2009’s Top 10 Repeat Offenders in Wes Anderson and Bill Murray

Who you gonna call…when you need some comic relief? If your name is Wes Anderson you need deadpan or someone to play the part of a badger you call upon Bill Murray. Jim Jarmusch called upon Murray again this year, but its Murray’s calorie-adding supporting voice-work as a real-estate agent that made me refer to him separately from his co-stars in the number 5 spot. There really isn’t much to say except Anderson and Murray are two peas in a pod.
