The Royal Tenenbaums

I really enjoyed this film, moreso than I expected. I grabbed it on a lark to entertain me while home sick, and it stepped up to the job. I think my favorite performances were from Anjelica Huston, who was brilliantly focused and restrained, and Luke Wilson, who I'm sure I've seen more of, yet only remember from Legally Blonde. It took me probably half of the movie to truly be absorbed, but once I was, it was intense. I found the experience of the film strangely affecting, and I don't think it was the medicine I was on for my bronchitis. I suppose it is time for me to watch Rushmore.
