Win a copy of “The Grand Budapest Hotel” on Blu-ray!

by Callum Lloyd Thomas · June 19, 2014

Did you miss out on seeing Wes Anderson’s latest movie, The Grand Budapest Hotel, when it hit theaters earlier this year? Well, fear not, because it will be released on DVD and Blu-ray this week, and the folks over at Charlotte Observer are running this great competition, where you could win a copy of the movie on Blu-ray!

The film, which starred Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort), was met with critical acclaim when it was first released earlier this year and has become Anderson’s highest grossing feature film. The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts the adventures of legendary concierge Gustave H.  (Fiennes) and the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend.

For those unfamiliar with the story, it involves the theft of a priceless painting; a raging battle for an enormous family fortune; and a desperate chase on motorcycles, trains, sleds, and skis – all against the backdrop of a suddenly and dramatically changing continent.

You can enter the contest here, and be sure to check out this awesome time-lapse video of a very talented team of artists building a LEGO model of the titular hotel.

Did you see The Grand Budapest Hotel in theaters, or do you plan on watching it now that it’s available on home media? Let us know your thoughts!

2004

It’s high time I paid homage to the mighty MuggleNet. Where to start? I love the design, (I currently favour the ‘Dementor’ layout), the polls (I actually voted in the ‘Who’s the Half-Blood Prince?’ one), the pretty-much-exhaustive information on all books and films, the wonderful editorials (more insight there than in several companion volumes I shall not name), 101 Ways to Annoy Lord Voldemort (made me laugh aloud), the Wall of Shame (nearly as funny as some of the stuff I get)… pretty much everything. Webmaster Emerson, Eric, Jamie, Damon, Ben, Matthew, Rachel, Jaymz and Sharon, I salute you.
