This oddly titled gem is a crazy crime movie from MidAmerica, set in fictional Ebbing, Missouri, not in Fargo, North Dakota, or Hibbing, Minnesota, or a real hicksville you may know in the Central Time Zone. Forbidding title aside, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing is readily accessible and se…

Spike Lee found a true American tale worthy of his talents in the exploits of detective Ron Stallworth, the black officer who led a successful takedown of the KKK in late Seventies America. It’s crazy funny. Stallworth is a true American hero, straight up, the only one unblemished in Lee’s ted…
