Destiny Turns On The Radio - 1995 - 2 Stars

Actors:  Dylan McDermott, Nancy Travis
Director:  Jack Baran

I normally don't review movies I watch for goofs.  I wouldn't know about this movie if I hadn't heard David Cross tell a story onstage about working with Jim Belushi.  That anecdote wasn't very interesting, but when I found out that Destiny is the last name of a character called Johnny Destiny and that he is played by Quentin Tarantino this moved into must-see territory - how could this movie be anything but a disaster?

It turns out that this movie is actually not terrible.  It's certainly not good - it's like a bad version of Wild At Heart, with McDermott doing an ill-concealed impression of Nicolas Cage.  So it's easy to see why this movie is totally forgotten - it's a mash-up of better movies and its craziness isn't totally batshit.  If you like to see a naked and electrified Quentin Tarantino emerging from a hotel pool, this movie is for you.
