Good Night, and Good Luck (2005) starring David Strathairn, Robert Downey Jr., Patricia Clarkson, Ray Wise, Frank Langella, Jeff Daniels, George Clooney. Strathairn is masterful in the lead roll as Edward R. Murrow, the CBS newsman who brought down the demagogue Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. But I suspect most viewers will find this movie rather dry and boring, as it consists mostly of talk about political issues. It is a well made movie, directed by George Clooney, but has limited appeal. Grade: B
