Good Night, and Good Luck & Moonstruck

Two fabulous movies. I was dying to see Good Night and Good Luck ever since it came out, but I put it off since it is a serious movie. It's about Ed Murrow (a journalist) who has a television show about current happenings, and he takes down Sen McCarthy. It's about the news-team, the problems they begin to have as they get crusaded against, and how real the times were then. Watched it with my grandparents and David... and my grandmother commented on how she wouldn't leave the TV when the trials against McCarthy were on television. My grandparents remember one of their friends being scared as she had joined some youth social group which was listed as one of the groups affiliated with communism. It's amazing that they are old, remember so much and have lived through so much.

Moonstruck is a movie about Cher and Nicholas Cage, who meet up and fall in love, evne though Cher is the fiancee of his brother. It's about love and the moon as an indicator of love, and although it's quite cheesy, it really is a nice movie. Cher has such big big hair, and she and Cage have NY accents. Quite humorous as well. :) But very enjoyable.
