Monkey Washing A Cat
April 20, 2007 | 3 Comments
Most people will have seen this clip by now. It is a favorite of both The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. As far as I’m concerned, there isn’t much funnier than this video of a monkey washing a cat. In fact, I can’t help but giggle every time I watch it…

Good Night, and Good Luck
October 23, 2005 | 7 Comments
George Clooney was on The Daily Show promoting his new movie, Good Night, and Good Luck. After hearing him talk about it along with the short clip shown, I was hooked.
This is a Warner Independent Pictures film done in black and white with a bunch of real footage mixed in. The cinematography alone interests me, but more importantly, the story revolves around the real life conflict between Edward R. Murrow and Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950’s. McCarthy was on a witch hunt for communists and Murrow plus his newsroom staff at CBS stood up to him in an extremely public feud.
Unfortunately, as an independent film it isn’t getting shown on as many screens as I would hope. Right now the closest place to see it is in Boston. Now I’m trying to find an excuse to be in Boston so I can see this. Probably won’t happen and I’ll have to wait for the DVD.
