By Melissa Antoinette Garza I’m going into full fem goddess mode tonight. I only vaguely remember hearing about BACHELORETTE (2012). I never saw it, but it’s free on NETFLIX. I know the female leads to be accomplished and talented actresses so going in, I had moderate expectations. I enjoy […]

A Simple Favor (2018) – Movie Review ****Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, Sean Townsend, Paul Feig,
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Welcome back, Paul Feig! You had me at “Starring Anna Kendrick.” In the last year or so, I have just been entranced with her. TABLE 19 (2017) and MR. RIGHT (2015) in particular made me fall in love. When I saw the trailer for this […]
Serial Mom (1994) – Dark Comedy Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I haven’t seen SERIAL MOM (1994) in 20 years. When it first came out I loved it. I adore John Waters, but for some reason I just never picked this up once DVDs became a thing. I’m sure I still have my old VHS […]
Carpool (1996) – Tom Arnold, Rachael Leigh Cook Comedy Movie Review
By Geno McGahee Tom Arnold can be really funny as he was in TRUE LIES and I can see why producers would want to invest in him and place him as the lead in a straight to video comedy, which is what they did with the 1996 film “CARPOOL.” He […]
THE FIRST WIVES CLUB (1996) MOVIE REVIEW
Who the hell hurt Rizzo? Who was it? I’ll kill them. I’ll kill the bastard. Stockard Channing is my hero. As a child when I would watch GREASE (1978), everyone would say how my sister was like Sandra Dee, but me I was always the bad one. I was Rizzo […]
CRAZY RICH ASIANS (2018) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I had wanted to see CRAZY RICH ASIANS (2018) when I first saw the trailer. Though I haven’t yet read the book, I was attracted to it because of the cast. Constance Wu in the lead was certainly a draw. She’s one of today’s funniest comedians […]
Earth Girls Are Easy (1988) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza EARTH GIRLS ARE EASY (1988) is a strange rare breed that set out to be a cult film and succeeded wonderfully. It’s like THE BURBS (1989) in that respect. It has aliens, comedy, music, and Jeff Fucking Goldblum! The film begins with three furry aliens […]
Men At Work (1990) Comedy Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Remember when Charlie Sheen was both cute and cool? I do. Can we go back to 1990? This was one of my favorites growing up. When I hit the video stores and would grab 7 movies for 7 days for $7.00, this was often […]
9 to 5 (1980) Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza If there is a woman alive who hasn’t had to deal with a barrage of idiocy online from alpha-male morons, who long for the days of female servitude, I haven’t met her. I envy her, but I haven’t met her. To cleanse myself of the latest […]
SPICE WORLD (1997) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I typically love films that follow musical bands around. The Monkees HEAD (1968) and Sonny and Cher’s GOOD TIMES (1967) are among my favorites. SPICE WORLD (1997) is a fun addition to this small genre of great flicks. Some would tell you that the film SPICE […]
Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978) – Musical Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Despite growing up in chaos as a child, I had an optimistic streak that could keep me going. There were certain movies that brought this out in me. One of those is the often trashed, under-appreciated cult masterpiece SGT. PEPPERS LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND (1978). […]
BLOOD FOR DRACULA (1974) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza BLOOD FOR DRACULA (1974) aka Andy Warhol’s DRACULA, begins with the Count (Udo Kier) putting on cosmetics. One of my kicks is certainly watching a sexy gent delicately apply makeup. I often just watch a video of Klaus Nomi in front of a mirror doing the […]
