The wildly anticipated new Wes Anderson film, The Darjeeling Limited, has arrived. This time around, Anderson, who directed The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, brings his unique vision to the cultural landscape of India. Darjeeling tells the story of three estranged brothers (Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Jason Schwartzman) who embark on a spiritual quest to rediscover themselves -- and each other. TUNES: Pick up Annie Lennox's her new release, Songs of Mass Destruction, when it hits stores October 2.

Destruction seems destined to become the most exciting record this fall.
