Looking for a little outrageous entertainment this weekend? Tired of mainstream film and movie conglomerates? Then pick up a copy of Cecil B. Demented, and you’ll be shouting “Demented Forever!” in no time.
Cecil B. Demented is the story of a group of renegade teenage filmmakers, led by director Cecil B. Demented (Stephen Dorff), who are tired of mainstream Hollywood filmmakers and their megaplex theaters. They take matters into their own hands when they kidnap a Hollywood starlet, Honey Whitlock (Melanie Griffith) and force her to star in their new movie — the story of a disgruntled indie theater manager who goes on a rampage against Hollywood monopolies.
With the camera rolling, the group terrorizes the city Baltimore — the theaters, the Hollywood luncheons, and even the set of the Forrest Gump sequel. They’re chased by filmmakers, Teamsters, and the law, and they only escape with the help of kung fu fans and porn enthusiasts.
Cecil B. Demented is edgy and hard-core (and demented, for that matter) — but it’s a fabulously creative story, full of laughs. Watch it, and be prepared for some truly alternative entertainment.

After a short career in advertising, Kristin got sick of always saying nice things about stuff that didn’t deserve it—so now she spends her days criticizing things, and she’s much happier for it.
Since creating NightsAndWeekends.com in February of 2002, Kristin has spent her life surrounded by piles and piles of books and movies—so many that her office has become a kind of entertainment obstacle course.
As if her writing and editing responsibilities for N&W.com weren’t enough to keep her out of trouble, Kristin also hosts a number of weekly radio shows: Reel Discovery, Shelf Discovery, and On the Marquee. She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
