By Melissa Antoinette Garza As a lover of 60’s and 70s horror I wasn’t sure if I’d like this homage or not. As of late, parodies seem to be mean-spirited about the work they are poking fun of. Rather than celebrating camp for the outrageousness it was fully aware […]

Venom (2018) – Movie Review **Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Stan Lee**
By Melissa Antoinette Garza The husband picked this film. I really had no interest in seeing it. I didn’t know too much about the Marvel character Venom and I knew less about the film. Michelle Williams is an amazing fem goddess who I always enjoy, but this movie just never […]

By Melissa Antoinette Garza After being thoroughly disappointed with THE NUN (2018), I decided to go in for a sure bet I knew ALUCARDA (1977) was just what I needed to regain my faith in religious horror flicks. It’s a naughty little crazy flick that though didn’t get […]
THE NUN (2018) Horror Movie Review **The Conjuring Universe Continues**
By Melissa Antoinette Garza THE NUN (2018) was one of the few new horror films that I was looking forward to seeing. I loved THE CONJURING (2013) and its sequel (2016). I was satisfied with ANNABELLE (2014), but admittedly hated ANNABELLE CREATION (2017). When I saw the trailer for THE […]
Dumplin’ (2018) – Netflix Movie Review ***Danielle Macdonald, Jennifer Aniston, Dolly Parton***
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Dolly Parton is all sorts of perfection. I’m certain that the only people who dislike Dolly Parton are psychopaths and sociopaths.

THE FIRST WIVES CLUB (1996) MOVIE REVIEW
Who the hell hurt Rizzo? Who was it? I’ll kill them. I’ll kill the bastard. Stockard Channing is my hero. As a child when I would watch GREASE (1978), everyone would say how my sister was like Sandra Dee, but me I was always the bad one. I was Rizzo […]
