Murrow signs on in Jackson

Tinseltown Theatre in Pearl will be showing Good Night and Good Luck, the new George Clooney film that details Edward Murrow's coverage of the McCarthy hearings, through next Thursday, November 17th. The movie, shot in black and white, also stars Robert Downey Jr., Jeff Daniels, David Strathairn, and Patricia Clarkson. Show times through this weekend are 1:10 p.m., 4 p.m., 7 p.m., and 9:45 p.m.

I'm thrilled about going to see it, particularly because it appears to examine how television media, then in its infancy, began to shape public debate and opinion. It also seems to explore the media's role in the personal freedoms and civic responsibility of Americans. You can learn more about the movie at its official site.

Anyway, for more information, or to ask about show times for next week, call Tinseltown at 601-936-5856. See you at the theatre!
