Class of 1999 (1990) – SCI FI MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza CLASS OF 1999 (1990) is a sci-fi movie that I always end up throwing on at parties. If you have a group of people that have different interests, tastes and thresholds for the bizarre, CLASS OF 1999 is a solid choice. It’s a fun, popcorn movie […]
The Vampire Lovers (1970) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Though devoted fans of the genre still enjoy THE VAMPIRE LOVES (1970) enough to give it a cult following and critically it often fares better than the similarly themed LUST FOR A VAMPIRE (1971), it doesn’t quite get the respect it deserves. The movie opens […]
The Mumbo Jumbo (2000) – UK Musical Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza It came! THE MUMBO JUMBO (2000) unreleased to US audiences came in the mail today and plays marvelously in my PS4! Nothing is better than receiving something in the mail with Richard O’Brien’s face on the cover. YUMMY! The movie opens with Thomas Doubting (Jamie Walters) […]
Fire with Fire (1986) – Drama Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I first saw FIRE WITH FIRE (1986) when I was around ten years old. To this day, I still love it. It’s nothing spectacular or mind-blowing, but it’s a fun tale of forbidden love. For nostalgia alone, it belongs on my list of obsessions. […]
Vampyres (1974) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza On a scale from 1-10, this movie is rated yummy! VAMPYRES (1974) opens with two gorgeous naked women, Fran (Marianne Morris) and Miriam (Anulka Dziubinska), sharing some wonderful experiences in bed together.

TRIANGLE (2009) – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza TRIANGLE begins with Jess (Melissa George) clutching her special needs child closely telling him that he just had a bad dream. Her emotion conveys that something else is going on entirely, and just like that TRIANGLE begins the ride. Jess is a single mother who takes […]
The Craft (1996) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza When THE CRAFT came out in 1996, I saw it in the theater with three other people, who loved it. I liked it. It’s silly. It’s fun. I think it was far more influential on THE RAGE: CARRIE 2 (1999) than the original CARRIE (1976) ever […]
Beyond the Darkness (1979) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Third Grade Me in Class Giving A Report of Something I Enjoy: “BEYOND THE DARKNESS is something I enjoy. It’s about a taxidermist who loves his fiance so much that he brings her dead body back home….” That was all I was able to […]
Dr. Caligari (1989) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I love crazy, dark,weird and sexy. Dr. Caligari is an strange piece of indie cinema sexploitation that though has a following, doesn’t quite get the respect it deserves. I feel like this is a movie that was only rented from video stores by 13-year-old […]
Absolute Beginners (1986) – Musical Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza With a lot of negative energy floating around because of the mid-terms, I needed a feelgood movie that is somewhat relevant yet filled with optimism and fun. A musical about the dangers of selling one’s soul seems like a perfect fit. ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS (1986) […]
The Twilight Zone: Number 12 Looks Just like You (1964) TV SHOW REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza This is one of my favorite and one of the most underrated episodes in THE TWILIGHT ZONE series. I like to think of this as a precursor to THE STEPFORD WIVES (1975) as it deals with many of the same themes, but in very different […]
