Movie Review: C Ron Chester
Summary: 5 Stars
Exciting and Hilarious! An instant hit for anyone who loves John Waters and the City of Baltimore.Movie Review: Watch Out for Those "Genre Specific" Audiences
Summary: 4 Stars
Any film with Alicia Witt and Maggie Gyllenhaal has very good things going for it visually. And although a little weird for mainstream audiences, "Cecil B. DeMented is a very entertaining film. Imagine a spoof about the American film industry and American movie audiences, packaged as a cross between "Dr. Strangelove" and "State and Main".
It is after all a John Waters film, and a film set in his hometown of Baltimore. Which means the jokes will be hit-and-miss, with many best appreciated by film industry insiders and Maryland area residents. But the obvious fun the cast has playing their out-there characters is infectious. Melanie Griffith (Tippi Hedren's daughter) has a ball tweaking her diva image as she plays an aging star gradually won over to the cause of her kidnappers (insert Patti Hearst here who actually has a small part in the picture). Alicia Witt gives her best ever performance as the delectable porn star turned revolutionary. The best scene is when she and her fellow film revolutionaries hide out at a porn theater showing "Rear Entry", an anal epic co-starring Witt and a randy gerbil.
Stephen Dorff, before he went insane and got involved with Pamela (slug) Anderson, does a good job as the title character. But watch closely for an absolutely glowing performance by Gyllenhaal. She is something special with lines like: "I haven't had this much fun since my last livestock mutilation!"
Worth watching if you have a sense of humor, even better if you are demented.
Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.
Movie Review: Stephen & John Waters Rock!
Summary: 4 Stars
Stephen rocks in this movie and that's good to see compared to his latest unsuccessful releases. He's demented and devilishly sexy just the way he needs to be. His portrayal of Cecil will not only have you laughing your head off but you'll find yourself impatient to see what happens next. He leaves the entire cast in the dust except for Alicia Witt who put in an equally interesting and terrific performance as Cecil's pornstar girlfriend Cherish. Stephen brings charm to this role and it will remind his true fans of his role as Deacon Frost in terms of sexuality and creativity. Stephen is a gifted actor and though Cecil B. Demented isn't the best movie at times, it's Cecil himself that carries it along. Definitely the best John Waters flick too and I definitely think Stephen and John should reunite in the future. Suffer for Celluloid!
