Freemasonry Revealed The Secret History of the Freemasons Koch Entertainment Street: 09.11 The secretive nature of Masonry, the ties it has in the Latter Day Saint church’s history and history in general have always enticed a great deal of curiosity in me.

Darzamat Live Profanity (Visiting the Graves of Heretics) Metal Mind Street: 08.28 I had never heard of Darzamat before, the name sounds like some sort of chemical or something.

A Few Days In September Santiago Amigorena Koch Lorber Street: 09.06 This movie is French! Or just kind of French.

Your Mommy Kills Animals Curt Johnson Street: 2007 Don’t be fooled by the title; this is not another “shockumentary” exploiting animals even further by showing horrible abuse footage.
