Our 2nd annual “Truly Romantic ” Valentine’s– and our DEBUT at our new home, The Hollywood Theater.

“If you gave me a million years to ponder, I would’ve never guessed that true romance and Detroit would ever go together.”

Ah, Valentines Day and her overblown ideas about love. Some feel chocolate and flowers are romantic. Others, champagne and violins. Here at Fleur de Lethal we think romance is best served with red lipstick, kung fu movies,comic books, honey bears, guns and telephone booths. Something leads us to believe many of you do too….

Penned by Quentin Tarantino and Directed by Tony Scott, TRUE ROMANCE stars Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette as Clarence and Alabama Worley. Our inimitable lovers are joined in this wickedly romantic piece of pop-pulp cinema by a dream ensemble cast that includes: Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken Read the rest of this entry »
