By Melissa Antoinette Garza GREASE (1978) is a fantastic musical. There were few weekends that this wasn’t playing on my television as a kid. My older and more conventional sister always saw herself as Sandy (Olivia Newton-John), but me – I am and have always been a […]

Aquaman (2018) – Movie Review ** Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Nicole Kidman**
By Melissa Antoinette Garza My sister, mom and myself caught dinner and a movie tonight. They chose the movie. I did not want to see AQUAMAN (2018). The trailers didn’t appeal to me. I’m not a Jason Momoa fan. I don’t think he’s attractive. I get why people do. […]
BlacKkKlansman (2018) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I love Ron Stallworth’s book. His story of infiltrating the Klan is a marvelous one. I was a bit wary when Spike Lee got his hands on it. I was even more skeptical when I heard Alec Baldwin was portraying a racist villain named Dr. […]
Empire Records (1995) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I was 16 when EMPIRE RECORDS (1995) came out. It’s one of the films that defined the decade. It still packs a punch with me. It’s a mainstream film that reached across the aisle to the cult fandom and did so successfully. It’s the 90s […]
How to Talk to Girls at Parties (2017) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza In another life on another timeline in another realm, I rocked it in the Punk atmosphere of 1970s London. Whereas some say they feel a kinship to the times of Cleopatra or the Witch Trials, I’m a bit more modern. Whenever I see an homage or […]
The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein (1972) – Horror Movie Review *Jesús Franco, Anne Libert, Lina Romay, Howard Vernon, Beatriz Savón*
By Melissa Antoinette Garza What do you get when you combine Jesús Franco’s brazen sexuality and gore with Frankenstein? The answer is a fucking masterpiece of over-the-top insanity. THE EROTIC RITES OF FRANKENSTEIN (1972) opens with Doctor Frankenstein (Dennis Price) and his loyal assistant Morpho (Jesús Franco) are […]
Valley Girl (1983) – Movie Review *Nic Cage, Deborah Foreman, Elizabeth Daily, Colleen Camp*
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Unsurprisingly, this movie is my jam. I was born in ‘79 and this was a constant on regular TV in the 80s and 90s. It’s a flick where the fems are fabulous and the celebrated boys are fems. The jock preps are the bad guys […]
Harold and Maude (1971) – Movie Review Bud Cort, Ruth Gordon, Cat Stevens, Yusuf
By Melissa Antoinette Garza There will never be another movie like HAROLD AND MAUDE (1971). It’s a perfect movie from start to finish. I’m in love with this flick. If I’m having a bad day or feeling less optimistic about the world around me, I can listen to […]
HouseSitter (1992) – Comedy Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza HOUSESITTER (1992) is one of my favorite movies from the 90s and one of the best comedies of all time. It’s sexy, it’s silly, it’s laugh-out-loud funny and it’s all heart. The entire production is a shout-out to all the naughty fems with sweet […]
WWE HALL OF FAMER ‘Mean’ Gene Okerlund Dead at 76 – A Dedication
By Melissa Antoinette Garza This is a difficult way to start 2019! WWE announcer, legend, hilarious interviewer, rock star and overall fabulous gent ‘Mean’ Gene Okerlund passed away. For the younger wrestling fans, Okerlund was like no other. He would interview wrestlers and chide them while […]
THE MIDNIGHT HOUR (1985) – MOVIE REVIEW Jonelle Allen, Lee Montgomery, Dedee Pfeiffer, LeVar Burton, Shari Belafonte, Peter DeLuise, Jonna Lee
By Melissa Antoinette Garza THE MIDNIGHT HOUR (1985) was one of my favorite movies growing up. It was a made-for-TV, 1980s, crazy horror musical with vampire witches, pilgrim demons, resurrected werewolves and a zombie little person. You’ve stopped reading this review and just Googled this movie, didn’t you? I […]
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Maybe I just need to let Steve pick the movies from now on. The only real reason I went to this was because I’m a dutiful wife married to a great guy who deserves it. I had no intentions of really enjoying it. I […]
