The plot thickens... Jim and Michael are both becoming increasingly insane, but also beginning to look more like friends than foes in the face of the sinister conspiracies. The concluding episode continues to set the screen alight and Bleasdale's message is superbly hammered home.

GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK (2005)
CertificationPG Our Rating
Goodnight And Good Luck takes place during the early days of broadcast journalism in 1950s America, chronicling the real-life conflict between television newsman Edward R Murrow and Senator Joseph McCarthy, head of the House Un-American Activities Committee. Murrow, his news team and, indeed, CBS itself made a defiant and impassioned stand against McCarthy's increasingly delusional, corrupt and fear-fueled rants and this, George Clooney's second turn in the director's chair, is a beautifully suc

A long time a-comin... This much anticipated ode to Dylan received much hype before its release and precipitated a resurgence in the Great Man's popularity.

OUTFOXED (2004)
CertificationE Our Rating
‘Fast, Fair and Balanced'. So the FOX News credo goes. This compelling (if slightly overcooked) documentary about the systematic bias inherent in Murdoch's Neo-Conservative news channel is a must see to anyone with a passing interest in how They take Their news over There. From explaining how FOX's misinformation led to a massive percentage of its viewers believing there was a proven link between Iraq and Al Quaeda to a sensational interview with the belligerent Bill O'Reilly chastising the son

SHATTERED GLASS (2003)
Certification12 Our Rating
The true story of one of America's young rising journalistic stars. In 1998 New Republic star reporter was exposed as a liar and fraud, at least 27 of his 41 published articles were fully or partially made up. Awesomely good. NB The DVD extras include good real life interviews with 3 of the protagonists in a TV piece.
