YouTubesday… The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

Wes Anderson, the director of Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, is a director that people love, yet I have no idea why. His movies are quirky but not “good” in my opinion. On the bright side, Anderson’s continual casting of Bill Murray makes up for his continual casting of Owen Wilson.

This fall Anderson will be releasing The Fantastic Mr. Fox in theaters starring all the people from his previous films plus George Clooney. It’s stop motion and reminds me of The Mouse and the Motorcycle.


(You should probably watch this in HD)


The Fantastic Mr. Fox is based off of the book written by Ronald Dahl.

General Stuff
Since January 2008 I have been using this blog to write about the books i've read and other book related news that I find interesting. I also find pirates interesting so from time to time I may blog about pirates. I see this as killing two birds with one stone.

Review Policy
Dear Publishers/Authors,

I am always willing to discuss reviewing you book on my blog. Discovering new authors is one of the things I love about book blogging. However, I do not accept all books for review. If it's not in my usual genre chances are I am going to decline the offer.

A couple of genres I dislike are: Self-Help, YA Paranormal, Hardcore Science-Fiction, and Depressing Memoirs.

Some genres I really enjoy: Pirates, Satire, Pulp Fiction, Queer Fiction, YA Fiction (Non-Paranormal and Non-Gossip Girl-esq) and Comical Memoirs.

Here's the thing. If you e-mail me asking me to review a book, I will always respond and let you know if I am interested or not. If you don't hear back from me, feel free to send a follow-up e-mail. No longer will I just ignore your e-mail.

-Colin Matthew
