Movie Review ~ Pulp Fiction (1994)

I'm probably going to rile up a bunch of people with my opinion of this movie. I absolutely hated it. I tried to make myself watch it again to properly review it and perhaps give a solid reason why I hated it so much but I just couldn't make myself do it.

A while back my dear hubby and I were at a dinner party with a group which consisted mostly of theatre people and the topic of best and worst movies came up. When I mentioned that I thought "Pulp Fiction" was one of the worst movies I had every seen they all stared at me like I was a calf with three heads.

So, the other day I decided to watch Pulp Fiction again. I kept an open mind figuring perhaps I just wasn't understanding the movie. I lasted about 30 minutes before I shut it off and walked away. So I guess I must be the three-headed calf.

From IMDB:

The lives of two mob hit men, a boxer, a gangster's wife, and a pair of diner bandits intertwine in four tales of violence and redemption.
I really don't understand why I don't like it. I love so many of the actors in it . . . sigh . . .
