I love Wes Anderson's movies since they're so quirky and layered like your dad's ascot or finding a local bookstore's bookmark in the leatherbound books in the private school you never went to. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (website) was so much fun, made even more so by the fact that it was the first movie of the day and effectively empty. I'm not really smart enough to review the movie, but great repeat performances from Bill Murray, Angelica Huston, Owen Wilson, and some hillarious performances from Jeff Goldblum, Cate Blanchett, and Willem Dafoe.  The relationship between Murray and Huston (and Goldblum; their characters played an estranged threesome) was just great and the dialog askew enough, the characters crenelated enough, the subtle details obvious enough to keep me smirking throughout.

Afterwards, I went to Best Buy to look for the soundtrack but the lot was full with people returning Christmas gifts.  I looked on iTunes, but the whole album isn't there (one of the actors, Seu Jorge, also did great renditions of Bowie tunes, acoustically and in portugese throughout the whole movie and with Mark Mothersbaugh doing the soundtrack, how could I not get), so maybe Barnes later.

The only notable preview was the Hitchhiker's Guide (website), which didn't show much, except that it was a Disney film. Oh, right and some scary movie (Dark Water) by the Ring author with the always beautiful Jennifer Connelly.
