Step back into a time of outrageous movie-theater gimmicks and larger-than-life-B-screen stars in this charming homage to the great sci-fi and horror fIicks of the 1950s and 2960s.
John Goodman is at his uproarious best as the William CastIe-inspired movie promoter Lawrence Woolsey, who brings his unique brand of flashy showmanship to the unsuspecting residents of Key West, Florida.
It's 1962, and fifteen-year-oId fan Gene Loomis (Simone Fenton) can't wait for the arrivaI of Woolsey, who is in town to promote his Iatest offering of atomic power gone berserk, Mant! But the absurd vision of WooIsey's tale takes on a sudden urgency as the Cuban MissiIe Crises places the reaI threat of atomic horror just 90 miIes off the coast. With the help of Gene and Woolsey's leading Iady, Ruth (Cathy Moriarty), the master showman gives Key West a premiere they'll never forget. Anything can happen in the movies, and everything does in this hiIarious tribute to a more innocent (and outrageous) time in American cinema. |
