By Melissa Antoinette Garza As a child, I was always frightened and fascinated by toy monkeys that clap symbols together. I believe the fear came from the front cover of Stephen King’s book Skeleton Crew (1985). My sister owed the novel and even walking by it would send chills […]

Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines (2012) – Killer Hillbilly HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee In 2003, the big screen hillbilly horror flick “WRONG TURN” was released and it did fairly well. It was big enough to spawn straight to video sequel after sequel after sequel, leading me to the 3 dollar Blu-ray selection at Stop-N-Shop where I found WRONG TURN 5: […]

Get Hard (2015) – Will Ferrell & Kevin Hart COMEDY MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee GET HARD was one of those movies that got bad press right out of the gates. It was almost targeted and it didn’t look very good, but it ended up turning a buck at the box office. Will Ferrell can be very funny and can also […]
Christmas Angel (2012) – Kevin Sorbo, Della Reese & Teri Polo XMAS MOVIE REVIEW

Elf (2003) – Will Ferrell, James Caan XMAS MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee Will Ferrell has a mixed track record. He can make fantastic movies like STEP BROTHERS and ANCHOR MAN, but he can also star in unfunny messes like BLADES OF GLORY and SEMI-PRO. When he’s at his best, he can be hilarious. In 2003, he starred in […]
Skid Row (2015) – Crime/Thriller Whodunit HORROR MOVIE REVIEW
By Geno McGahee I have been hearing about the film “SKID ROW” for quite some time. New York indie filmmaker, Michael Shershenovich, has created a buzz and is now set for release with this project and, much like Michael, SKID ROW is raw and gritty and brings a lot of […]

By Melissa Antoinette Garza Don’t Go in the House (1979) is one of those lesser known, late 70s flicks that rely on practical effects to show some very creepy scenes. The movie starts with our lead character Donny (Dan Grimaldi) being harassed by his boss without reason. One of his […]
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989) – Chevy Chase Comedy Xmas Movie Review
By Geno McGahee I continue my Xmas review spree with the 1989 classic holiday film “CHRISTMAS VACATION.” In 1983, the raunchy and very funny “NATIONAL LAMPOON’S VACATION” was released and became an instant classic. It was followed up with the 1985 “EUROPEAN VACATION”, which was the weakest of the bunch […]
