ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC: Screw New Moon, Fantastic Mr. Fox is finally here and that's enough to make us completely forget about all of this crazy vampire nonsense. As Wes Anderson's first attempt in animation--and stop-motion animation at that--Fantastic Mr. Fox, written by the fantastic Roald Dahl, was our all-time favorite book circa sixth grade, and we couldn't be more excited about it being on the big screen. Expect to hear all of your favorite Anderson castmates, such as Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, the blonde one Owen Wilson, and new additions such as Jarvis Cocker (whoa!), George Clooney, and Meryl Streep, along with Anderson, himself, voicing a weasel. Wow. We only go to the movies about once or twice a year, but after watching the trailer back in September, we've been anticipating this week for quite some time. So instead of waiting in the long vampire lines (you know they won't have sex), come see adorable foxes, weasels, and badgers fight against the mean farmers for those tasty chickens and their fantastic lives. more ›

Nick Zammuto and Paul de Jong ensure that the varied instrumentation remains equal in their sound, with neither the digital nor the handmade dominating; instead, The Books thread it all together into a rich aural and visual pastiche. We're so there. more ›
