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 […]
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Maybe I just need to let Steve pick the movies from now on. The only real reason I went to this was because I’m a dutiful wife married to a great guy who deserves it. I had no intentions of really enjoying it. I […]
PRIDE (2014) Movie Review – *Ben Schnetzer, Abram Rooney, Jim McManus, George MacKay*
By Melissa Antoinette Garza When disenfranchised groups unite to take down the man, great things can happen. In 1984, the miners on strike and the lesbian and gays were the disenfranchised and the man was Margaret Thatcher. The film begins when gay activist Mark (Ben Schnetzer) notices less […]
The Big Fat Quiz of the Year (2018)
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Every year, I look forward to the BIG FAT QUIZ of the year and the BIG FAT QUIZ of everything. As it airs in the UK and I live in the states, I usually have to wait a few days to see it. Today, someone […]
Schlock (1973) – Comedy Movie Review **John Landis, Eric Allison, Eliza Roberts, Emile Hamaty**
By Melissa Antoinette Garza SCHLOCK (1973) is John Landis’s first film and it is sensational. It’s a ridiculous parody that is essentially a series of skits involving a Bigfoot type species known as Schlock. The plot follows an animal known as The Banana Killer. Anchorman Joe Putzman (Eric Allison) […]
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1967) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Bashful boys can be the most adorable ones to play with. J. Pierpont Finch (Robert Morse) is extremely bashful. He’s cute as a button and such a sneaky little minx. I love him. Pierpont buys a book entitled How to Succeed in Business Without Really […]
Where the Heart Is (2000) Movie Review ** Natalie Portman, Ashley Judd, Stockard Channing, James Frain, Keith David**
By Melissa Antoinette Garza This movie makes me cry, several times, every single time that I watch it! It’s evil. It’s diabolical. It pulls on your heartstrings and doesn’t let go until the end. I love this film. WHERE THE HEART IS (2000) follows the life of 17 year […]
Outrageous Fortune (1987) – Shelley Long, Bette Midler, George Carlin COMEDY MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Shelley Long was very popular on CHEERS and tried to turn that into a movie career, but it just wasn’t there. She did HELLO AGAIN, TROOP BEVERLY HILLS and OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE, but none of them made much of a dent and didn’t make Long the superstar that […]
