After a nuclear bomb explodes in Texas in 2005, the United States goes down in chaos. The U.S. begins to attack every nation that it thinks is its enemy, which causes WWIII.
Southland Tales is set in 2008 in L.A., where the neo-Marxist are revolting against the government, a Hollywood star stricken with amnesia helps out a porn star in creating a reality TV show, and a police office holds the information to a conspiracy.
When I read the synopsis in Blockbuster’s March edition of their magazine, I thought it would be a fairly good movie, but I was wrong. Southland Tales is like putting a bunch of garbage in a blender and then serving the blended liquid as a movie. It’s a complete flop! There is no real substance to this movie. Southland Tales tries to be a political satire, musical, romance, drama, and sci-fi movie but doesn’t succeed in any of the genres. It tries to deal with homeland security, terrorism, alternative energy, pop culture and pornography but you’re left with no clear answers to any of them.
Southland Tales, which only grossed $273 THOUSAND, is a waste of time as the acting is horrible and the movie is too long, boring, not funny at all and hard to follow. Don’t waste your time and money on this movie as a 2 year-old child can make a better film than this!

Well I’ll listen to you. Movies cost to much these days to waste money on a crappy one.

Dwayne Johnson and J.Timberlake are surprisingly talented actors; but i’m still trying to figure out what Southland Tales was about… maybe it’s really obvious, i.e. life in Los Angeles is blurred, cluttered, flashy and not always meaningful.

I like this, absolutely true. It does have a few redeeming features but not enough to make me pay for it.
