Pro-Life (2006) – Masters of Horror Episode Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I love Masters of Horror. It’s a modern and superior version of Tales From the Crypt and I really wish I had found it sooner. I wished it was still on as it took Hollywood’s greatest names of horror and brought us interesting and fun […]
Scarecrows (1988) – Horror Action Hybrid Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Scarecrows is a great, little known, cult-classic that provides suspense, horror and even a little bit of existentialism. The film follows five robbers who hijack a plane forcing a pilot and his daughter to fly off. One of the robbers jumps out with the money causing […]
Sounds Like (2006) – Masters of Horror review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Sometimes in horror there are no villains. Even when there’s a murderer present, it doesn’t necessarily make that individual a bad person. For example, I don’t believe Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) was a bad guy in PSYCHO (1960). He was just thoroughly confused and mentally […]
Iced (1988) – Whodunit Horror Slasher
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Whodunit movies are among my favorite overall genre. Whether highbrow classics like Psycho or little known cult films like Cheerleader Camp, I typically find them a great treat. Every time, I think I’ve seen all that came before the self-awareness days of Scream, I’m vamped to […]
Pledge Night (AKA DEATH NIGHT -1990) – Demonic Slasher Film
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Some movies are so self-aware that the winks at the camera and jokes for the viewers ruin the film. Nowadays, atrocities like the Scary Movie series and Vampires Suck are perfect examples. The jokes aren’t funny and the entire production is filled with awful punch […]

Arthur (2011) – Russell Brand Comedy Film Remake
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I love Dudley Moore. I have loved him since I was a child and when he died 12 years ago, I was really very sad. I grew up watching him in Arthur (1981) and Arthur 2 On the Rocks (1988). I was one of the […]
Brand X with Russell Brand FX TV SHOW (2012-2013)
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Admittedly, I was a Johnny-Come-Lately when it came to liking Russell Brand. I first heard about him during a controversial practical joke that he had done with famous comedian and talk show Jonathan Ross was played on an actor Andrew Sachs. Though it was a big […]
Joe Dante’s Homecoming (2005) Masters of Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Recently, I have been watching the Showtime series Masters of Horror. When they first aired, I didn’t have Showtime and only saw a few episodes. I made the effort to seek out the Robert Englund episode as I watch everything with him in it. I […]
