The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

I thought this was an interesting movie - seeing what Anderson could do on a much larger scale than he normally operates with.

I think I went into the Life Aquatic with lowered expectations, and came out pretty satisfied. It was charming. I enjoyed all of the characters, and didn't have a problem with their eccentricities, even Owen Wilson. I also liked Willem Dafoe for the first time EVER, which surprised me.

I really enjoyed all the Bowie songs. Loved Goldblum's encounter with the dog, Cody.

It's not at the top of my list of Anderson movies (but I'd rate it over Bottle Rocket), but I still enjoyed it.

Thanks, now I'm looking forward to it again. I couldn't believe how it got Mel Gibsoned in the Movies folder.

Sometimes I think they forget how to have fun watching movies.
