The Grand Budapest Hotel

Last night I watched this movie. Is the latest Wes Anderson movie, I like his movies, especially "The Moonrise Kingdom". This one is quite different, but much in his style, I really enjoyed it. Did any of you have seen it?
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.

I have been watching a lot of movies lately, old ones and new ones. I watch them at night, with a tall glass of water and a little snack, Marvin  and Lulu sleeping and I turn the lights off and enjoyed the show.

The latest movies I've seen have been "Lucky Them" with Tony Collette and Thomas Haden Church, and a surprise at the end. About a rock journalist is assigned to track down her ex-boyfriend.It was just released May 30.

An other one I liked  is "Friended to Death", which is about Facebook and what extremes some people take  to have many friends in FB. Kind of strange. A dark comedy about a social media junkie who fakes his own death via social media just to see which of his "friends" will show up to the funeral.

The last one I will comment on is "Daddy's Dying..Who's Got the Will? this is a 1990 movie, but I liked it. It stars your new friend Beau Bridges and a very fine Judge Reinhold, among others. Bickering siblings are reunited at their Texas home as their father lies on his deathbed in this black comedy.

The funny thing to me isd that none of those movies are really my type of movies, however I enjoyed them all, for different reasons.

Perhaps you are escaping into a new arena. Quite time and secure in your home life and secure in your surroundings.
