We’re at the point now where, to a certain extent, we know what to expect from Wes Anderson. A charming screenplay, delightful production design, exquisitely composed cinamatography, and a barrel of actors we all wish we could take out for gin. The Grand Budapest Hotel delivers on all counts, as we knew it would, but…
The Monuments Men ticks all the boxes for Oscar bait. George Clooney is the star, co-writer and director. Hugh Bonneville’s in it, so is the legendary Bill Murray, and also Cate Blanchett who excels at everything she does. Oscar winner Jean Dujardin is a welcome addition to any film.

We’ve been lacking in Bill Murray love for a while, haven’t we? Aside from his all too brief appearance (for us, anyway) in Moonrise Kingdom last year, we’ve waited long enough for another heartwarming starring role from Murray. In comes Hyde Park on Hudson; sentimental, amusing and heartfelt, the film follows the love affairs and political concerns of Franklin D. Roosevelt at the start of the Second World War. Murray may deliver a wholly believable performance, but the film’s tendency to drift in between storylines severely and unfairly lets it down.
Bill Murray is back on our screens again as President Franklin Roosevelt in Hyde Park on Hudson. And would you believe it, we discovered that BFF has never produced a Bill Murray cheat sheet before? Outrageous! So we rustled some stuff together and knocked one out in honour of the great man for your delectation. Enjoy.
