So, I started this blog a few days ago to share my lynqs with the few people in my life who allow me to shove. {Shoving (verb): to push one's hobbies and finds on others.} Since then, people are reading from all over! Well found; thank you!
At the Death House Door is a personal and intimate look at the Death Penalty in the state of Texas through the eyes of Pastor Carroll Pickett, who served 15 years as the death house chaplain to the infamous “Walls” prison unit in Huntsville. During Pickett’s remarkable career journey, he presided over 95 executions, including the world’s first lethal injection.
After each execution, Pickett recorded an audiotape account of his trip to the death chamber.
The film also focuses on the story of Carlos De Luna, a convict Pickett counseled and whose execution troubled Pickett more than any other. He firmly believed De Luna was innocent, and the film tracks the investigative efforts of a team of Chicago Tribune reporters who have turned up evidence that strongly suggests he was.
From what I've read, that description doesn't do it justice... You can see the whole special by downloading here.

http://view.break.com/513310 - Watch more free videosA leaked video from a security camera showing a man flipping out in an office has turned out -- surprise, surprise -- to be covert marketing for upcoming Hollywood blockbuster Wanted.
Movie blog Cinematical reports that director Timur Bekmambetov staged the viral prank as a tie-in to the film , which stars Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy as a group of highly skilled assassins.
The undercover advert hit its target spot-on, amassing nearly 4 million views and almost 5,500 Diggs in the week since it was posted.
The video is supposed to invoke themes about escaping one's everyday life -- a point that was probably missed by many, seeing as the guy in the video (above) appears to be going completely and utterly insane.
Wanted hits theaters June 27. It's the first stateside production for Russian director Bekmambetov, whose previous works include the phenomenal dark fantasy flicks Day Watch and Night Watch.
