Moonrise Kingdom Review
I really liked Moonrise Kingdom! Wes Anderson can be pretentious, but I love his visual aesthetic, and I really respect that he is able to make a movie where you can see his touch in every detail. Also, this. (Bill Murray is dead on about the costumes.)
Cooger & Dark’s Pandemonium Shadow Show
