By Melissa Antoinette Garza Why did James Dean have to die? He was the epitome of cool, had everlasting sex appeal and his performances always stay with the viewer. This review is going to have spoilers but the story is very well-known and revealing the plot points doesn’t take […]

Twister (1996) – Bill Paxton & Helen Hunt DISASTER MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I finally got to see TWISTER. This was during that time of disaster movies like DANTE’S PEAK, VOLCANO, DEEP IMPACT, ARMAGEDDON and TITANIC. Hollywood was pumping them out and boy did they have fun with the CGI. In the 70s, there were movies like THE TOWERING INFERNO […]
Fantastic Four (2015) – Marvel Superhero Summer Blockbuster MOVIE REVIEW
By Andrew Bard The new summer superhero blockbuster was nothing more than a Fantastic Bore. When director Josh Trank delivered an open apology and bashed the film and the studio for its shortcomings I knew this film was going to be a train wreck but what I got was somewhat […]
It Follows (2014) – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Ann It Follows is an independent horror movie that had a positive run at Cannes Film Festival, followed by limited theatrical release in March 2015. With only a couple lesser known titles under his belt, director David Robert Mitchell found commercial success with this one. The movie starts […]
No Way To Treat A Lady (1968) – Rod Steiger & George Segal CRIME/THRILLER MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Rod Steiger was just an incredible actor and he brings his A game to the 1968 crime/thriller “NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY.” The film surrounds a master of disguise (not Dana Carvey, thank god) that is going around strangling women, leading to a manhunt, headed up […]
Elysium (2013) – Matt Damon & Jodie Foster – SCI-FI MOVIE REVIEW
By Brent Hannon Director Neil Blomkamp is at it again, this time with the film Elysium. Set in the year 2154, the Earth is in shambles. The opening cinematics shown are of a city comprised of improvised shacks built on endless acres of dry cracked dirt. Sky scrapers are now […]
Spring (2014) – Lou Taylor Pucci & Nadia Hilker HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Ann Spring is a simple, yet beautiful, movie that explores a very non-traditional love story and stars Lou Taylor Pucci (Evil Dead 2013) and Nadia Hilker. Lou Taylor Pucci is an actor that I always enjoy seeing on screen and I had the pleasure of meeting him recently. […]
The Lazarus Effect (2015) – Horror Film Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza This movie is not one to see because it’s unique, interesting or scary. It is only worth seeing to view what great actors can do with a mediocre script and at times painful dialogue. The film begins with a pair of scientists and a few […]
The Shaggy Dog (2006) – Robert Downey JR & Tim Allen DISNEY MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee In 1959, THE SHAGGY DOG was released. I never saw it, but apparently it demanded a remake with terrible CGI throughout. At this time, other family movies like CARS and HAPPY FEET were doing well and kids love dogs. So, this remake must have made sense at […]
Creep (2014) – Mark Duplass HORROR MOVIE REVIEW – Netflix Streaming Film
By Geno McGahee There are two kinds of found footage films. We usually see meaningless dialogue leading to a shocking ending with the hopes that you will forget that you sat through 90 minutes of pure shit to get there. PARANORMAL ACTIVITY is a good example. Then, you have […]
Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (1987) – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee In the late 80s, horror was putting out some incredibly successful productions and the most notable were the franchise films. FRIDAY THE 13TH and A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET were making big money and this did not go unnoticed. If those franchises worked, others would work too, […]
Prom Night (1980) – Jamie Lee Curtis Slasher HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Well before there was I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER and SCREAM there was a movie by the name of “PROM NIGHT.” I haven’t seen this film in a long time and I remember not thinking much of it, but after all these years, I have […]
