A recommendation.
This coming Tuesday, June 17th, there is a movie event worth checking out. The Cold War Film Club meets one Tuesday a month in the bowels of the Diefenbunker in Ottawa’s west end. They run cold-war themed films, like The Manchurian Candidate or even Top Gun. And this coming Tuesday, they’re running a movie that got missed by many people the first time out in 2006. One of the best films of that year, Good Night And Good Luck is just a wonderful film starring David Strathairn as Edward R. Murrow, the renowned journalist who entered into an epic battle with Senator Joseph McCarthy, who was on a gigantic communist witch hunt at the time. (The real Murrow can be seen as the face of Breaking Rock News on that scrolling-thing at the top of the CHEZ 106 web page.) Historically accurate and brilliantly acted, this will likely be the only chance you have to see Good Night And Good Luck outside home DVD. Well worth it.
