A bore! John Goodman almost saves 'Matinee', he's good, but not quite. I personally didn't care for the characters of Key West and their stories, especially the parts with those portrayed by Kellie Martin, Omri Katz and James Villemaire. The story shoots off into quite a few directions, but I was genuinely not into any of it apart from the scenes with Goodman's Woolsey. The 'film within a film', 'Mant!', is great though - it actually amused me a fair bit, which was a stark contrast to what the real comedy (or lack thereof) achieved. I appreciate what it was going for, but I just didn't dig the vast majority of it unfortunately.

Homage to the fantasy B-movies of the 1960s.

Fun 50s/60s homage, with an interesting horror take. Good for a watch but easy to see why this doesn't normally make too many 'favorite' lists.

Fun movie set to B horror films and the Cuban missile crisis.  A feel good movie that’s easy to watch but won’t likely stay in the memory bank for the long run.

"Mant". That was the name of the movie that Lawrence Woolsey unleashed on a small town theater in Key West, Florida. Woolsey's timing couldn't be better according to his own logic. The premier of "Mant" occurs during the Cuban Missile Crisis. On top of that, Woolsey is prepping the theater with More
