For the uninitiated, "Good Night, and Good Luck" is a film about CBS anchor Edward R. Murrow's exposé of Junior Senator Joseph McCarthy during the 1950s. The film is directed by George Clooney and stars David Stathairn as Murrow and Clooney as his producer Fred Friendly. Clooney has said he made the film as a wake-up call to the modern media to start reporting the facts again--to go back to the days when televised news really meant to SHOW what was truly going on.

"Rotten Tomatoes" is a web site that compiles reviews from the media across the country and then computes a percentage of how many of those reviews are positive versus how many are negative. 97% positive is pretty darn high. I actually don't think I've seen a number that high for a film since the first "Lord of the Rings" movie.

Call your local theater and demand that they show this film. It is truly an important piece of filmmaking.
