In ‘Pulp Fiction: Time of Violence’, Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L.

The film ‘Grande Hotel’ will be shown on the 12th, at 7:30 pm. On New Year’s Eve, at the Mon Signor Hotel, a traditional Hollywood inn that is going through a crisis, four curious stories happen that involve Ted (Tim Roth), a messenger on his first day of work. In the first segment a sisterhood of witches gather in the bridal suite to try to undo a spell. In the second story, Ted is going to deliver ice, but he does it in the wrong room and ends up watching Sigfried (David Proval) bind and gag his wife, Angela (Jennifer Beals), suspicious of her fidelity. In the third story, a couple with two children want to go out to have fun and give Ted $500 to look after the little ones. In the last segment the messenger finds himself in the middle of a bet in which the penthouse guest has bet a collector’s car against a little finger.
