Netflix Watch Instantly Pick of the Week - 11/26/12

Bottle Rocket

From 1996, Bottle Rocket is Wes Anderson's first feature length film, co-written and made with fellow first timers Owen Wilson and Luke Wilson, and what a way to start this gaggle of varying careers, most notably that of reluctant actor turned movie star Owen Wilson, and most interestingly that of writer/director Wes Anderson, who has carved out an incredible niche for himself in the modern movie landscape in the fact that he has developed a distinctive and what many say "quirky" style which is easily distinguishable from the rest of the crap out there (though really this is because most people don't notice that he is actually aping the cinema greats of the 1960's French New Wave movement, what with their over stylization, painstaking detail to set design, and attention to strange character details), and much of his style and quirk can be found in Bottle Rocket, which includes the use of a fantastic score penned by Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh, and this great debut can be seen on the Netflix Instant so get to watching and enjoy and oh yeah James Caan is in this too so that's cool.

Watch it Instantly right here on Netflix!
