I normally like Quentin Tarantino stuff but this is getting beyond. Ponderous, slow and uninteresting; these are usually not adjectives that you associate with Tarantino. The list of actors is impressive, Yet somehow they do not gel into one block buster of a film. The individual storys merge into one melting pot of a snapshot of hollywood life. Now you'd think that would make for a good film,. And it would - if only it were about a third shorter. By 2 hours in I was "shoot me and let this end"!
