By Melissa Antoinette Garza As a writer, there are certain films that I watch and walk away saying, “I wish I wrote that.” 12 ANGRY MEN (1957), PSYCHO (1960), and HAROLD AND MAUDE (1971) all had that impact on me. When I bought THE GOODBYE GIRL (1977), I really […]
UNFORGETTABLE (2017) – SUSPENSE THRILLER FILM REVIEW
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Nothing draws me in more than when a film’s antagonist is an obsessive nut-job. They’re a guilty pleasure that are without question, chick-flicks. I’m grateful to my husband for agreeing to take me as I really wanted to see this one. First, I like […]
Arrival (2016) Sci-Fi Movie Review
It’s about time that a film emerged from the shadows which manages to relight the flame for the rather sparked out alien/UFO sci-fi genre. ARRIVAL (2016) brings us an entirely different format and a close encounter that will stick with the audience for years to come, if not for fear […]
When the Bough Breaks (2016) – Suspense Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza It’s a Sunday and Steve’s downstairs watching some YOUTUBE shows where best friends play videogames and I’m up here watching some big-screen, Lifetime style, chick-flick thrillers. The first on the list was WHEN THE BOUGH BREAKS (2016). This is actually a lot more terrifying […]
The Dressmaker (2015) – MOVIE REVIEW – BEST FRIEND RECOMMENDED – FREE ON PRIME
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I enjoy Kate Winslet as an actress. Despite disliking the wildly popular TITANIC (1997), I recognize her amazing performance. In productions like, THE HOLIDAY (2006), THE LIFE OF DAVID GALE (2003) and the phenomenal ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (2004), Winslet revealed her versatility […]
Perfect Sisters (2014) TRUE CRIME MOVIE REVIEW – FREE ON NETFLIX AND HULU
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Is premeditated murder ever justified? Director Stan M Brooks and writer Fab Filippo pose that question in PERFECT SISTERS (2014). The film tells the true story of two teens who committed matricide in Canada on January 18, 2003. It’s an adaptation of Bob Mitchell’s book, THE […]
The Windmill (2016) – Horror Movie Review- Free on Netflix
By Melissa Antoinette Garza It seems like only yesterday that I was perusing the aisles of local video stores hoping to rent horror movies that were worth the watch. I’d read the back, look at the cover, put it down and pick it back up again before making my […]
God’s Club (2015) -Religious Movie Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza The past few years have been pretty crazy. I began watching religious films, like GOD’S NOT DEAD (2014) for entertainment value alone. I wasn’t really a religious person and bounced into and out of Christianity. It’s only very recently that I felt a solid […]
Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017) – Family Film Review
By Melissa Antoinette Garza I was never as opposed to THE SMURFS (2011) or THE SMURFS 2 (2013) as most people. Some of my favorite online critics and podcast hosts voiced how much they loathed the films, but I enjoyed them, for what they were. I can’t speak for the […]
Dimension 404 – Review (EPS 1 and 2) – Exclusively on HULU
By Melissa Antoinette Garza Anyone who knows me knows that THE TWILIGHT ZONE (1959) is my favorite show of all time, tied only with DRAGNET (1967-1970). Rod Serling was one of the most brilliant minds ever to grace earth. He used his knowledge of human nature to […]
Ritual (2013) – Horror Movie Review (AFTER DARK FEATURE PRESENTATION)
By Melissa Antoinette Garza First and foremost, can we please stop calling movies, books and episodes of TV shows any of the above; RITUAL, A RITUAL or THE RITUAL. There’s like a billion of them! The one that I’m reviewing was distributed and produced by AFTER DARK in 2013. […]
