Doctor Who’s relationship with crime and criminals is a long and interesting one. The series’ central trope of good versus evil takes on an added dimension when that evil has a more base motivation than ruling the world.

Nick Broomfield’s Tales of the Grim Sleeper follows the case of the serial killer in South Central Los Angeles that spans more than 20 years. The first murder took place in 1985, but an apparent 14-year break between murders earned him the nickname of “the Grim Sleeper.” Lonnie Franklin Jr. was arrested in 2010 and is currently awaiting trial for almost a dozen women, though the number could increase. Though the case is a major part of the film, Broomfield also explores poverty, racism and the police investigation that failed to warn the neighborhood that a serial killer was suspected until 2008.
The film made the Academy’s documentary feature shortlist and could land a nomination at the 87th Academy Awards. Here are seven other documentaries about murder in America that scored nominations (in chronological order):
Four Days in November (1964)
Released just a year after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination,...

Deemed by our Nicholas Bell as a film that is “both prescient and topical in a refreshing representation of modern day’s evolving prejudices”, we can add Dear White People to the list of Sundance Film Festival items that has landed/announced a deal this week. The Wrap reports that Lionsgate Films and Roadside Attractions are once again combining their efforts — landing North American rights to Justin Simien’s debut.

The world was shocked when Amanda Knox was found guilty of the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher in an Italian retrial on Jan. 30. The next day, Amanda sat down with ‘Good Morning America’ anchor Robin Roberts for an extremely raw, emotional interview.
Amanda Knox has been living in freedom since 2011, so she was understandably devastated when she was re-convicted of murdering Meredith Kercher by the Italian justice system on Jan. 30. A very emotional Amanda held back tears as she sat down with Good Morning America host Robin Roberts the next day, discussing her feelings on the verdict, her chances of going back to Italy, her current relationship with Raffaele Sollecito, and her recent interactions with the Kercher family. Check out what Amanda had to say — and view the two videos from the interview — below the jump.

The world was shocked when Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were once again found guilty of the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher, and on Jan. 31, Raffaele got into more trouble when Italian authorities caught him at the country’s border!
Raffaele Sollecito, 29, must be terrified after he was once again found guilty of the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher on Jan. 30. Amanda Knox‘s ex-boyfriend was caught allegedly trying to flee the country after the verdict!
Raffaele Sollecito: Amanda Knox’s Ex-Boyfriend Caught Fleeing Italy
How terrifying. Though Amanda is fighting the retrial guilty verdict in the United States, Raffaele will have to deal with the significantly tougher Italian court system. Perhaps that’s why he was caught allegedly trying to flee the country after the verdict, which could lead to up to 25 years in prison.

Brace yourselves. This list of the Top 100 Greatest Gay Movies is probably going to generate some howls of protest thanks to a rather major upset in the rankings. Frankly, one that surprised the hell out of us here at AfterElton.
But before we get to that, an introduction. A few weeks ago we asked AfterElton readers to submit up to ten of their favorite films by write-in vote. We conducted a similar poll several years ago, but a lot has happened culturally since then, and a number of worthy movies of gay interest have been released. We wanted to see how your list of favorites had changed.
We also wanted to expand our list to 100 from the top 50 we had done previously. We figured there were finally enough quality gay films to justify the expansion. And we wanted to break out gay documentaries onto their own list (You'll find the...

The conversation shifts to the upcoming Scoob-directed video for Weezy's "Steady Mobbin.' "
