Lula (Laura Dern) is completely in love with her boyfriend
Sailor (Nicolas Cage). Lula’s mother Marietta (Diane Ladd) wants Sailor dead
after he turned down her advances. The first hit she put out on him failed as
Sailor killed the would-be hitman, landing him in jail for two years. After
Sailor served his sentence, Lula and Sailor decide to run away from Lula’s
controlling mother to California. Distressed and fearing that Sailor knows too
much about her past, Marietta asks her boyfriend Johnnie (Harry Dean Stanton)
to track the pair down and her past lover Marcellus Santos (J.E. Freeman) to
arrange Sailor’s death. During their getaway, Lula and Sailor encounter many
strange figures during their drive down the dusty, yellow highway.

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014): ****
The Grand
Budapest Hotel recalls the glory days in the 1930s of the titular faded
hotel in the fictional country of Zubrowka. Whilst the likely prospect of war
looms over the country, the Grand Budapest occupants are more concerned with
living in opulent luxury; all their pleasures cared for by top concierge Monsieur
Gustave (Ralph Fiennes). Under his tutorage is young Zero (Tony Revolori), the newly
appointed lobby-boy having escaped from his war-torn homeland. When one of
Gustave’s patrons dies unexpectedly and leaves him a priceless painting,
Gustave is accused of murder and theft, and requires the help of his trusted
lobby-boy.
