Leave your thoughts about The Salton Sea.
| New York PostLou LumenickA truly baffling late entry in the "Pulp Fiction" sweepstakes that ends up drowning in its own pretensions -- along with, quite possibly, what's left of Val Kilmer's movie career. |
| Supercala.comJohn VenableIf you're wanting something nasty that may make you feel like you need a shower afterwards, then check this out. It's solid. |

| Sacramento BeeJoe BaltakeIt has the ability to offend and put off everyone, but it holds you with its outrageousness. |
