Empire:
Fresh pics from Wes Anderson's latest.
A new Wes Anderson film is always something to get excited about, and Moonrise Kingdom looks to be no exception. While the title might suggest that it's a fantasy role-playing game, in fact it's a star-studded story of young love. And a few new images have now hit the web to give us a clue what we're in for.
The story concerns two 12 year-olds, Sam and Suzy (newcomers Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward), who fall in love during the summer of 1965 in New England. They make a secret pact and run away together - but a violent storm is building and there's a frantic search to find them.
"On Sunday, we’ll bear witness to the most recent batch of actors, filmmakers, and writers duke it out for the title as Greatest Person In History. I’m kidding, of course, but even without the Oscars being a WWE grudge match (which I would most definitely watch, by the way: think mud wrestling between Jessica Chastain and Jennifer Lawrence), it is an exciting time for film buffs worldwide. Will Argo continue its winning spree even without the Best Director nomination for Ben Affleck? Will Daniel Day-Lewis become the first actor in history to win three Oscars for Best Actor? Will Quentin Tarantino shrug off a nearly 20-year curse of nomination-only recognition and finally take home an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for Django Unchained? All these questions and more will be answered on Sunday." - Joe Marino of Geekenstein.com
"2012 was a fantastic year for movies. The world may be getting more cynical, but entertainment is adapting to that with some of the most charming or incredibly bombastic and awesome movies. I love movies and I’m glad 2012 saw it fit to give me at least 10 amazing ones." - David Rhinehart of Geekenstein.com

2012 has been a year of great movies and of course horrible really not good in any way movies.

In the next two days we’ll let you in on our list of the Top 5 Films of the Year, Top 5 Surprisingly Great Films of the Year, The Top 5 Films You Hate to Admit You Loved in 2012 and The Top 5 Worst Films of the year.
I've been seeing and hearing little things hear and there about this movie for a while now so I guess it's getting closer to being released. The trailer was out not too long ago and I think it's going to be both funny and endearing.
Wes Anderson certainly does have a unique style. I don't think it works all the time, but I'm willing to give this movie a shot.
