While on a road trip from a long weekend at the Terlingua cookoff, four lifelong friends decide to veer off road and venture into a small West Texas town known as Marfa. What attracted them to do so? Could it be the strange unexplained ghost lights that Marfa is known for? While on a fuel stop they meet two very strange employees of a secluded gas station. One of them offers them a chance to look into their future by pulling a ticket from his counter top 25 cent token fortune telling machine. What does it say? Can they trust it? When they enter Marfa, Texas they realize almost immediately that something’s off. Why is this town so odd? Why are very peculiar things happening? Eden Percell, because of her desire to look into everything, begins convincing Erik that the town is full of practicing witchcraft and she even makes the statement “And I think they have gotten dang good at it.” Can she convince Erik, and if so, should they risk telling the other 2 drama queens their thoughts. What is Marfa? Why are the townspeople so secretive? Will Matt, Erik, Allie, and Eden discover the truth behind the mystery of the Marfa lights?
“As far as a vintage detective thriller, u0026quot;Lady in Cementu0026quot; has enough wit and charm to make it memorable. It takes itself just seriously enough to get the job done. Sinatrau0026#39;s second turn as Rome doesnu0026#39;t quite have the bite of the first film but itu0026#39;s clear heu0026#39;s enjoying himself. The weary cynicism of Rome suits him well. The late Dan Blockeru0026#39;s delightful as Gronsky. The recent DVD reissue looks sharp and has plenty of trailers but is a bit light on extras.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDirector Gordon Douglas (u0026quot;In Like Flintu0026quot;) keeps the action moving and Raquel Welch looks terrific. Her first appearance is emerging from a swimming pool. I was a bit surprised to see nudity in a mainstream Hollywood feature in 1968 but, well, this was the late 60u0026#39;s after all.”
