Title: Abra-Cadavra!
Review: Delightful tribute to the blithely naive acting styles and earnest wacky-sincere science of the crazily entertaining '50s B-movies. Blamire and his troupe of legitimate and canny acting professionals (no, you can't just wing this stuff; you have to know HOW it was originally done and WHY it descends to us as quaint and quirky) keenly understand the faux-conviction that informs those old films and renders them so naively charming today. These talented people take the cheesy tropes over the edge, make you blink in disbelief, and then establish a new edge. Cheaply.Those kitsch-meisters of the '50s might have gazed forward with their atom-powered crystal balls, watched Blamire's movies, and actually learned something from them. I'm not sure what. But surely it must be up there on the screen... somewhere?All hail, to pseudo-scientists everywhere! This film is like your high-school physics lab, on nitrous oxide. Freaky-wise entertainment!
