The November MGC film is Bottle Rocket starring Owen and Luke Wilson. It is directed by contemporary filmaker Wes Anderson. It is the first major film work for Anderson and also the first of many films starring multiple Wilson brothers (Andrew).
This film went to video at a time when "indie" and "word-of-mouth" films were all the rage. Quentin Tarantino was becoming huge on the scene and Edward Burns had recently released The Brothers McMullen. I decided to take a look at it when it was released and it was one of the best films I saw that year. Great dialogue and the story was very unconventional. As we now know, Anderson does not do conventional. It is basically a story about friends wanting to commit a series of heists. The story is very character oriented and Owen Wilson is great as the "mastermind" of it all. He also co-wrote the film.
Please join us on Tuesday. We hope to see you there. Unfortunately, this will probably be the last MGC film for 2007 because the last Tuesday in December falls on Christmas Day. That obvioiusly won't work. We will be back on schedule in January and we believe 2008 will be a great year for the Movie Geeks Club.

Great movie! It pains me that I might this movie night.
I might "miss" this movie night. I forgot to write "miss". That pains me as well.
