The Million Dollar Hotel Reviews:
remarkable movie of societies outcasts 
2009-04-30 - I wasn't expecting much from this movie and was surprised to see an honest portrayal of segments of our society who have no hope and how they are taken advantage of by wealthy moguls and bullies.
Pretentious Twaddle. 
2008-10-05 - I thought Wim Wenders was incapable of making a bad film until I saw this. Apparently the idea was conceived by Bono of U2 (who should clearly stick to churning out pop songs). It started out well, with lots of the clever signature devices that come with a Wenders film, and had a promising cast, flagshipped by big names such as Mel Gibson and Tim Roth. However, it quickly went downhill, and before long it became apparent that whatever story lay behind the film had run its course in the first ten minutes. The remainder of the film revolved around the relationship between Tom Tom and Eloise, both of whom were clearly a couple of Lancasters short of a full squadron, and whose efforts to communicate lay in a series of grunts, twitches and slaps. No doubt this was meant to be endearing and heart-warming. In fact it was tedious and boring to the point where I wanted to bludgeon the pair of them to death with a lead pipe. I couldn't tell you how it ended, because I fell asleep long before that blessed moment came to pass. Wenders is a brilliant film-maker, but this is clearly the exception proving the rule

2008-06-09 - Me encantan las películas de Win Wenders y esta la verdad es que aunque ya tiene algo de tiempo no la conocía, mi descubrimiento de la misma fue por el video de U2 de una muy buen canción "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" que forma parte del soundtrack de esta película, en dicho video aparecen escenas de la película como es obvio y sale en un cameo al escritor Salman Rushdie, el mismo que el Ayatola Jomeini le pusiera precio a su cabeza por su libro "los versos satanicos" y que actualmente vive refugiado en USA, se que sera un placer por fin poder ver esta película.
The Emperor Has No Clothes
2007-12-09 - Too bad there is not a rating of MINUS-stars. This film is garbage; boring, pretentious, and meaningless. Perhaps other reviews can attach their own fantasies and for them this DOA film may say something. But I found it an irritating waste of time. When a script and the characters within it have no definition, no relevance, and no entertainment value - watching it becomes either self-torture or an exercise in pretending that it serves some arty vision. This is the only time that Mel Gibson let me down. I understand he donated his services to this production and, in that case, he was very much overpaid.
Wenders again 
2007-08-13 - Beautiful story, like only Wenders do. I miss a good inlet page in the box.
