Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

audeince reacted with applause when I saw it, but I found it somewhat dull

perhaps I was disadvantaged by knowing quite a bit of the history of this period, but there were no surprises. The fate of a minor character was unknown to me, but was telegraphed far in advance, and I completely expected it. The acting was fine, the historical atmosphere was superb, McCarthy as himself seems almost unhinged, so it is easy enough to root for the good guys. So it was not a bad way to spend a couple of hours. But it was far from the most fun at the movies I've had lately. As far as Murrow's stirring speech at the end, it seems a little bit dated, after all there are hundreds of TV channels now instead of 2 or 3 and people can choose news or education if they so desire- and most people apparently don't.
