By Melissa Antoinette Garza Kudos to AMAZON PRIME for it’s selection of 1970s grindhouse, sexploitation films. DR. TARR’S TORTURE DUNGEON (1973) also known as HOUSE OF MADNESS and THE MANSION OF MADNESS is a strange, surreal adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s short story, THE SYSTEM OF DOCTOR TARR AND PROFESSOR […]

PEE WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE (1985) – Comedy Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I love Paul Reubens. Growing up, PEE WEE HERMAN’S PLAYHOUSE (1986) was a staple, every Saturday morning, in my bedroom. I’d also watch his movies whenever they were on HBO. Though, BIG TOP PEE-WEE (1988) is enjoyable, it cannot compare to the original, nerd punk, cult […]
Four Dimensions of Greta (1973)- Sexploitation Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Staying with the tone of sexploitation movies and jumping back into discussing my favorite topic, Richard O’Brien, I’ve opted to review a strange little comedy with 3D sequences, a bunch of sex, an odd plot, and most importantly to me, a certain long haired […]
Tiny Toon Adventures: Night Ghoulery (1995) – Horror Anthology Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza When looking for different things to review for Halloween, I found that HULU is streaming TINY TOON ADVENTURES: NIGHT GHOULERY (1995). I remember when this first came out and how much I loved it. Even now, well over 20 years later, it holds up marvelously. […]
The Ink Thief (1994) – British TV Show Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Why? Why can’t we have nice things? The abomination that was the THE CAT IN THE HAT (2003) movie has gotten multiple DVD releases. The irredeemable, worthless CAILLOU (1997) cartoon has countless episodes available to own. So, surely, THE INK THIEF (1994) a […]
The Top 20 Episodes of BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES
By Melissa Antoinette Garza In-between comic book fans running to the theater to watch and re-watch SUICIDE SQUAD an old friend is always ready to be enjoyed. BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES and THE NEW ADVENTURES OF BATMAN are among the best animated series of all time. The top […]
Snatched (2017) – Amy Schumer, Goldie Hawn COMEDY MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee There was a time when I sort of liked Amy Schumer as a comedian, but then she began pushing her political views and I gave up on her. I really hate when a celebrity pushes their political agenda or the agenda of the politicians that have purchased […]
HORNS (2013) – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Welcome to the fall! This is the time of year when I come alive and have fun. All the horror movies I’ve been meaning to watch or that have been on the backburner get brought out; and today, on the first day of fall, […]
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (1988)
By Melissa Antoinette Garza “There‘s nothing wrong with G rated movies as long as there‘s lots of sex and violence.” – Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) When I was in elementary school, some girls idolized She-Ra, some lived for Rainbow Brite. The young intellectuals of the bunch may have even thrown Nancy […]
ELVIRA’S HAUNTED HILLS (2001) – HORROR COMEDY Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Currently, I am on a Richard O’Brien kick. He’s been an obsession of mine since I was thirteen. A few years ago, I finally got a tattoo on my shoulder of his ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW character Riff Raff with Patricia Quinn’s character Magenta. RHPS […]
I FEEL PRETTY (2018) – Comedy Movie Review (Available to Rent or Buy on Amazon)
By Melissa Antoinette Garza When in theaters, I made it a point to skip I FEEL PRETTY. At one time, I loved Amy Schumer. I loved TRAINWRECK (2015) and there were several skits on her show that I found to be really funny. My disdain for her began […]
Rude Awakening (1989) – AVAILABLE ONLY ON VHS and YOUTUBE
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I own RUDE AWAKENING (1989) on VHS and it doesn’t appear that it was ever released on DVD. Someone put the entire film on YOUTUBE and other than the first 3 minutes that has no sound, it’s probably as good a copy as you’ll find. […]
