Good night, and good luck.
Wow.
Rivetting. Superb.

In this red part of a blue state, 5PM show was almost full. Children of all ages, oldsters, middle aged, couples single folks.
They all walked out with one idea.
The Bush administrartion sucks, and what McCarthy did to this country in the '50s, Bush is doing to us now.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Sorry, if this is a repeat.

1. No repeat. It's a wonderful film, and sincere praise is always good. NT

5. I'm going tomorrow night
I feel compelled to support liberal movies. Which is easy, cause they're generally worth seeing.
And Clooney seems to be fearless about taking on politically charged themes. We need more movies showing the world we are not all wingnut goose-steppers who shout "Bring It On!"

2. Interesting. It was hard to find. Had to drive for 30 minutes, past 4
major cinema centers to get to it. Glad I did, though.

7. do it. take friends, family, fiends and relatives. It is an important film
plus, clooney - shit. I did not suspect that the man was a really talented film maker.
his idea to keep it black and white forced you to concentrate on the story - and being understated, he made the point even more effectively.

Clooney did a great job, on screen and off.

6. Saw it in conservative South Orange County
Was one of the few times I've ever heard an audience applaud at the end of the movie, but this crowd in this conservative area did it.
