After jazz trumpeter Danny Parker's (Val Kilmer) wife is killed in a robbery, he slips into the drug scene. To finance his addiction, he works as an informant for two corrupt cops. Danny wants to cash in on a deal with the crazy drug lord “Winnie the Pooh” (Vincent D'Onofrio)...
All of this sounds like a typical loser drama, but “The Salton Sea” is one of those films where you should know as little as possible about the content and story beforehand and instead enjoy the numerous tricky plot surprises. The fact that you don't necessarily have to quote classics in films is shown by up-and-coming director DJ Caruso, who in his debut seems to be primarily based on recent productions. Works like Memento, The Usual Suspects or Trainspotting inevitably come to mind when watching this film. Not exactly bad for a title that, for some inexplicable reason, hasn't even made it into local cinemas and yet "The Salton Sea" isn't in the same league...
Several cult scenes can be found in this thriller, but I don't want to reveal too much and so only name two: First, the remarks by a drug buddy of Kilmer about the planned robbery of Bob Hope's excretions (to be auctioned off on Ebay), which are hardly absurd is to be surpassed and the assassination attempt on JFK by Winnie the Pooh with pigeons in a toy car. By the way, you can recognize a real friend by the fact that he doesn't laugh when you ask him who JFK was ... 
A real insider tip! If you want to see a well-cast, intelligently constructed thriller, “The Salton Sea” is for you.

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
