By Melissa Antoinette Garza I saw this film in the theater on my twelfth birthday with my mother and grandmother. I owned the novelization and loved the Bryan Adams song. Shut the fuck up. I was 12! TWELVE, Goddammit! Summer of ‘69 is good. Isn’t it? Come on, tell me […]

ROBIN HOOD (2018) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I should have seen THE GRINCH! Where to begin with this mess? I love the story of Robin Hood. The Kevin Costner version and Disney adaptation are my favorites, but I like the older ones too. I never was inclined to see the Russell Crowe version, […]
Creed II (2018) – Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren ROCKY Sequel – Movie Review
By Geno McGahee When I was a child, my favorite film was ROCKY III. Every Thanksgiving, I watch all of the ROCKY films in order and still enjoy them all very much, even ROCKY V, which gets a bad rap. In 2006, the ROCKY series would come to an end […]
Original Gangstas (1996) – Jim Brown, Fred Williamson, Pam Grier, Wings Hauser ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee You had me at Wings Hauser. I could end the review right there, although I was mildly disappointed that Wings wasn’t kicking ass alongside the good guys, but he was still the man in this. This film is packed with action stars, including Jim Brown, Fred Williamson, […]
Full Moon of the Virgins (1973) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza FULL MOON OF THE VIRGINS (1973) or THE DEVIL’S WEDDING NIGHT as it is also known is a great piece of Italian horror sexploitation directed by Luigi Batzella and the late great (but uncredited) Joe D’Amato. The film shows a flash of a woman in […]
Die Hard (1988) – 30th Anniversary Edition: Bruce Willis ACTION CHRISTMAS MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I went to see one of my favorite films of all time, DIE HARD, on the big screen today. 30 years ago, the action world was introduced to a new kind of hero. We had the devastating one man armies like Sly Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger that […]
Tuff Turf (1985) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza When I was 16, I bought TUFF TURF (1985) and TAPEHEADS (1988) the same day for $1.99 each at the first video rental shop I worked at. That four bucks brought me so much joy! I still love the films and though I know I have […]
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 […]
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. […]
Dark City (1998) – Sci-Fi Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I’ve been holding off on reviewing DARK CITY (1998) because I know eventually I’ll run out of Richard O’Brien projects to review. That thought makes me sad as he’s legitimately my favorite topic to discuss.. Nonetheless, I’m definitely in the mood to see Jennifer Connelly […]
Robocop (1987) – CYBORG ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee “Your move creep.” – Robocop (Peter Weller) I was 13 years old when I first saw the trailer to the movie “ROBOCOP.” Why don’t they make movies like this anymore? I just bought the triple pack DVD set with all three entries in this series for only […]
Flash Gordon (1980) – Science Fiction Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza My older brother and sister watched this film constantly when I was a kid. Back then my main attraction to the movie was the killer QUEEN soundtrack which is still an enticing motivator. Though, it isn’t the most enticing part of the movie. That […]
