The Darjeeling Limited



Wes Anderson is my favorite director. Tomorrow his newest film, The Darjeeling Limited, will be released. Click here to watch the trailer, or watch it in high def by following the link, scrolling down the page and selecting that option. If you don't know Wes Anderson, he is the writer/ director of Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tennenbaums, and The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. Though some might find his films a bit on the quirky or eccentric side, I appreciate his willingness to probe the depths of the human spirit. I am particularly excited to see him work with Adrien Brody and also to work again with Jason Schwartzman.

I don't know, but I will look on rotten tomatoes and get back to you. Glad you are reading, by the way.
