MaestroReviews

Deb and I are artists, painters actually. We go see films as often as once a week. That's right, we go to the theater and sit in a dark room with strangers to see movies. We rarely rent. We like "little" movies, foreign and documentary films. We try to stay away from mainstream and blockbusters whenever possible, but a couple sneak in each year. We seek out the obscure. We try to avoid violent movies, and that really limits our choices, most film makers seem to think violence makes a story interesting.
I try not to give anything away in the reviews, but offer an honest reaction.
We rate them 1~10, 10 being highest.

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Deb 10    Me 6

Like most stories, there's a subplot or a vehicle that moves the story along. I was completely confused by this element here and thus missed the whole thing. Sharp as a marble. But when the story was just moving along it moved with charm and wit. It was fun to watch and very entertaining. Bill Murray has a small role in it and he brings his brand of serenity to the screen in a most appealing way. For the most part this is a fun quirky picture to watch but there was a whole part of it that got by me and sort of wrecked my experience. I'm sure you'll have better luck.
