Movie Reviews
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
Reviewed by Melissa Garza “I’m coming for blood, no code of conduct, no law.” Logan (Hugh Jackman) Many of the critics panned the latest edition of the X-Men franchise. Some have labeled it predictable, cheesy, and of course the comic book crew are up in arms about how much it […]
The Devil’s Ground (2008)
Reviewed by Melissa Garza “Better keep quiet or the hog man will get you.” – Tammy (Maria Gruending) The film opens with Carrie (Daryl Hannah) on her way to Bangor when she nearly runs her car into Amy (Leah Gibson) who is standing in the middle of the street covered […]
A Guide to Salem
By Melissa Garza I’ve always loved Salem. I’m both a historical buff and a fan of most things related to horror, so Salem is a perfect fit. I’ve been there quite a few times but visiting the new attractions and hearing the tragic history of the city retold is an […]
2011 Japan Earthquake *Visit www.redcross.org to help*
A Plea From Melissa and Stephen Garza Whenever an awful tragedy occurs, I recall the saying “there but for the grace of God go I.” As an agnostic who wants to be a Christian, I can’t help but think in times like this, where God’s grace is. If one positive […]
Dragnet (1949 to 1970)
Dragnet (1949 to 1970) Reviewed by Melissa Garza “There are over five thousand men in this city who know that being a policeman is an endless, glamor-less, thankless job that’s gotta be done. I know it, too. And I’m damned glad to be one of them.” – Joe Friday (Jack […]
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) – Horror Comedy Movie Review
Reviewed by Melissa Antoinette Garza “What in tarnation is going on here?” – Farmer Gene Green (Royal Dano) Though a cult film fan since childhood, I avoided this film for most of my 20s. I had bad memories of watching it over and over again when I was young because […]
Megamind (2010)
Reviewed by Geno McGahee Superhero movies are very popular and they all typically follow the same theme. There is the hero and then there is the evil force that they must defeat to save the people. In MEGAMIND, we have a new take on the same story and it is […]
Mirrors 2 (2010) – Horror Movie Review
Reviewed by Geno McGahee I didn’t like the first MIRRORS at all. I thought it was complete garbage, so I was hesitant to even watch a straight to DVD sequel, but I’m a horror fan, so I’m a glutton for punishment. MIRRORS 2 stars the talented Nick Stahl in the […]
Sweet Home Alabama (2002)
Reviewed by Forris Day Jr. I like a good chick flick. Most guys really do but are afraid to admit it. “Sweet Home Alabama” is the story of Melanie Carmichael (Reese Witherspoon) who has left her white trash family in the south to pursue a career as a fashion designer […]
Twilight Zone: The Self Improvement of Salvadore Ross (1964)
Reviewed by Geno McGahee I like villains and we have a pretty good one in Salvadore Ross (Don Gordon). Ross is a guy that will take advantage of anyone, doesn’t care about anyone but himself, and is obsessed with a woman that he will not allow to leave his life. […]
The Mist (2007)
Reviewed by Geno McGahee I have to admit that I wasn’t at all optimistic about this movie. Stephen King has been off his game for quite a while in both written and film form, and considering that “The Mist” was one of my favorite horror stories of all time, my […]
