By Melissa Antoinette Garza Today I needed a comfort movie. If I was the average middle-age gal having an off day that would probably be a fuzzy Hallmark flick, but alas I am not. For me, SHAUN OF THE DEAD (2004) is my warm blanket to cuddle with. […]

Goosebumps 2 (2018) – Family Film Review *Wendi McLendon-Covey, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Caleel Harris, Madison Iseman, Jack Black, Mick Wingert*
By Melissa Antoinette Garza As a teen, I loved Fear Street books. I owned them all. I still own a few and read them on occasion for fun. I’d also get the Goosebumps books, but FS was just a tad edgier. The Goosebumps show, however was right up my alley […]
Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999) – Movie Review *Katie Holmes, Helen Mirren, Marisa Coughlan, Barry Watson, Molly Ringwald*
By Melissa Antoinette Garza As much as I’m always full fem, sometimes I am just a teenage gal in a woman’s body. On days like that, TEACHING MRS. TINGLE (1999) is a great place for me to go. Leigh Ann (Katie Holmes) is an A student in desperate need […]
Wild At Heart (1990) Movie Review *David Lynch, Nicolas Cage Laura Dern, Diane Ladd, Willem Dafoe*
By Melissa Antoinette Garza A good friend from across the pond mentioned this flick a few days back. It’s one of my favorites and I haven’t seen it in awhile. It also is that friend’s birthday today so in celebration of my buddy Ian and in honor of David Lynch, […]
Grease (1978) – Movie Review *Stockard Channing, Olivia Newton-John, John Travolta*
By Melissa Antoinette Garza GREASE (1978) is a fantastic musical. There were few weekends that this wasn’t playing on my television as a kid. My older and more conventional sister always saw herself as Sandy (Olivia Newton-John), but me – I am and have always been a […]
Aquaman (2018) – Movie Review ** Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Patrick Wilson, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Nicole Kidman**
By Melissa Antoinette Garza My sister, mom and myself caught dinner and a movie tonight. They chose the movie. I did not want to see AQUAMAN (2018). The trailers didn’t appeal to me. I’m not a Jason Momoa fan. I don’t think he’s attractive. I get why people do. […]
Empire Records (1995) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I was 16 when EMPIRE RECORDS (1995) came out. It’s one of the films that defined the decade. It still packs a punch with me. It’s a mainstream film that reached across the aisle to the cult fandom and did so successfully. It’s the 90s […]
How to Talk to Girls at Parties (2017) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza In another life on another timeline in another realm, I rocked it in the Punk atmosphere of 1970s London. Whereas some say they feel a kinship to the times of Cleopatra or the Witch Trials, I’m a bit more modern. Whenever I see an homage or […]
Valley Girl (1983) – Movie Review *Nic Cage, Deborah Foreman, Elizabeth Daily, Colleen Camp*
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Unsurprisingly, this movie is my jam. I was born in ‘79 and this was a constant on regular TV in the 80s and 90s. It’s a flick where the fems are fabulous and the celebrated boys are fems. The jock preps are the bad guys […]
Harold and Maude (1971) – Movie Review Bud Cort, Ruth Gordon, Cat Stevens, Yusuf
By Melissa Antoinette Garza There will never be another movie like HAROLD AND MAUDE (1971). It’s a perfect movie from start to finish. I’m in love with this flick. If I’m having a bad day or feeling less optimistic about the world around me, I can listen to […]
HouseSitter (1992) – Comedy Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza HOUSESITTER (1992) is one of my favorite movies from the 90s and one of the best comedies of all time. It’s sexy, it’s silly, it’s laugh-out-loud funny and it’s all heart. The entire production is a shout-out to all the naughty fems with sweet […]
THE MIDNIGHT HOUR (1985) – MOVIE REVIEW Jonelle Allen, Lee Montgomery, Dedee Pfeiffer, LeVar Burton, Shari Belafonte, Peter DeLuise, Jonna Lee
By Melissa Antoinette Garza THE MIDNIGHT HOUR (1985) was one of my favorite movies growing up. It was a made-for-TV, 1980s, crazy horror musical with vampire witches, pilgrim demons, resurrected werewolves and a zombie little person. You’ve stopped reading this review and just Googled this movie, didn’t you? I […]
