Review of Four Rooms (1995) by Julia L — 30 Apr 2012

The second and third rooms are great, and even the first, starring Madonna, is pretty decent (think about it, could anything involving Madonna really be all that great?). I especially enjoy the short, non-room scene, with none other than the usually ultra-boring Marisa Tomei; maybe she was actually stoned and that's how she manages to be interesting.

The film crash lands on Quentin Tarantino's lack of ability to rip off Hitchcock, and not one of his films, one of his TV show episodes. Who knows if Hitchcock himself even wrote or directed that particular episode? I don't know, but then again as far as this film goes, it really doesn't matter.

Skip the last .25 and you'll be happy, or don't, I really don't care. 14%, my ass, you pack of self-indulgent, self-aggrandizing, self-serving pricks. I salute you, but that doesn't make you right.
