1/2/2007
- It's unbelievable
that we actually made it
through to another year.
Not the web site... I mean
the world. With all the
idiots we have running things
nowadays, especially within
our own shores, I can't
believe we're still here.
One of my New Year's resolutions
is to make sure that wherever
I can make my vote count,
I'll do my level best to
make sure we NEVER have
as big a loser in charge
of our country as we have
now.
I will also re-double
my efforts to bring you
as many DVD reviews as
I possibly can. Not as
important of a resolution
to be sure, certainly
an easier one. To start
of the New Year, check
out these titles:
A
Scanner Darkly
Snakes
on a Plane
1/5/2007 - This
week has been a little slow
release-wise, but our own
Gary Murray is back with
an interview of Erin Grunwell,
the teacher who is the subject
of the new film "Freedom
Writers." You can check
out the interview here.
1/14/2007 - Ahhh,
thankfully the holidays
are over and I can get back
to a regular schedule of
reviewing DVDs. Over the
next week or two, as the
great DVD God begins churning
out the little discs in
greater numbers, I'll be
bringing you as many reviews
as possible. I even have
a few short films to tell
you about, some of which
should be seen at all costs.
For today however,
I bring you:
Extras:
Season 1
The
Illusionist
The
Promise
1/17/2007 -
I planned on having some
reviews for you yesterday,
but there has been a pretty
heavy ice storm hitting
our area of Texas. Our DSL
was out yesterday, but is
fortunately back in business
today.
The
Animation Show: Volumes
1 & 2
The
Texas Chainsaw Massacre:
The Beginning
Walker,
Texas Ranger: Season 2
I also got to
check out an awesome and
disturbing film this week.
Can you imagine Colin
Hanks as a depraved and
sadistic voyeur? Me either.
Check him out here:
Alone
With Her
1/23/2007 - Now
that we're getting closer
to the end of January, the
DVD release list is starting
to hit full steam. Expect
a lot of reviews in the
coming weeks. Tonight I'll
start with:
Avatar:
Book 2, Volume 1
Council
of the Gods / Rotation
Sheitan
2/1/2007- Last
week's DFW ice storm did
a number on our DSL service
out here. And as we're set
up in the sticks, getting
things patched up can sometimes
take.. a... long.......
time. But get it fixed we
did. I have a couple of
catch up reviews for you,
then a backlog that I intend
to unleash over the next
couple of days.
Facing
the Giants
Gridiron
Gang
I
Dream of Jeannie: Season
3
The
Guardian
2/3/2007 - Now
that all of our ice storms
are gone and the DSL is
back up, we can post more
reviews (good). But it also
means we have to go back
to work (bad). so here's
a few reviews for the weekend.
Benny
Hill: Volume 6
Flyboys
Jesus
Camp
Prey

III
This
Film is Not Yet Rated

2/5/2007 -

to look like it's going
to be a slam-bang month
for DVDs. I've been looking
over the listings and there
are some real winners heading
out way. Today, I have some
that aren't quite at the
top of the heap, but over
the next few days I'll be
telling you about some terrific
releases.

About You: Season 3

a banner year for contests.

pop up or long long they'll
last! Here's a couple of
new reviews to keep you
going throughout the day:

below:
2/13/2007 - In
the couple of weeks left
until the Academy Awards,
I'm going to be checking
out a bunch of DVDs. Quite
a few of them are nominated

Zoom:
Academy for Superheroes
And
be sure to enter the Bloody
Mary contest. It ends
tomorrow night at midnight!!
2/15/2007 - Ze
Bloody Mary contest... she
is over....how sad. We had
a ton of correct answers...
and quite a few creative
ones... and we are going
to do our tabulations today
using the ultra advanced
"UNIVAC
3200 XR6"
to select our five lucky
winners. We will be feeding
in the punch cards this
afternoon.
(That's right, we ARE
on the cutting edge of 1960's
technology here at Lethal
Death)
2/20/2007 -
We have so much
going on this week I honestly
don't know where to start.
We finished up our contest
to give away 5 copies of
"Bloody Mary",
and it took longer to tabulate
and pick the winners than
I thought. It was our biggest
contest ever and we had
so many right answers, and
a few close ones, that our
winners were picked just
today. I'll be posting the
correct answer and the winners
Thursday.
We also have a whole slew
of DVDs that we checked
out for you, tonight is
just the tip of the iceberg:
Alias
Smith and Jones: Season

2/26/2007 - This
has got to be one of our
biggest weeks ever. Can
you believe we're actually
bringing you 3 contests

2007 looks like its going
to be a banner year for
contests, so be sure to
enter. Who knows? You might
win!!
This week I have a few reviews
for you... well a couple
tonight and whole bunch
tomorrow:
A
Good Year
American
Hardcore
Farce

Quiet
The
Journalist and the Jihadi
Tideland
And before I forget, I want
to mention again a new videogame
that's hitting store shelves.
I haven't had the chance
to try it out yet, but it
kind of sounds like a party.
It's the new American Idol
Karaoke game for the Playstation
2. Next week, after I've
had a chance to play it,
I'll let you know what I
think. I have a couple of
friends in mind that I may
have to videotape 'singing.'

get more info by clicking
here.

already ended. We had a
huge response to our giveaway

the right answer to our
Trivia Question here.
We still have two contests
running though, so if you
didn't win the last one...
keep on trying!!
This week I have a review
for you on a movie set to
hit theatres this weekend.
It's called "The Host",
and let me tell you it's
much, much better than your
average Asian horror flick.

here.
I also have a dose of DVD

til the weekend:
Hawaii
Five-0: Season 1

Park: Season 9

- Once again, the
fickle finger of fate decided
to kick us down for a couple
of weeks. Server issues
caused us to lose several

4/24/2007
Why is it that
computer troubles seem
to follow me everywhere?
Last week I had to arm
wrestle my computer just
to try and get it to boot
up. So after careful deliberation,
I beleive I am going to
be firing my current computer
and replace it with a
younger, curvier model.
In the meantime, let's
see if I can keep this
one from finding out.
Check back with
me tomorrow, by the way.
I have two more brand
new contests coming up.
One for Tartan's "The
Ghost", the other
for TLA's "Pervert."

back and check out these

links to the contest questions
and answers. Next week,
I should have some new and
exciting contests ready
for ya!!
5/22/2007
When you're
a computer illiterate
person like me, the slightest
blip can cause problems
that are seemingly far-reaching.
I thought that replacing
my computer would make
all my troubles go away.
And I'm sure that if I
knew more than how to
boot up and shut down,
they would have. The problem
is trusting someone else
when they say they know
everything about computers
and tell me not to worry
when they transfer old
to new.
Needless to say,
the transfer of materials
did not go smoothly...
and it took three different
sets of hands for me to
find the guy who could
REALLY do it right. So
now we're back in business,
hopefully for good and
reviews should start pouring
in at a much faster rate
than they have been.
So to kick start
us again:
Fur:
An Imaginary Portrait
of Diane Arbus
Stryper:
Live in Puerto Rico
The
Fountain
Who
the #$&% Is Jackson
Pollock
5/29/2007
I was truly hoping
that the Memorial Day
Weekend was going to be
a grand one for our family.
While it had its shining
moments, the rainstorms
hitting Texas brought
with them several pieces
of bad luck. Everything
from running off the road...
backwards to getting locked
out of my own house due
to a power outage (long
story, but trust me...
it can happen).
Let's see if
things can get back to
normal, shall we?
Hannibal
Rising
Hex:
Season 1
Kitchen
Confidential: The Complete
Series
Rescue
Me: Season 3
Secrets
of the Code
Sweeney
Todd: The Director's Cut
The
Droopy Theatrical Collection
5/30/2007
Ahh... it looks
as though things are getting
back to normal. Check
with me tomorrow night
and I will have some newer
reviews for ya...
But in the meantime,
be sure to check ot this
cool new site offering
an animated prequel to
the show "24."
And if you're not watching
this series (just ending
it's sixth season), you're
missing a classic!!
6/12/2007
This time I really
think our computer problems
are at an end. We've been
running several tests
and this new setup seems
to be working just fine.
We even tried putting
the whole thing underwater
and aside from a few bubbles
showing up in our reviews...
there were no problems.
I only wish real life
could be that simple.
The other thorn in the
side of our usual timliness
in getting reviews out
to you is the fact that
by day I work for a 'far
too big' corporate firm.
The last 15 years of this
employ have been pretty
good, but this year they
have decided that a 'reorganization'
is needed. Basically,
it is a head count reduction
that is not being called
a head count reduction
so that the people...
excuse me... the liabilities...
they cut get screwed out
of benefits.
Already they have let
a lot of good people go,
and as is the way of the
ludicrous world that is
corporate, kept some purely
becasue they have the
ability to brown nose.
I have come to the decision
that the previously known
as "Great Place to
Work" is really run
by a bunch of corporate
shills who feel that loyalty
is a one-way street. This
has worn heavily on me
as I have no idea what
the future holds with
this firm. And even if
I am spared from the Angel
of Layoffs, I can't help
but feel disgusted by
what is happening to those
who are not so lucky.
I am told to 'Trust in
my Leadership', but can
only think that those
who have already been
cut must have trusted
in their leadership...
and look where it got
them...
On a brighter
note... I'm back with
a few reviews to get you
through the week:
Deadwood:
Season 3
Diagonsis
Murder: Season 2
Ghost
Rider: Extended Version
Glastonbury
Hogan's
Heroes: Season 6
Mission
Impossible: Season 2
The
Dead Zone: Season 5
6/14/2007
I'll try to keep
you up to date on the ongoing
mess that is taking place
at my day job. I'm sure
most of you really don't
care... but I'm sure having
fun writing about it. for
those who wish to tune out
the soap opera, here's a
few reviews to keep you
busy:
Animaniacs:
Volume 3 / Pinky & The
Brain: Volume 3
Gidorah
/ Invasion of Astro-Monster
Silver
Spoons: Season 1
The
Messengers
The
Outer Limits: Season 1,
Volume 1
The
Practice: Volume 1
Voyage
to the Bottom of the Sea:
Season 3, Volume 1
6/26/2007If
you live anywhere in the
Dallas or Forth Worth, chances
are your house is underwater.
I haven't seen this much
rain since... well... does
the term '40 days and 40
nights' ring a bell?
Thankfully I invested in
a waterproof DVD player
so I was still able to watch
these DVDs and report back
to ya':
Behind
the Mask: The Rise of Leslie
Vernon
Black
Snake Moan
Powerpuff
Girls: Season 1
Reno
911: Season 4
Shooter
The
New Adventures of Superman
/ The New Adventures of
Batman
Walker,
Texas Ranger: Season 3
7/8/2007
So here we are,
another Fourth of July Holiday
come and gone with nary
an accident. Well, at least
in our household. There
were numerous people who
blew themselves up around
the country, I'm just surprised
there WEREN'T more in Texas
(people aren't too bright
in these parts...)
The holidays did give me
a chance to check out a
few DVDs, though the pickings
are always slim at this
time of the year. I'm expecting
next week's mail to be quite...
full. Today I only have
1 DVD review:
Miss
Potter
7/17/2007Not
that I plan on taking any
time to mention my birthday,
but last week was... uh...
my birthday. So many DVDs
came in that I'm still sorting
through them, so expect
quite a few reviews throughout
the week. But for today
be content with:
Beauty
and the Beast: Season 2
Gunsmoke:
Season 1
Tales
From the Crypt: Season 6
7/30/2007
A
few weeks ago I mentioned
the insane antics of the
company I work for during
the day. Wish me luck...
I've interviewed twice
for a new job and am hoping
to hear back this week.
While I'm waiting, I'll
fill you guys in on a
few new DVDs:
Baa
Baa Black Sheep: Volume
2
Monk:
Season 5
Stargate
SG-1: Season 10
The
Host
The
Incredible Hulk: Season
2
8/12/2007
- Ahhh...
as if the pressures of
waiting word on a new
job weren't bad enough,
Lethal Death was without
a domain name for a few
days. That's right...
the silly company that
registers the name opted
to expire it. Though it
is not owned by me directly,
I thought I'd save a little
time by paying for it
myself.... but because
I did not have the proper
passwords this same silly
company would not let
me pay for it.
Let's think about
that for a moment shall
we? I was not asking the
company to change the
ownership to me, nor was
I asking them to give
me any secret passwords.
I did not require any
information that would
casue a breach of any
security. I simply wanted
to give them some moola
in order to get the name
out of expiration mode.
They would not accept
my money... for shame
foolish company.
Anyhow, one of
my good friends who started
this site so many years
ago came through at the
last minute with all the
log in names and password...
allowing me not only to
pay for the name, but
actually change all the
ownership over to me.
So dear readers, Lethal
Death will never expire
again. (Death? Expire?
Hmmm...ironic...)
So we're now
back in business with
one review to kick start
the fun. Over the next
few nights there will
be more... oh so many
more...:
Disturbia
8/14/2007 - This
week is turning out to
be a great one, now that
things are back in order.
I'm slowly catching up
on reviews, so as not
to waste any more time,
here are a couple more
to keep you going until
tomorrow night:
Extras:
Season 2
Rome:
Season 2
8/20/2007 - Sometimes
these weeks seem to fly
by, other times they drag
as thought time has stopped.
As I'm getting older I
honestly think I prefer
the ones that drag...
that way I'm not rushing
to my... uh... impending
doom. Thankfully I'm not
THAT old and impending
or not, that doom should
be a long, long, long
way off. (Unless of course,
I get poppped by some
idiot gang member or crazed
gunman considering this
has become such an increasingly
violent world.
That said, I'm
glad I have this neat
little 'hobby' that allows
me the opportunity to
watch movies and shows
that I might not have
had the chance to otherwise.
For example, this week
I sat back to watch these
DVDs:
Darkman
Trilogy
Flash
Gordon: Saviour of the
Universe Edition
Serenity:
Special Edition
The
Simpsons: Season 10
