>>>>Roger Federer may truly be the best tennis player that has ever played the game. I agree. And no "may" about it. He is. And I don't even need to wait to see him win any more tournaments. He has the most complete game I've ever seen. His shotmaking is out of this world. Sometime I wonder how is he able to make a ball do what it does. He can turn any defensive shot into an offensive one on a dime. His footwork is awesome. No other player like it. He is a joy to watch.

This movie needs to be seen by a wide audience for several good reasons. It might--just might stimulate some intelligent young people to enter the mawkish, morally bereft field of journalism and try to accomplish something to benefit the common good once again. It might inspire a few more people with common sense to question their government. It might, just might, stimulate more message movies that are both entertaining and socially worthwhile. Good Night, and Good Luck: When Edward R. Murrow took on Senator Joe McCarthy. Trailers: apple.com quicktime mp3content02.bcst.yahoo.com backup quicktime site movies.yahoo.com yahoo backup site movies.guide.real.com several clips: realvideo backup site-- makes you watch a brief commercial before it plays There have been some folks yapping about how the movie does not really represent Murrow and the state of TV news at the time. These types of criticism are frankly, bullsh@t. Anyone who knows anything about Edward R Murrow knows he wasn't perfect. Knows he had an ego and was forced out of CBC News because he tried to point out the disturbing trend of TV News toward "infotainment". And it is true CBS could have gone after McCarthy much sooner than it did. But this was the 50's. TV News had barely been invented. More to the point would be this question: Why didn't the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune and the Washington Post go after McCarthy much sooner than they did? This movie will give you plenty of insight into why the likes of Ann Coulter are plying their revisionist histories nowadays. Can you spell F-A-S-C-I-S-M?
