Feat. Mel Gibson, Jeremy Davies, Milla Jovovich, Jimmy Smits, Peter Stormare, Bud Cort, Amanda Plummer, Bono

Aroview: Dir. Wim Wenders (WINGS OF DESIRE) works-up his latest narrative of modern alienation in the scuzzy, titular hotel (which actually exists in L.A.), home for various fringe-types and recluses.

The script, written by rock-group U2's Bono, has paranoid FBI-man Mel Gibson roaming the corridors investigating a fatal fall from the rooftop, while the mini-dramas of skateboarder Jeremy Davies, layabout Milla Jovovich, paranoid Jimmy Smits and Beatles nut Peter Stomare fizzle away in the background.

4 stars (Very Good) Child-like Tom Tom is one of a bunch of misfits who inhabit a run-down LA hotel. When a junkie falls to from the roof to his death the FBI investigate. This is the backdrop in which Tom Tom falls for the angelic street waif, Eloise. 5 Star soundtrack. ~GenXGirl
