Selma is the story that you thought you knew, but have never really been told. It is the story that is in our history books, but one that you have never experienced. The film is an unflinching look at a piece of history that is fifty years old, yet never felt so contemporary and urgent. Despite […]

The Farrelly Bros. (Dumb & Dumber, There’s Something About Mary) have shown to be interested in making only one type of film.
