LB Sees The Complete BULLET IN THE FACE

TVWriter™ ran a post yesterday about the new BULLET IN THE FACE DVD, where we, well, what we did was give it our highest recommendation.

How much did we like it? So much that, hey, I even wrote an Amazon.Com review:

LB Sees LONGMIRE

by Larry Brody

…And I actually watched two complete Season 3 episodes before writing this. If that doesn’t qualify as above and beyond the call of duty, what does?

Hmm, I guess that’s the review.

Okay, you talked me into it. Here’s a little more: read article
