By Geno McGahee In 1988, CHILD’S PLAY introduced the character “Chucky”, voiced by Brad Dourif. The serial killer’s spirit went into the body of the doll and a series of films branched off the idea. As the films went by, the story got more diluted and scares were replaced with […]

Murder Made Easy (2017) – Blu-Ray Murder Mystery HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I’m a fan of murder mysteries and have seen quite a few. MURDER MADE EASY, from writer/director David Palamaro, is a murder mystery that has strong characters, decent acting and a few shockers along the way that makes this film really work well.. The Blu-Ray has just […]

By Melissa Antoinette Garza I want a book co-written by the Devil so I can attain immortality! That has A Missy written all over it, as does the movie THE NINTH GATE (1999). Shockingly, I never saw this flick. It snuck past my radar the first time around and […]
The Driver (2019) – Mark Dacascos Zombie Movie Review – Released on DVD
By Geno McGahee I haven’t seen Mark Dacascos in something in quite a long time. His work is usually very good. He has a presence and proved to be a capable action star as he did very well in ONLY THE STRONG and the relatively unknown REDEMPTION: KICKBOXER 5. In […]
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year (2008) – Brooke Burns, Henry Winkler Christmas Holiday Movie Review
By Geno McGahee Like most genre films, holiday films have a proven formula…proven by Hallmark and Lifetime at least. You get a woman that is highly successful in business, doesn’t think much of Christmas, has an asshole boyfriend, and meets a new guy that changes her world and the old […]
Home by Christmas (2006) – Linda Hamilton Xmas Holiday Movie Review
By Geno McGahee I love TERMINATOR and most of the other movies in the series and I’ve always been a fan of Linda Hamilton. I never saw that BEAUTY AND THE BEAST TV series though. It always looked weird to me. That guy’s Beast makeup looked fucked up. I wonder […]
Deadline on DVD for the first time since 1961 – TV Show Review
By Geno McGahee As a huge fan of shows like DRAGNET, KOJAK, QUINCY and LAW & ORDER: SVU, I was eager to check out the newly released “DEADLINE,” a series that ran from 1959 through 1961, and I was not disappointed. The show is structured much like DRAGNET with some […]
A Christmas Carol (2009) – Jim Carrey, Robert Zemeckis Disney Holiday Movie Review
By Geno McGahee In 2000, Jim Carrey starred in HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS, a terrible movie. It was a money-maker and some people remarkably like it, but I thought it was basic shit. In 2009, Carrey would take another swing at the holiday and take on the lead as […]
Twas the Night (2001) – Disney Bryan Cranston Christmas Holiday Movie Review
By Geno McGahee I’m a big fan of Bryan Cranston. He is always bringing a great performance to every role that he takes and he has great range, doing drama to comedy and all in between, but the 2001 Disney film “TWAS THE NIGHT”, proves that even a great actor […]
The Lighthouse (2019) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza HOLY FUCK! Let’s just all agree Robert Eggers is the fucking man, and call it a day. Between this and THE WITCH (2015), I’m blown away. I expected to really enjoy THE LIGHTHOUSE. The trailers intrigued me. Eggers passion for filmmaking and thought-provoking horror […]
The Mistletoe Secret (2019) – Kellie Pickler, Patrick Duffy Hallmark Christmas Movie Review
By Geno McGahee Hallmark picks up a lot of former television series actors and actresses for their movies. They’ve gone into reality TV and picked up former AMERICAN IDOL contestant, Kellie Pickler, to star in the latest release “THE MISTLETOE SECRET.” I will say this right now. I liked this […]
Emmet Otter’s Jug-band Christmas (1977) – Xmas Holiday Movie Review
By Geno McGahee When I was a kid, I used to really look forward to catching the Jim Henson/Paul Williams collective effort: EMMET OTTER’S JUGBAND CHRISTMAS. So, I’m now in my forties and decided to give it another go… Emmet (Jerry Nelson) lives with his mother, Ma (Marilyn Sokol), and […]
