Review of Matinee (1993) by Hunter D — 12 May 2010
This movie is a terrific 1992 gem directed by Joe Dante that pays tribute to the sci-fi & horror movies of the 1950s. John Goodman steals the movie as Hollywood movie maker and showman Lawrence Woolsey who brings his newest movie, â??MANT!â?? to a small town in Key West Florida during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Half man, half ant, â??Mant!â?? The movie within the movie is also terrific and Woolsey presents it in his own film processes of "Atomo-Vision" and "Rumble-Rama!" A nice extra on the laserdisc that is missed on the DVD is the â??MANT!â?? trailer and footageâ?¦.
