I just watched “Good Night and Good Luck”, and while it didn’t have that atmosphere of mystery and intrigue, I was impressed wiht the way Clooney presented it

The casting was dead on, and the film satisfied my desire for **noir**

(After watching it, I wanted to use one of my Glade plug-ins to combat all the cigarette smoke and odor. 😃 )

Thanks

I saw a big chunk of _Sin City_ a few weeks back, and it’s absolutely a pastiche. But I do think it shows there’s interest in the hallmarks of the noir style.
