Rate   Jason in Hollywood | Mon, Nov 16

Mon, Nov 16 Sometimes it's hard to believe all the hype, but on this occasion I can safely say that Fantastic Mr. Fox is fabulously fantastic fun. It's the second movie in as many months where unconventional directors have been given the carte blanche to adapt beloved children's stories and in my humbl...

Ironic about this film’s reception (and, we’re back into it) is that it’s been embraced as something fresh and different from a director who apparently could only make one kind of film. With no intention of selling short the special beauty of Mr. Fox, it’s worth noting that thematically it i...

The voice acting in the film is perfect. George Clooney is great as the dashing, adventurous Mr. Fox. Another perfect casting pick is Jason Schwartzman as Ash. Schwartzman is great at playing arrogant characters. Look at his performance as Max in Rushmore to see a perfect example of this.
