    Good Night And Good Luck

    A very quiet, very powerful and accurate look at how Edward R Murrow took on Senator McCarthy and the price he( Murrow )eventually paid. George Clooney directs magnificently. It's in B&W and rightly so as it mixes well with orginial B&W tv newscasts of the various McCarthy hearings on who was or who wasn't a communist.

    This is also an excellent look at early television and how news shows were produced. CBS was certainly the leader at the time.

      Good movie, I saw it last night and quite enjoyed it, loved the whole cigarette thing, very funny to see that in today’s anal climate.

        Today's "anal" or "health-effects-aware" climate? Even smokers are better off not having to breathe someone else's second hand smoke. :>)

            just saw this last week - great movie....

            i think it was very daring since this movie could have easily been really boring and dry if they did not do it right.

            the sound track is also great - just picked it up tonight.

              Rented it.

              :35: out of :5:... close to Four Stars.

              The style and music was fantastic.
              A one timer for me though.

                I totally agree, Nick. A really good watch, but once is enough.

                  Does cigarette smoke damage speakers?
                  by george_k
                  My brother recently started smoking again, came home from work and our place stunk.

                  Tomorrow my brand spanking new 703's will be delivered and I'm wondering if I'd be better off placing them in my room instead of the living area. Does cigarette smoke affect the speaker cone/surround,...

                  Turn on those FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
                  by George Bellefontaine
                  I love sports movies of all kinds, but even though I'm not a huge football fan, I find that football movies seem to be the best. My collection includes titles such as: NORTH DALLAS 40, ALL THE RIGHT MOVES, EVERYBODY'S ALL AMERICAN, THE REPLACEMENTS, ANY GIVEN SUNDAY, and now FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS....

                  Three Dog Night Fans: Chuck Negron Live
                  by Glen B
                  Are there any Three Dog Night fans here ? I just bought a copy of Chuck Negron's "Live in Concert" CD. It is a nice, updated retrospective of some of the old Three Dog Night hits and worth a listen. To refresh memories, Chuck is the former lead singer of Three Dog Night. I was not aware...

                  An old fashioned movie night
                  by Ovation
                  Everyone in the house is sick (I'm at the tail end--the kids (2 and 6) and mother are in the thick of it) so I had to be nearby, especially for the little one. This meant no retreating to the HT room with the full audio/visual extravaganza. Rather, I spent the night (after the hockey game, of course)...

                  In music a lot of it is hit and miss. Unlike movies and equipment, there isn't a ton of info to help one decide on taking a chance on new material. And my choosing this disc was no different. I just stumbled across it while browsing and gave...
