By Melissa Antoinette Garza When THE CRAFT came out in 1996, I saw it in the theater with three other people, who loved it. I liked it. It’s silly. It’s fun. I think it was far more influential on THE RAGE: CARRIE 2 (1999) than the original CARRIE (1976) ever […]

Beyond the Darkness (1979) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Third Grade Me in Class Giving A Report of Something I Enjoy: “BEYOND THE DARKNESS is something I enjoy. It’s about a taxidermist who loves his fiance so much that he brings her dead body back home….” That was all I was able to […]
Dr. Caligari (1989) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I love crazy, dark,weird and sexy. Dr. Caligari is an strange piece of indie cinema sexploitation that though has a following, doesn’t quite get the respect it deserves. I feel like this is a movie that was only rented from video stores by 13-year-old […]
Absolute Beginners (1986) – Musical Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza With a lot of negative energy floating around because of the mid-terms, I needed a feelgood movie that is somewhat relevant yet filled with optimism and fun. A musical about the dangers of selling one’s soul seems like a perfect fit. ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS (1986) […]
The Twilight Zone: Number 12 Looks Just like You (1964) TV SHOW REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza This is one of my favorite and one of the most underrated episodes in THE TWILIGHT ZONE series. I like to think of this as a precursor to THE STEPFORD WIVES (1975) as it deals with many of the same themes, but in very different […]
Dark City (1998) – Sci-Fi Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I’ve been holding off on reviewing DARK CITY (1998) because I know eventually I’ll run out of Richard O’Brien projects to review. That thought makes me sad as he’s legitimately my favorite topic to discuss.. Nonetheless, I’m definitely in the mood to see Jennifer Connelly […]
Sleepaway Camp (1983) – Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza SLEEPAWAY CAMP (1983) has to be one of the strangest slashers of all time. It’s a cult classic that spawned 3-4 sequels, depending on who you ask. Some count the unfinished, SLEEPAWAY CAMP IV: THE SURVIVOR (2012), but it’s so choppy and filled with scenes from […]
DNA DETECTIVES (2015) – AMAZON TV SHOW REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I found a new Richard O’Brien show to watch! Thank you New Zealand TV! The delectably delicious O’Brien is the most excellently divine host of DNA DETECTIVES on Amazon Prime. Currently, they have two seasons streaming for free. Each season surrounds 12 New […]
Invitation to Hell (1982) – Horror Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I had never even heard of this film before. I found it on a fan list of British Sleaze movies and coincidentally it was uploaded to YOUTUBE. INVITATION TO HELL (1982) was released straight to video as a double feature with another production called […]
Secretary (2002) – Sexploitation Drama Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza As fans of HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING (1967) will know, a secretary is NOT a toy! That said, it doesn’t mean you can’t have fun playing with one on a level field. SECRETARY (2002) begins with Lee Holloway (Maggie Gyllenhaal) leaving a […]
Corvette Summer (1978) – Comedy Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza CORVETTE SUMMER (1978) is one of those movies that I love introducing people to. It’s a classic that every cult film fan should be aware of. Fans of STAR WARS (1977) and BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES (1992) are always happy to see Mark Hamill and fans […]
Hair (1979) – Musical Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza HAIR (1979) came out the year I was born. It was based on a 1968 Broadway musical by the same name, though the original creators were unhappy with the film adaptation of their work. They noted change of tone and direction and disliked the […]
