the visually delicious and fantastical Mr Fox. This weekend why not pay tribute to Mr Anderson with not one but two of his fabulous masterpieces. The basis for the film is obviously the work of the beloved Roald Dahl but Wes Anderson is definitely an entertainer of adults and cleverly brings a darkness to the fable. After Mrs Fox announces her pregnancy, the previously crafty Mr Fox has to reform. Anderson takes us two years (12 fox years) into the future where the Foxes and their other animal professional friends (Badger, Fox’s attorney is my favorite) are living a congenial lifestyle. That is until Mr Fox goes on one last rampage.

 Listen out for a (voice) cameo from Wes himself, cast as weasel, Mr Fox’s estate agent.

Next up the film that in it’s third week has knocked Need for Speed (!?!?) off the top of the UK box office listings, proof there is a film god after all. The Grand Budapest Hotel boasts a stellar cast and is cut from the same cloth as previous offerings (Royal Tenenbaums, Moonrise Kingdom) precise, eccentric, classy and colourful film making, architecturally neat and an unreal weekend retreat.
