 There's a reason Ava DuVernay's sober and moving account of the months between the 1963 bombing of a Birmingham church by white supremacists and Congress' 1965 passage of the Voting Rights Act is titled
Selma and not, say,
Dr. King.
DuVernay's film, which opens in limited release Christmas Day, doesn't attempt to be a biopic about the towering historical figure at its center, the Rev. Martin Luther King, who's played with quiet authority by the magnificent British actor David Oyelow
Selma isn't the story of a man but of a movement, and of a very specific turning point within that movement...

Sly Stone awarded $5 million in back royalties, damages
CNN)

That's the $5 million message from jurors in California regarding the soul-funk music icon, known for classic Sly and the Family Stone hits such as "Everyday People, " "If You Want Me to Stay," "Dance to the Music" and "Family Affair."
On Tuesday, a Los Angeles Superior Court civil jury found for Stone in his breach-of-contract lawsuit against Even St. Productions, manager Jerry Goldstein and attorney Glenn Stone, awarding him $5 million in royalties and damages.
"This is one for the good guys," Los Angles trial lawyer Nicholas Hornberger said. "These people cheated him and took all his money."
In his lawsuit, Stone (whose legal name is Sylvester Stewart) alleged that Goldstein and Glenn Stone "without the permission of Sly Stone, have received, borrowed, and continue to receive millions of dollars in royalties or derived from royalties," according to the Los Angeles Times.
"They would give him a little money so he would sign stuff," Hornberger said. "They had him sign all sorts of complicated contracts he would never understand, and he just wanted to make music. They just wanted his royalties."
By 2011, Stone was reportedly homeless, living out of a van. READ MORE...
