Wes Anderson Accepts National Board of Review Award With Stop-Motion Speech
Wes Anderson continues to excel in the indie arena, and doing things with a fresh perspective. On Tuesday he accepted his Special Achievement in Filmmaking award for “Fantastic Mr. Fox” from the National Board of Review – with a stop-motion acceptance speech. Seriously – that is pretty darn cool to use the same animation that [...]
Sam Mendes Directing James Bond 23
People always ask me, “Blake, who is your favorite director?”, and I can never seem to answer. Over all the years of cinema there has been a lot of directors who have made a lot of leaps forward in the film making process. When you narrow it down to modern directors I can name off [...]
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Wes Anderson returns to the screen with a film that fits into his little world only this time with a bunch of talking animals from the wonderful fable by Roald Dahl. Mr. Fox was always a daring individual, and stole live stock for a living before he met Mrs. Fox and was planning on having [...]

Don’t mistake these films for kids movies either, suitable for children for sure, but just for kids, not at all. Both [...]
The Decade’s Best – The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)
Wes Anderson’s “action” movie sticks to the themes that you find in a lot of his films and the results are a fantastic blend of adventure, farce, humor, sadness, and drama that not only gives us Anderson’s spin on the action/adventure genre drama but serves as an excellent character study of a man on the [...]
More Fantastic Mr. Fox Pictures, from USA Today
I love Wes Anderson, easily one of my top 5 favorite directors, and I can’t wait to see what he does with his first feature length foray into stop motion animation. The images we have seen so far are gorgeous and everything we are hearing is that we should expect a Wes Anderson film, and [...]
First Look at Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox
I am a big Wes Anderson fan, like huge, and I am really excited about his forray into stop motion animation. How will his style translate, will he keep said style, or will this have something all new in store for us. Either way, I can’t wait, and apparently Fox is as well as they [...]
