By Melissa Antoinette Garza As of late, the focus of my reviews have been on movies that I adore. I really haven’t ventured into new territory, all that much. I haven’t wanted to. With all the vitriolic hatred in the world right now, these beloved classic films are like a […]

The Legend of Billie-Jean (1985) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I have loved the movie, THE LEGEND OF BILLIE-JEAN (1985), since I can remember. As a child, I wanted to be the titular character so badly. For a little girl in the 80’s, this was my feminist anthem! When you combine it with the JOAN […]
The Flesh and Blood Show (1972) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza A Pete Walker movie marathon isn’t complete without watching THE FLESH AND BLOOD SHOW (1972). I had to run to my basement and grab the blu-ray for this baby, as it’s not streaming on Amazon Prime, like so many other of his classics. It is available to […]
THE PAUL LYNDE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL (1976) – HORROR COMEDY TV REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I miss real Halloween Specials. They were a staple throughout the 70s and 80s. Character actors, big-named celebrities, funny sketches and killer songs were all thrown together for must-see holiday spectaculars. Nowadays, with the exception of a couple failed attempts at bringing them back and an […]
Massacre at Central High (1976) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza A new kid shows up in school and takes on a clan of bullies, who terrorize all of their classmates. The newbie eventually murders them, much to the satisfaction of the teens, who had been picked on. Once the bullies are all dead, those that were […]
Tiffany Jones (1973) – Comedy Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza After watching HOUSE OF WHIPCORD (1974), I decided to go a lot lighter into Pete Walker territory, for this review. TIFFANY JONES (1973) is a straight-up comedy based on a 1960s British comic strip, by the same name. Like in the comic, Tiffany (Anouska Hempel) […]
A Madea Christmas (2013) – Tyler Perry, Larry the Cable Guy HOLIDAY MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I have never seen a movie with Madea (Tyler Perry). It never appealed to me, but I do Xmas reviews and now I am going to reveal one of my secrets: I like Larry the Cable Guy. Not like like, but like. A couple years ago, I […]
House of Whipcord (1974) – HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza When updating the website, I realized that I haven’t reviewed too many of Pete Walker’s movies. He’s a favorite of mine. Sometimes, I get so hung up watching my guilty afternoon pleasures, reviewing them is the furthest from my mind. I had such a […]
Dr. Tarr’s Torture Dungeon (1973) – Sexploitation Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Kudos to AMAZON PRIME for it’s selection of 1970s grindhouse, sexploitation films. DR. TARR’S TORTURE DUNGEON (1973) also known as HOUSE OF MADNESS and THE MANSION OF MADNESS is a strange, surreal adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s short story, THE SYSTEM OF DOCTOR TARR AND PROFESSOR […]
PEE WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE (1985) – Comedy Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I love Paul Reubens. Growing up, PEE WEE HERMAN’S PLAYHOUSE (1986) was a staple, every Saturday morning, in my bedroom. I’d also watch his movies whenever they were on HBO. Though, BIG TOP PEE-WEE (1988) is enjoyable, it cannot compare to the original, nerd punk, cult […]
Four Dimensions of Greta (1973)- Sexploitation Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Staying with the tone of sexploitation movies and jumping back into discussing my favorite topic, Richard O’Brien, I’ve opted to review a strange little comedy with 3D sequences, a bunch of sex, an odd plot, and most importantly to me, a certain long haired […]
SAVAGE ABDUCTION (1973) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Tonight seems like a good night for a dive into the great sexploitation classics of the 1970s. These are the types of movies they could never make today. I know they tried with the new LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT (2009) and the remake of I […]
