Though I haven't seen Cecil B. DeMented I did watch the Canned Ham special on Comedy Central this past summer, and I did enjoy it mostly because of the appearance of Melanie Griffith. Typical of John Waters he features the usual crazy, mockery, parody and skits that make fun of the Hollywood industry. If you know anything about John Waters he always goes against the norm and creates a different look opposites fill the air with everything he does. The story to best be summed up is filmed in Baltimore, Maryland and a star actress Honey Whitlock (Melanie Griffith) is kidnapped at one of her movie premieres, by a group of young crazy film students who force Melanie to make movies that don't fit her genre. And Melanie suffers through a distress scene, she is handcuffed to a chair and has mouth taped with a piece of black tape. And I must say Melanie is one of the most beautiful women of all-time, she is the only reason to watch this offbeat parody film intended to mock other Hollywood genres. Your not missing much, but since Melanie Griffith doesn't act as much as she did this is a good and recent chance to watch her and once again admire her beauty no matter how offbeat this appears.
