CONNECTION screens Saturday May 2nd at the Cedar Lee Theatre as part of 12 Hours

Review
by Bob Ignizio
The
one thing that the best “so bad it's good” movies have in common
is a magical blend of sincerity, cluelessness, and just enough
technical filmmaking skill to insure that the finished product bears
some resemblance to an actual movie. These qualities are the
difference between an undying masterpiece like Ed Wood's PLAN
NINE FROM OUTER SPACE, and some
forgettable would-be cult classic using “so bad it's good” as an
excuse to be just plain bad. There are far too many of the latter,
but never enough of the former. That's why it's a cause for
celebration among bad film aficionados that Drafthouse Films has
rescued the "lost" 1987 film MIAMI CONNECTION
from obscurity and unleashed it on theater screens nationwide, with a
home video release to follow on December 11th.
