"Network"ing, No "luck" needed, Clooney's great directorial premiere. Black and white has never been better

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2006)

**** David Strathairn, Robert Downey Jr., George Clooney, Patricia Clarkson, Ray Wise, Jeff Daniels. Directed by George Clooney. Once again black and white proves to be better than color with George Clooney's directorial premiere "Good Night and Good Luck". George also co-writes the fantastic screenplay with Grant Heslov about news reporter Edward R. Murrow (Stratharian, in one of the greatest acting performances I've ever seen) who along with his producer Fred Friendly (Clooney; once again) who aim to take down corrupt U.S Senator Joseph McCarthy. A well written screenplay and great acting all around by a well selected cast including Robert Downey Jr and Patricia Clarkson. George Clooney has done a great job with this film on three levels, writing, acting and great direction. One of my favorites of the year and a pick for The Best Actor Academy Award. Black an white has never been better, no "luck" needed. My final rating 10/10
