Four Thumbs Down

“Billy Madison”: Heavily marketed to children via the Nickelodeon network, is actually a smutty, tasteless “teen comedy” (there is nothing remotely funny about it).

“Pulp Fiction”: The continuous deluge of vulgarity from the opening scene to the last scene sickened me and by the end of the movie I was nauseous. For Hollywood to nominate this movie for an Academy Award tells us the state Hollywood is in.

“The Quick and the Dead”: Demeaning, stupid and very violent. It glorifies killing, rape and beatings. In other words, absolutely no redeeming quality at all.

“The Lion King”: So very violent, lacking in originality or story line. Only the media could create such erroneous hype on behalf of Disney.
