IDK about this one I'm usually not interested in anything that has Oprah or Lee Daniels involved but I did enjoy the lead actor in Red Tails. I may give it a try but imo it's so many great documentaries on Selma, Dr.King and his assassination available on yt.

The Assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - YouTube

Inside Story - Who Killed Martin Luther King - YouTube

PBS's Eyes on the prize miniseries was pretty great too hope it gets a bluray release soon.

Yeah...the poster was fine but I guess it didn't show the actors face so it was replaced with this.

Talk about an understatement. It's probably among the worst cover-art i've ever seen.

[lolwut]

Wow, one of the worst indeed. Oscar winning, critically acclaimed film or no-budget DTV release?

[The Debts]

Dear God, that's awful. The original poster was so much better.

[jscoggins]

They make new cover art...w/o even mentioning the Oscar that the movie won.

[Will.]

I guess there's a Walmart exclusive? Anyway, I'm getting that if I can, the cover is so much better than the standard release. Really, anything would be better. Ouch.

fail.

[Chaotic]

The cover is exactly how I pictured it would look. Floating heads with people marching at the bottom.

I don't get what's so bad about it, aside from maybe Tom Wilkinson not being on it. It's nothing great but it's not awful.

Because the movie's probably more well known for all the Oscar nominations it didn't get. Besides, no movie is gonna advertise "Winner of Best Song" on the cover.

[Will.]

Yeah, I think "nominated for best picture" sounds much better than "winner of best song." Maybe I'm just bitter because I wanted Everything is Awesome to win.

I have already pre-ordered this phenomenal film. I can't wait to watch it again.

From a design standpoint it's awful. The Photoshopping is really poorly done.
