ISLE OF DOGS: Featuring an all-star voice-cast including Scarlett Johansson, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Tilda Swenton, Bryan Cranston, Jeff Goldblum, Yoko Ono, Liev Schreiber, Frances McDormand, F. Murray Abraham and Harvey Keitel, this Wes Anderson film utilizing some stop-motion animation is unlike anything I've ever seen. In the city of Megasaki, Japan, an illness breaks out among the canine population and they are all exiled to a vast garbage-dump called Trash Island by the corrupt Mayor. But in the exiled group is also a beloved dog that belonged to the mayor's ward, Atari. When he decides to try and find him, the adventure begins. Filled with cinematic brilliance, this film is a wonder to behold. But be forewarned, this is not for youngsters and contains many political references and humor that will go right over their heads. So leave the kids at home but go and enjoy this one of a kind experience. (Have you ever seen an animated kidney transplant?) What a trip for the avid moviegoer.
