Return

I also saw Cecil B. DeMented this weekend. It is meant to be a so-called good "bad" movie, but it is more annoying than enjoyable. Save for a couple of inspired bits, the movie is a waste of time. It is didactic and vapid to boot, hammering out the tedious point that mainstream American cinema is mostly gutless nonsense that is rotting the brains of the hoi polloi -- ad infinitum, ad nauseum, add this to this year's growing list of cinema disappointments.
