![]() Borderland $9.99 "Inspired" by a true story, this gruesome movie tells of 3 American males who decide to go down to a Mexican border town for their version of fun for the usual nonsense most males do when they get to leave their hometown. After one of the group gets kidnapped, they then realize that they've unknowingly stumbled upon a Mexican death cult which murders people with impunity. The cops aren't of any help. The bad guys look really bad. Good acting there, realistic depiction of some towns and cities in the Third World where the bad guys run the show. 2 of the 3 friends end up getting killed in a horrific manner, and the remaining 1 gets a little justice of his own when he manages to fend off the last pursuing attacks from cult members. You might like how this movie ends.

Watch: Bordertown Death Sentence (Unrated Edition) ![]() Selena (Spanish) (Sub) [VHS] $6.98 I thought the movie gave viewers like myself an insightful presentation in the life and career of Selena. A good piece of documentary for people who don't live in the Corpus Cristi area. Jennifer Lopez did an outstanding job giving viewers a great profile of Selena. I only wish there was more about the events that led up to her murder, but maybe that's for another time since the story is really about Selena. ![]() Their Word is Law $14.95 I am a HUGE Legal Fiction fan and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Stephen Murphy took a personal curiosity/hobby and published it for the public to enjoy. The interviews with several of the authors were at the beginning of their careers, before they were MEGA-STARS which I find fascinating, because you get to see an insight in to the real person and how they work before fame changed them. The questions were insightful and exactly what I wanted to know about many of the characters these authors made famous. Many of the questions I have never heard asked before in any of the interviews these authors have given since then. Martini had it correct, if you are a legal author fan you will love this book! |
