By JIM O’DONNELL This Friday we are opening Oscar winner, Selma for one week only and follow it the next week with Still Alice. Chappie, from the director of District 9 will open this Friday.
We will hold Focus and McFarland USA for another week. Whiplash and Kingsman will end this Thursday.
Don’t miss out on Academy Award winner Whiplash. I saw it last night and it had some of the finest acting I’ve seen – a very intense film.

SELMA is the story of a movement. The film chronicles the tumultuous three-month period in 1965, when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led a dangerous campaign to secure equal voting rights in the face of violent opposition. The epic march from Selma to Montgomery culminated in President Johnson (Tom Wilkinson) signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, one of the most significant victories for the civil rights movement. Director Ava DuVernays SELMA tells the real story of how the revered leader and visionary Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (David Oyelowo) and his brothers and sisters in the movement prompted change that forever altered history.(C) Paramount

CHAPPIE: In the near future, crime is patrolled by an oppressive mechanized police force. But now, the people are fighting back. When one police droid, Chappie, is stolen and given new programming, he becomes the first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself.
As powerful, destructive forces start to see Chappie as a danger to mankind and order, they will stop at nothing to maintain the status quo and ensure that Chappie is the last of his kind. (C) Sony
