Lion's Gate with 2 notable releases that have come out of their newly founded relationship with NBC Snl: 25 Years of Music [Review] and Will & Grace - Season 1 and the final notable DVD of the week House of 1000 Corpses [Review] - a movie we panned when it was in the theaters, but that got strong marks from our very own CineSchlock-O-Rama.
