THE DARJEELING LIMITED

THE DARJEELING LIMITED

Dir. Wes Anderson

Starring - Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Anjelica Huston, Natalie Portman

The Darjeeling Limited is the latest from off-beat virtuoso director Wes Anderson (Rushmore/The Royal Tanenbaums/The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou), described as an "emotional comedy about three brothers re-forging family bonds", set on a train trip across India. After viewing the trailer, the pic seems like another fun ride, Wes Anderson style, with an impeccable soundtrack. For any die hard Anderson fan, what more could you hope for? The cast is fantastic and the setting, inspiring. I'll definitely be there when this one opens on September 29.

Not to discount the quality of the film, but as for Oscar chances, I think it's best to say Anderson hasn't found his Oscar-bound voice yet.

Release Date - September 29, 2007

Oscar Buzz - Not so much. :(

MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS

As is always the case with Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai, early reviews from the recent premiere at Cannes were very mixed for his latest film 'MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS'. Many die hard fans are biting their nails, waiting to see just how successfully Kar-Wai makes the transition with his first English language film, featuring American stars such as Norah Jones, Jude law, Natalie Portman, Rachel Weisz, Ed Harris and even Chan Marshall (aka: Cat Power). We'll just have to wait until the film opens, sometime this fall via StudioCanal.
