TFR Ep. 125: Moonrise Kingdom, Inventory Of Ensemble Films
David Cunningham
Love. It can be complicated. Ambiguity, insecurity, jealousy, lustful and musty, and just a little painful if you’re doing it right. But the love in its purest form is something to behold. It can change your life. Transport you to a magical place, where nothing else matters but the time between those two people. You may not have thought the whole thing through, but hell, you’re only 12. Cut yourself some slack. So this week Dave’s man crush, Wes Anderson returns with Moonrise Kingdom. Featuring Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Frances McDormand, Bob Balaban, Tilda Swinton, and Anderson stalwarts, Jason Schwartzman & Bill Murray. Does Anderson’s quirky sense of humor and painterly direction find rebirth in this tale of young love, or is it time to book a ticket on the Darjeeling Limited and time to move on? We’ll review the big releases on Blu-Ray & DVD, then run down our Inventory of our favorite Ensemble Films. How much alcohol is too much when you’re serving a minor anyway? We’re The First Run.
