By Melissa Antoinette Garza I had seen the trailer for this a couple weeks ago, and asked my husband, Stephen to take me. I love films like this. The commercial brought to mind great movies like Little Miss Sunshine (2006) and National Lampoons Vacation (1983). There is something special […]

By Geno McGahee There are a lot of movies that take pokes at the horror genre. Some do it well and some like SCARY MOVIE do not. There is not a better example of a horror film based comedy than the 1989 film “THE BURBS.” I hadn’t seen it in […]
Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon (2012) – Kids Horror Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza When I was a really little kid, I use to both love and be afraid of Scooby Doo. I remember sitting in the chair in the living room with my cousin Traci and I would start to cry at the intro. She would always tell […]
A Good Old Fashioned Orgy (2011) – Comedy Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I love Nick Kroll. I will watch him in anything. I adore him on The League, his stand-up is amazing, and I am anxiously awaiting The Kroll Show to appear on Comedy Central. He’s just awesome. So, I was going through his filmography, which anyone […]
Magic Mike (2012) Movie Review

Piranha 3DD (2012) – RED BOX
Reviewed by Melissa Antoinette Garza I love bad movies. I love films that show their appreciation for bad films when it’s done right. The 2010 remake of Roger Corman’s classic was entertaining and understood its audience completely. I loved it. Club Dredd is another great send-up to these types […]

Earth Girls Are Easy (1988) – Netflix Instant Watch – A sci-fi comedy cult classic that still delivers

The Sitter (2011) – Comedy Movie Review

She-Devil (1989) COMEDY MOVIE REVIEW
Reviewed by Melissa Antoinette Garza In my heart, I’m the same girl I was at 11 years old. As such, sometimes I really like lame films simply because they always used to be on television when there were only 13 channels and nothing else on. She-Devil is one of my […]
21 Jump Street (2012 Movie Review) – Redbox Rental Channing Tatum – Jonah Hill – Ice Cube – Johnny Depp – Peter DeLuise
Reviewed by Melissa Antoinette Garza “You have the right to remain an attorney.” – Jenko (Channing Tatum) When I first heard of the “21 Jump Street” movie, I was torn. The old show was definitely a fun watch but remakes are rarely good. Remakes of television shows are especially […]
