First, the plot: Ellie Andrews has just tied the knot with society aviator King Westley when she is whisked away to her father's yacht and out of King's clutches. Ellie jumps ship and eventually winds up on a bus headed back to her husband. Reluctantly she must accept the help of out-of- work reporter Peter Warne. Actually, Warne doesn't give her any choice: either she sticks with him until he gets her back to her husband, or he'll blow the whistle on Ellie to her father. Either way, Peter gets what (he thinks!) he wants .... a really juicy newspaper story.
This is such a classic film, you should have seen it and loved it already. If you don't but- GO NOW! It truly deserves its place on the IMDb top 250 list, if not a higher spot. It captures the romance of cinema in the 30's and 40's. A classic.

Firstly, the plot: For young Charlie Brewster, nothing could be better than an old horror movie late at night. Two men move in next door, and for Charlie with his horror movie experience, there can be no doubt that their strange behavior is explained by the fact that they are a vampire and his undead day guardian. The only one who can help him hunt them down is a washed-up actor, Peter Vincent, who hosts Charlie's favorite TV show, Fright Night. Vincent doesn't really believe that vampires exist, but does it for the money...
Fond, fond memories of my childhood. Well more like my teenagerhood. This film is set in a neighbourhood in America (not the hood). Great horror, great comedy and pathetic sound editing all makes one good film. ENJOY THE NIGHT!!

First, the plot:
In the early 1950's, the threat of Communism created an air of paranoia in the United States and exploiting those fears was Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin. However, CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow and his producer Fred W. Friendly decided to take a stand and challenge McCarthy and expose him for the fear monger he was. However, their actions took a great personal toll on both men, but they stood by their convictions and helped to bring down one of the most controversial senators in American history.
This was one of the best movies I have seen in the last decade. I am currently studying journalism at university and have always had an avid interest in television and the media. It is fantastic to watch a movie like this and watch what journalists have to had to deal with and cover. Inspiring.
