Cecil B Demented

Dir: John Waters
Starring: Melanie Griffith, Stephen Dorff

John Waters latest film sees a group of polymorphously perverted art film terrorists called the procket holes lead by Cecil ( Stephen Dorff )
Kidnap, has-been screen idol Honey Whitlock ( Melanie Griffith ) while in Baltimore to attend the premier of her new film. The group of celluloid guerrilla's are on a mission to fight the corruption of the west coast studio system big budget system by producing their own "realcinema" of their antics and actions, using Honey as the lead character and co-incidently the voice of their political manifesto.

Although Waters latest film doesn't have the crudeness of Pink Flamingo's or the surreal
musical qualities of bebop patishe of Hairspray, it is still entertaining. The art movie terrorist joke,
works well for a given time, especially that one of Waters regulars is Patty Hearst famous heiress
kidnapped by a left wing terrorist group in the 70's, although at times it does wear thin.
