	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Royal prerogative (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Royal Prerogative is a body of customary authority, privilege, and immunity, recognised in common law jurisdictions possessing a monarchy as belonging to the Crown alone.
		In Commonwealth Realms, the Royal Prerogative is very similar in nature to the prerogative in the United Kingdom, but is exercised by the Monarch's representative, the Governor General.
		Former left wing Labour MP Tony Benn campaigned for the abolition of the Royal Prerogative in the United Kingdom in the 1990s, arguing that all governmental powers in effect exercised on the advice of the Prime Minister and cabinet should be subject to parliamentary scrutiny and require parliamentary approval.

	DVD Review: Royal Tenenbaums: Criterion Collection
		The film boasts an exceptional cast, who are lead by Gene Hackman, who plays displaced father Royal Tenenbaum, ousted from the family for his inability to say the right thing to his children, who all think that he's something of a jerk.
		Royal, who now finds himself with less and less in the way of funds, has to talk his way back into the household, and what he comes up with results in a hilarious scene outside with Huston's character.
		In terms of "Royal Tenenbaums": "Created on a high-definition C-Reality and enhanced for 16x9 televisions, this new digital transfer was mastered from the 35mm interpositive." The picture quality was generally very good throughout, although a few minor faults did appear.

	the royal tenenbaums
		Royal, the sort of affable bastard right up Hackman's alley, has been estranged from his wife Etheline (Anjelica Huston) and children for years; one day he slinks back into the picture with the news that he's dying.
		The Royal Tenenbaums extends or plays with themes explored in Rushmore: in both, a father looks quizzically at offspring he can't imagine he could have sired, and a protagonist is an immature liar and often dislikable, but somehow, despite himself, lovable.
		Tenenbaums can also be considered a loose sequel to Rushmore, in that the three past-their-prime wunderkinder could be Max Fischer fifteen years on.

	The Royal Tenenbaums
		The Royal Tenenbaums is Anderson's third film (after Bottle Rocket and Rushmore), and all three contain an odd, quirky humor not found elsewhere.
		Tenenbaums is about a family of fallen geniuses, and their father's attempt at reconciliation.
		The Tenenbaum children were hailed as geniuses when they were kids, but each underwent some sort of spectacular failure.

	The Royal Tenenbaums
		Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) is the head of the house, though he's been gone for a lot of years, living in a hotel.
		Royal wants to get involved in their lives again, but he's still the same insensitive person he's always been, saying inappropriate remarks when uncalled for, though he means well.
		Royal's relationship with his grandchildren (Grant Rosenmeyer and Jonah Meyerson) makes way for an amusing sequence in which he takes them for an outing that includes crossing the street and theft, among other things.

	The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)
		Royal left home twenty-two years ago, never properly divorcing his wife, Etheline (Anjelica Huston), but nonetheless leaving their three prodigal children--Chas, Margot, and Richie--for her to raise.
		Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow) was the Tenenbaums' adopted daughter (Royal made sure to note this whenever introducing her to people) who wrote a vast library of plays by the age of 12.
		Chas is completely bitter, seemingly because Royal shot him with a BB gun when he was young and the BB is still lodged between two knuckles in his hand.

	The DVD Journal \| Reviews : The Royal Tenenbaums: The Criterion Collection
		Anderson (Wes) approaches the Tenenbaums like an aficionado of exotic butterflies: gently capturing them, marveling at their unique beauty, patiently examining their odd habits, and finally coming to an understanding of who they are, how they work, and why.
		Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) is an incorrigible sonofabitch.
		Meanwhile, Royal's adopted daughter, Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow), a former celebrated child playwright with a wooden finger and a habit for dead-end relationships, regards his return with the same indifference he afforded her during her youth.

	AboutFilm.com - The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)
		The Royal Tenenbaums is populated with adults who are still precocious children, and it's the film's nature to duplicate that sense of arrested preternatural development.
		When the family patriarch, Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) abandoned his brood twenty years before, the family seemingly remained in stasis, waiting for him to come back and bring them up to date.
		(Precisely illustrated in the cramped quarters of the closet where Royal and Chas argue amongst boxes and boxes of vintage board games.) However imperfect their intact family was, its shadow is strangling the latter-day detritus of its dissolution, and Royal endeavors to restore his family that never was to a happiness it never had.

	The Royal Tenenbaums
		Royal surprises himself by his desire to reunite his family and begins by teaching Chas' kids, Ari and Uzi, how to have fun in ways that would make their dad's hair straighten.
		In "The Royal Tenenbaums" Anderson, with co scripter Owen Wilson, continues with his oddball view into the lives of his characters, the title family, but with maturity that transcends his previous work.
		Royal, who is broke and without a place to live, having been evicted from his longtime residence at the Lindbergh Palace Hotel, tugs enough on the family heartstrings to get invited, by Richie, to come and live with them all.

	The Royal Tenenbaums
		Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) is the estranged patriarch of the Tenenbaums, a family of child prodigies that, beset by a series of "accidents and disasters," has never again attained the heights of its early glories.
		Notice the little stencils that decorate bedclothes, pay attention to the wonder embedded in an observation about a hawk's feathers and the thought with which a derelict's skeleton is exhumed, and note with careful consideration the subjects of every piece of art on every wall.
		You may not recognize Richie and Margot, Royal and Etheline, Pagoda and Chas (or you may, as the height of mannered theatricality), but they inculcate themselves so quickly and easily that Anderson has clearly touched upon archetypes in their genesis.

	THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Gene Hackman is wonderful as Royal Tenenbaum, the patriarch of the dysfunctional family to end all dysfunctional families.
		Hackman is so good as the rascally Royal, that even as the story begins, we immediately understand his desire to divorce his wife and family.
		The first chapter of "The Royal Tenenbaums," sagely narrated by Alec Baldwin, introduces us to Royal's wife, Etheline (Anjelica Huston), and his three young children, Chas, Richie, and their adopted sister Margot, who is never allowed to forget that fact.

	The Royal Taenenbaums. Hollywood Jesus Visual Reviews
		The Royal Tenenbaums is one of those films that's funny, warm, sad and touching.
		To say Royal is detached may be a bit of an understatement; he's downright nasty-he doesn't mean to be it's just his style.
		He despises Royal and doesn't seem to like Richie that much either (Richie was always Royal's favorite-Royal used to take him on outings around the city when he was a child, none of the other children were ever invited).

	The Royal Tenenbaums: Criterion (2001)
		Tenenbaums doesn’t provide much of a plot, as it goes down a character-based path.
		It follows the effects that Royal’s return has on the others, and it shows the way they interact with each other when all return home to the old family manse.
		The Royal Tenenbaums appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.40:1 on this single-sided, dual-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

	DVD Review - The Royal Tenenbaums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Gene Hackman is Royal Tenenbaum, a real bastard of a father who is only too happy when his wife, Etheline (Anjelica Huston), kicks him out of the house.
		When Royal finds himself destitute and kicked out of his hotel suite he feigns a terminal illness in an attempt to reconcile with his family.
		"The Royal Tenenbaums" wasn’t quite the knock-out box office success that was hoped for and I’ll sheepishly admit that I’m more than a little pleased that Wes Anderson will, for the time being at least, remain a filmmaker of middle stature in the eyes of Hollywood.

	OFFOFFOFF film review THE ROYAL TENEBAUMS movie by Wes Anderson with Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Gwyneth Paltrow, ...
		The Tenenbaum family has inhabited a beautiful three-story brownstone in what looks like the Upper West Side since their three "genius children," Chas (Ben Stiller), Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow), and Richie (Luke Wilson) were born approximately 30 years ago.
		Gene Hackman plays Royal Tenenbaum, the patriarch of the family, who has been living in an exile imposed both by his children and his wife Etheline (Angelica Huston) for his numerous, egregiously bad habits over the years.
		To accomplish redemption, the Tenenbaums must each first begin to recognize their faults and their bizarre ways of seeing the world, before they can begin to understand and forgive one another; but understanding any part of the world outside of their own narrow focus is frighteningly difficult for these geniuses raised in "royalty."

	The Royal Tenenbaums review
		Quirky, funny and thought provoking, The Royal Tenenbaums is a fine film that introduces a dysfunctional family with heart and avoids overbearing pity.
		Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) plays an incorrigible ass who'se tried to reenter the lives of the family he abandoned years ago by faking cancer.
		As patriarch, Royal cannot be blamed for everyone's imperfections nor can all of the Tenenbaum family unfulfillment be the result of his actions.

	A Fistful of Reviews - The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)
		Royal has not had anything to do with any of the children (or his estranged wife, Etheline, played by Angelica Huston) for several years.
		The Tenenbaums and their friends and acquaintences are filled to the brim with quirks and habits and intelligence.
		No, "The Royal Tenenbaums" has to settle for being the best comedy of the year and containing one of Gene Hackman's finest roles ever.

		The precocious achievements of the Tenenbaum offspring are amusingly documented: teen tycoon Chas (a perpetually snarly Ben Stiller), tennis star Richie (Luke Wilson, alienation personified in his Björn Borg get-up) and Margot--adopted and never allowed to forget it--a prize-winning playwright by ninth grade (Gwyneth Paltrow lurking under a ton of eyeliner and a sulky pout).
		Royal Tenenbaums is a thought provoking film which deals with deep issues like incest with sensitivity but is still essentially a life-affirming comedy.
		Royal Tenenbaum is about a story of a man trying to reconcile with his family whom he had left behind.

		Royal stirs them all to life, and this great, bumptious performance by an actor gleefully rediscovering his funny bone stirs us to appreciative life too.
		When he does, he'll probably make the movie The Royal Tenenbaums was meant to be, and it'll be a sight to see.
		In the antic, melancholy comedy The Royal Tenenbaums, the singular Wes Anderson (Rushmore”;) abandons his native Texas for a storybook vision of New York.

	Ink 19 :: The Royal Tenenbaums
		The Tenenbaums are a well-to-do family who have three children (one being adopted) who are all considered child geniuses.
		Royal (Gene Hackman), the father of the family, is a crude and brash man who favors son Ritchie (Luke Wilson) over the other children, and eventually is kicked out of the house by his wife Etheline (Anjelica Houston) when the children are still quite young.
		The film is essentially the tale of the redemption of Royal Tenenbaum, a man who acts like a total bastard, but who also has a very big heart and love for his family.
