New movie "Isle of Dogs" from Wes Anderson

So many people I know have dogs and almost everyone I know loves dogs.  Not all of those people know or love Wes Anderson movies but they should.  He is the master at oddness in movies, strange but enticing stories, and he almost always has the same cast of characters:  Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Scarlett Johansson, Bruce Willis, Frances McDormand and so many more.  Witness "Moonrise Kingdom" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and "Fantastic Mr. Fox" and "Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" and many more.  All are wonderful but quirky and not mainstream.

His newest movie, just out today is "Isle of Dogs" and you should google it and read the New York Times review of this movie.  It sounds bleak and sad but also realistically uplifting and spirited.  In stop motion animation (or something like that) it's the story of dogs that are sequestered on a trashy island off Japan and they live a sad life.  

But there is more than that, of course, and I cannot wait to see it. Check out the trailers, just google it.  And Rotten Tomatoes has already given it more that 90% approval rating and it has hardly been released yet!  Such is the power of dogs.
