The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
People generally love or hate Wes Anderson movies. I figured I'd be in the former category, since the only other movie of his I've seen, Rushmore, is one of my all-time faves. Unfortunately, this movie just didn't do it for me. My grade: C-
Synopsis: Internationally famous oceanographer Steve Zissou and his crew -- Team Zissou -- set sail on an expedition to hunt down the mysterious, elusive, possibly non-existant Jaguar Shark that killed Zissou's partner during the documentary filming of their latest adventure. They are joined on their voyage by a young airline co-pilot who may or may not be Zissou's son, a beautiful journalist assigned to write a profile of Zissou, and Zissou's estranged wife and co-producer, Eleanor. They face overwhelming complications including pirates, kidnapping, and bankruptcy. (via Yahoo)

It was a strange movie, but a welcome alternative to the factory-produced entertainments churned out by the majors.
I saw half this movie. I just couldn't take it any more. Not a movie for me.
