The Royal Tenenbaums (The Criterion Collection)653 reviews
Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller

Touchstone Pictures, 2002

best movie, ever

+ the royal tenenbaums
+ Delightful

With Wes Anderson movies, most people either love or hate the films. I think it's either you get it or you don't. With the Tenenbaums, I absolutely loved every second of the film from the first time I saw it in the theater in 2001. Gene Hackman is perfectly cast as Royal with his sometimes ...

this version is outdated!

+ I LOVE THIS GIFT!
+ non-usa customers beware

Buy the 9 DVD set directly from the New Yorker at half the price. I discovered this AFTER I bought from Amazon and when I pointed this out, they were of no help. Amazon basically told me it was my problem - caveat emptor!

Back Bay Books, 2001

Fun Fanaticism

+ Entertaining and intelligent

Having first read Salinger's collection of Nine Stories as a college student, these short stories have remained in my thoughts for years. "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" (first published in the The New ...
