Three sentence movie reviews: The Grand Budapest Hotel

This had everything I like in a Wes Anderson movie, but I can’t say I liked it.  Maybe I was tired, but the plot didn’t grab me and I kept closing my eyes for brief periods.   The acting was good, the sets were good, the costumes were there, the sense of whimsy was present, but it just didn’t work for me.

Cost:  Free thanks to Oscar Party winning prize.
Where watched:  Regal Lloyd Center 10, with S. North.

Parking lot disorientation.

The movie theater is on the right side of this picture, in line with that tall building in the middle.  The last time I was here, there was just a huge parking lot and the orientation was different. Now?  We have a diagonal path for the pedestrians (yay!) and lots of bioswales for the rain to escape too.  It was disorienting, but fun!
