The Royal Tenenbaums (The Criterion Collection)The Royal Tenenbaums (The Criterion Collection)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $7.00
This comedy, yet another created by the brilliant Wes Anderson is rich in dialogue, comedy and substance. Its rare that these two appetites are satisfied at once when being entertained. I recommend this to those who are ready to break out of the bland box of cereal hollywood tends to always serve.

This movie, created by Jean Jeunet Pierre, serves a dark comedy, but its charming and whimsical characters and story will seduce you into a blissful lighthearted state. I recommend this movie to anyone who is into the inspirational, ethereal experience.

I am a product of the 80s, and Robert Smith DID NOT seduce me until I watched this DVD at 37 years old, and now I can't get enough of The Cure, or Robert Smith. I am obsessed with his multifaceted brilliance.

Elizaabeth Wurtzel is now and probably will forever be my favorite female super hero. She is real, and she is so penetrating that she breathes the joy of life right into you by reminding you how to use pain and sorrow to fill you up with power.

RushmoreRushmore

This movie is the second directed by Sir Wes Anderson, and stars Jason Schwartzman as Max Fischer and Bill Murray as Herman Blume. If that isn't enough to make you want to see this movie, then you aren't worthy enough to see this movie.
Tragic Kingdom: The Art of Camille Rose GarciaTragic Kingdom: The Art of Camille Rose Garcia by Doug Harvey
Buy new: $26.37 / Used from: $22.50
Camille Rose Garcia is my most recent muse. Her art is coined as pop surrealism, and its beautifully executed, however, her paintings are much richer than eye candy if you look close enough.

"In the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia, even the guillotine." This is my favorite book so far, in the sphere of what I call life.
Donnie Darko (Widescreen Edition)Donnie Darko (Widescreen Edition)
Buy used from: $3.89
This movie, in my opinion was the science fiction version of "American Beauty". There are layers and layers of richness in this film, you won't be able to taste it all in one viewing.
A Man Without a CountryA Man Without a Country by Kurt Vonnegut
Buy new: $11.16 / Used from: $6.58
In my opinion, this book is underrated in the Vonnegut library. Its a small book, however, if you ever said things as eloquently as Vonnegut once did, you don't need a lot of pages.
