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 […]

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 […]

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.

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. […]
Ever After: A Cinderella Story (1998) – Fantasy Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Certain movies, I enjoy not just for the quality of the film, but also because of what the film invokes in my own memory. EVER AFTER: A CINDERELLA STORY, for me, will always be connected strongly to my sister-n-law Dani. For starters, I believe […]
Table 19 (2017) – Available on Amazon & VUDU
By Melissa Antoinette Garza If there is one type of movie that I adore, it’s when a band of misfits unify and find out things about themselves that they didn’t know. LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE (2006), WE ARE THE MILLERS (2013), SUICIDE SQUAD (2016) and most recently THE LEGO […]
Tracy Morgan: Staying Alive (2017) Free on Netflix
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I always liked Tracy Morgan. I loved him on Saturday Night Live. He was on it when it was actually funny. He was the best part of 30 ROCK and was hilarious in the comedy FIRST SUNDAY (2008), the underrated COP OUT (2010) and […]
The Goodbye Girl (1977) – Classic Movie Review & Dreyfuss Initiative
By Melissa Antoinette Garza As a writer, there are certain films that I watch and walk away saying, “I wish I wrote that.” 12 ANGRY MEN (1957), PSYCHO (1960), and HAROLD AND MAUDE (1971) all had that impact on me. When I bought THE GOODBYE GIRL (1977), I really […]
