Bonebreaking Fun Up Close Personal September 15, 2009
ScottPaul ScottPaul (Surrey, UK)
Edward Furlong plays a sweet Baltimore based teen in one of John Water's best films. He goes around with his thriftshop camera getting whatever weird shots he can get (his family members, neighbours smirking, yawning, sticking fingers, suggestive shaped fruits in the supermarket and so on) when a New York art dealer played by Lili Taylor passes through the burger-bar where he is showing his developed pics and promptly wants to buy the lot! br / br /The film follows he hialrious misadventures of the fallout from the townsfolk and his family as he gets richer and sells more pics. Though he stays the same sweet little boy, soon people start turning against him, feeling that their lifestyle is being humiliated, and his bad-tempered girlfriend (hilariously played by Christina Ricci) REALLY starts losing it. Wose, his art dealer seems to fancy him. How can he keep going as his world gets crazier. br / br /'Pecker' is Waters's next most accessible film after the mild 'Shampoo', though there's plenty of his trademark vulgarity, crassness and fruity language on tap, and it's all hugely funny. Much of it's quotable and it even has a nice happy ending. br / br /John Waters will never make another film like this, or his great masterpiece 'Serial Mom', and though his 1st film of the New Millennium 'Cecil B Demented' was almost as good, his 2nd best moment, and dare I say innocently charming moment, is this film.

Tea bag 'em Larry! August 3, 2008

Above you will see in the title one of my favourite quotes taken from a movie. It's to this movie; Pecker. br /If you don't know wat 'tea bagging' is then watch this movie. It also teaches you what a "dutch oven" is too. br / br /It'a silly film, starring Edward Furlong (probably better known for his role of John Conner in Terminator 2) and Christina Ricci who needs no introducton at all. br / br /Pecker becomes a famous photographer virtually over night when an art dealer from new york comes to view his exhibition in the cafe in which he works. His friends and family, and other local people become quickly annoyed by the unwanted attention they get from having been in his snaps as suddenly, everyone knows who they are. br / br /While this film is a comedy, it's not hugely funny, but it is fun to watch. From the director that brought us:- "Hair spray" (the original with Riki Lake) "Polyester" and many more. br / br /Waters is a bit like Hitchcock in the sense he likes to appear somewhere in his films and in this one he is the voice behind the obscene call Christina receives at her laundrette.
