August is Movie Madness Month, and we're sponsoring lots of great events at your local theaters, as well as in our stores. Starting Thursday, and running through Saturday, Bookmans Underground Cinema presents an exclusive engagement double feature at Madcap Theaters: Best Worst Movie and Troll 2!

 

 

Best Worst Movie (2009) is the acclaimed feature-length documentary that takes us on an off-beat journey into the undisputed worst movie in cinematic history: Troll 2. In 1989, when an Italian filmmaker and unwitting Utah actors shot the ultra-low budget horror film, Troll 2, they had no idea that twenty years later they would be celebrated worldwide for their legendary ineptitude.

Two decades later, the film’s now-grown-up child star (Michael Paul Stephenson) unravels the improbable, heartfelt story of the Alabama dentist-turned-cult movie icon and the Italian filmmaker who come to terms with this genuine, internationally revered cinematic failure. Troll 2 (1990) Joshua's family takes a trip to NILBOG, which, unbeknownst to them, is the kingdom of the goblins, as told to young Joshua by his grandfather Seth, who just happens to be dead. Now it's up to Josh, magical time-stopping Grandpa Seth, and a bologna sandwich to save the family from the evil Goblin Queen, who uses everything from magical rocks to an ear of corn, to destroy Josh's family.

You can catch this 35mm double feature for $10 at Madcap Theaters, 730 S. Mill Ave., Tempe, AZ. 85281.
