Comments on: The wildest newspaper movie I’ve ever seen http://blogs.e-rockford.com/movieman/2008/02/04/the-wildest-newspaper-movie-ive-ever-seen/ When film critic Will Pfeifer isn’t watching movies, he’s reading about movies, talking about movies, thinking about movies or dreaming about movies. Now he shares that unhealthy obsession with you. From Hollywood hits to Japanese obscurities, from Oscar night to the summer season, he’s got movies on the brain — and on this blog.

The news biz is always pretty interesting -- though admittedly, not quite as crazy as in FIVE STAR FINAL. Adam -- Good call. ACE is a great movie, and finally available on DVD. ElDizzle -- I really liked SHATTERED GLASS, even if it wasn't about a newspaper. It had the same elements -- ethics issues, deception, the uncovering of the truth. Good stuff!

Adam — Good call. ACE is a great movie, and finally available on DVD.

Okay, techincally The New Republic isn't a newspaper...but I think it's worth a mention. How about Shattered Glass?

What would you say about the news business today? Certainly not as colorful as back then, but is it still a fascinating profession? Is there still good movie material? Thanks for the heads up, Will.
