Christmas Everlasting (2018) – Tatyana Ali HALLMARK XMAS MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Hallmark holiday movies always have a city person moving to a small town or moving back to a small town and the new CHRISTMAS EVERLASTING is no different. I was sort of nervous going into this one. The writer and director, Ron Oliver, is the man behind […]

The film opens with disfigured Miguel (Alexander Waechter) who is very self-conscience about his appearance. He […]
SUCCUBUS (1968) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza With a tag-line of the sensual experience of ‘69, I have already fallen for Jesús Franco’s SUCCUBUS (1968). I love Franco and his visual choices in depicting variations on S&M, BDSM and sex in general, so if you’re only interested in whether I enjoyed the […]
HOME SWEET HOME (1981) – THANKSGIVING HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza There are not many Thanksgiving horror films out there. Thankfully, one of the few we do have, HOME SWEET HOME (1981) is a wonderful train wreck of insanity. It’s not subtle and it’s not high-brow. It’s over-the-top lunacy done with a self-awareness that makes for some […]

By Melissa Antoinette Garza Dario Argento has provided horror with countless violent, gory sexy and genuinely scary films. DEEP RED (1975) is among his best. In the opening sequence we see a shadow of someone being stabbed while cheerful music is played and a Christmas tree can be seen in […]
Original Gangstas (1996) – Jim Brown, Fred Williamson, Pam Grier, Wings Hauser ACTION MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee You had me at Wings Hauser. I could end the review right there, although I was mildly disappointed that Wings wasn’t kicking ass alongside the good guys, but he was still the man in this. This film is packed with action stars, including Jim Brown, Fred Williamson, […]
