By Melissa Antoinette Garza Full disclosure: I’m a bit high off antibiotics for diverticulitis so if none of this makes sense, blame the drugs. On any other occasion, just blame me. BEYOND THE DOOR (1974) begins with a demon taunting Dimitri (Richard Johnson) who has been working with him. When […]

SPICE WORLD (1997) – Movie Review
