THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL recounts the adventures of GUSTAVE H., a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars; and ZERO MOUSTAFA, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting; a raging battle for an enormous family fortune; a desperate chase on motorcycles, trains, sleds, and skis - all against the backdrop of a suddenly and dramatically changing continent.

If you're a Wes Anderson fan, you'll love this movie. Even if you aren't, it is still supremely entertaining. Fiennes is absolutely fantastic in it. Shame that comedic roles rarely get noticed for big awards because he deserves the recognition.

Wasn't sure to expect from this movie. The Marvel movies have been good, but this might be the most entertaining one besides The Avengers. Great characters. Great story. Special features are a little scant, but the movie is extremely rewatchable.

Monsters Inc is becoming a go to in our house. We have all the Pixar movies, but it seems like our kids gravitate to only a few of them. This is one of the ones they can't get enough of. There are a few sections that get them hiding under their blankets, but overall it's a very family friendly movie that adults can also appreciate. My biggest complaint with Disney in general is the lack of digital copies unless you pay top dollar for the most premium edition. Would be nice to have a copy for on the go.

What's great about it: Wonderful story
What's not so great: Can be scary, No digital copy

The one thing that works against this film is that it isn't the book it was inspired by. But there isn't a film that could stack up to that graphic novel. Snyder still did a bang up job with the visuals as if we were placed into the storyboards of the book. The opening credits alone show great flare and catch us up on the back story. Jeffrey Dean Morgan & Jackie Earl Haley are both fantastic and fit their roles perfectly. Some aspects are a little over the top and on the nose (like the music), but the movie works as a whole.

I love coming back to this movie over and over. Great acting and chemistry between the cast. And immensely rewatchable. Not to mention the Blu Ray is so inexpensive (cheaper than DVD version currently). I was a little disappointed at the scant features, but still worth the under $10 I paid.

I love this movie. Daniel Day Lewis is a powerhouse and deserved all the awards for this performance. Paul Dano was nothing to sneeze at either and held his own against the best actor in the business. The opening sequence is amazing and the direction throughout and superb. Glad I got the Blu Ray for a new appreciation of the picture and cinematography.

I really enjoyed this movie. How could you not enjoy a RDJ as Iron Man. This one has a very good plot. The writing is fantastic (as you'd expect from Shane Black). I haven't had a chance to dive into the special features yet, but Marvel always does an above average job on those. Glad I got it on Blu Ray. The picture is great.
