		The soundtrack to a Wim Wenders joint is often as creative and satisfying as the movie itself (see Until the End of the World and Wings of Desire), serving not only as a companion to the film but as a standalone work of art.
		The Million Dollar Hotel band, defined mostly by synths and solo trumpet, provide a unbeatable accompaniment to the films meditation on the concentration of a number of distinct characters.
		U2 were rebuilding themselves at the time that 'TMDH' was released and this work-in-process is present in the song 'Stateless' a disctinctly relaxed U2 song which fits perfectly into the narrative of the film.

	Review: : the million dollar hotel
		"The Million Dollar Hotel" (IMDb listing) is a decrepit building in seedy downtown Los Angeles that the confused and the uninsured call home.
		Co-written by Bono of the band U2, and directed by film legend Wim Wenders, "Million Dollar Hotel" is not the type of film that you would expect from such established talent.
		Davies hits an all time low in "Million Dollar" with a performance that equals Alicia Witt's bottomlessly awful turn in "Urban Legend." Davies's jumbled, pretentious role as a mentally retarded young guest of the hotel is nothing but a series of the actor's cache of tics and whistles.

		“Hotel Rwanda,” which was written by Keir Pearson and Terry George, who also directed, is the true story of a brave and wily man who never made a speech or indulged an instant of stiff-backed righteousness.
		He convincingly stages the horrors outside the hotel—the paralyzing fear in the night, the vilely inciting radio broadcasts, the anguished ineffectiveness of the United Nations, the chaos and arbitrary madness of slaughter.

	Reviews - Million Dollar Hotel
		Set some 30 years from now in a seedy area of Hollywood, one of the residents of a shoddy, dilapidated hotel plummets to his death from the roof and FBI Agent Skinner (Mel Gibson) is called in to question the other residents.
		Unfortunately for him, it looks as if most of the permanent inhabitants of this domicile have been off-loaded by every mental asylum and halfway house in L.A which doesn't make for an easy investigation, as most of them are either deranged or incoherent.
		Skateboarder and fulltime simpleton Tom Tom (Jeremy Davies) and shy book-worm Eloise (Milla Jovovich) seem to share a common inside knowledge of what has been going on in the hotel but Skinner seems to be fraught at every turn in his attempts at unravelling the mystery.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "The Million Dollar Hotel"
		A billionaire media mogul's son is purported to have killed himself by jumping off the roof of the Million Dollar Hotel, a downtrodden shelter which houses insane people abandoned by the health care system.
		The film was originally titled THE BILLION DOLLAR HOTEL and based on a real-life L.A. hotel called "The Rosalyn Million Dollar Hotel" which was one of the great hotels during the Golden Age of Hollywood in the 30s, but which now stands as a halfway house where a lot of outpatients from mental hospitals live.
		One of the most beautiful moments in the film is in the opening scene, when the protagonist is committing suicide by jumping off a building, but along the way is in a trance of wonder, noticing the lives of hotel tenants as he dives into the end of his life.
