By Melissa Antoinette Garza After Bill Maher continued his streak of being the biggest douche ever by insulting Stan Lee, his work and comic book fans worldwide, I needed some comfort food so I’m venturing to one of my faves. I’ve loved the THE BURBS (1989) since I first […]

SLEEPAWAY CAMP II: UNHAPPY CAMPERS (1988) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza When I was 12 years old, this was my jam! I’d rent this and SLEEPAWAY CAMP III: TEENAGE WASTELAND (1989) all the time. I had virtually no friends so I had plenty of time to watch cheesy silly horror flicks. Being a loser loner wasn’t all […]
Girly (1970) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I love the insane villains of the 1970s. The way that women were allowed to tap into sexy crazy back then. DEATH GAME (1977), LET’S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH (1971) and THE BLOOD SPATTERED BRIDE (1972) are all sensational examples of the different ways […]
BASEketball (1998) – Comedy Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Why does this movie get such a bad rap? I saw this in the theater and loved it. I’ve watched it probably a dozen times since its release. It gets lukewarm reviews, but I enjoy it nearly as much as AIRPLANE (1980). It’s a […]
The Mumbo Jumbo (2000) – UK Musical Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza It came! THE MUMBO JUMBO (2000) unreleased to US audiences came in the mail today and plays marvelously in my PS4! Nothing is better than receiving something in the mail with Richard O’Brien’s face on the cover. YUMMY! The movie opens with Thomas Doubting (Jamie Walters) […]
Dr. Caligari (1989) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I love crazy, dark,weird and sexy. Dr. Caligari is an strange piece of indie cinema sexploitation that though has a following, doesn’t quite get the respect it deserves. I feel like this is a movie that was only rented from video stores by 13-year-old […]
Absolute Beginners (1986) – Musical Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza With a lot of negative energy floating around because of the mid-terms, I needed a feelgood movie that is somewhat relevant yet filled with optimism and fun. A musical about the dangers of selling one’s soul seems like a perfect fit. ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS (1986) […]
Corvette Summer (1978) – Comedy Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza CORVETTE SUMMER (1978) is one of those movies that I love introducing people to. It’s a classic that every cult film fan should be aware of. Fans of STAR WARS (1977) and BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES (1992) are always happy to see Mark Hamill and fans […]
Hair (1979) – Musical Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza HAIR (1979) came out the year I was born. It was based on a 1968 Broadway musical by the same name, though the original creators were unhappy with the film adaptation of their work. They noted change of tone and direction and disliked the […]
Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982) Musical Comedy Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Dolly Parton is definitely one of the earliest girl crushes I had. Between this and 9 TO 5 (1980), I was very smitten! Show me a bad girl with a good soul and I’m hooked every time. She’s just gorgeous inside and out, a true […]
Dungeons & Dragons (2000) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Richard O’Brien’s character has a harem of women in this film! Wait, that’s not the way to start a review. I apologize. Richard O’Brien’s character has a GODDAMN harem of women! Thank the Lord! Hallelujah! Dreams do come true! Well, as much as a PG-13 […]
Flash Gordon (1980) – Science Fiction Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza My older brother and sister watched this film constantly when I was a kid. Back then my main attraction to the movie was the killer QUEEN soundtrack which is still an enticing motivator. Though, it isn’t the most enticing part of the movie. That […]
