Sorry none of you can watch this because Sarah and I bought the only DVD copy available on the entire internet and then left it at a friend's house.

I didn't really pay attention to this so I could not tell you if this is good or not. But according to this quote on the DVD cover from New York Newsday this movie is "Good solid stuff." So take that for what it's worth.

This is what I get for blind-buying 25+ DVDs at Dollar Tree for...you guessed it, $1. Fucking snooze fest

Another one of those “not sure if it’s a good movie or bad movie” but it has a great cast.

A made for TV movie that is very much a made-for-TV update of the classic 'Network'. It covers similar themes of journalistic integrity and its potential consequences.
There is a lot of walk and talk on display. Nearly every scene is on the move. The characters are difficult to empathize with despite and are really just vehicles to discuss the issue. Could be a worthy companion piece to other similar films, though it hasn't aged particularly well.
