    Great ensemble comedy-drama about a New York Daily tabloid newspaper with Michael Keaton as an editor who has a few hours to get the scoop on a murder and stop cost-conscious managing editor Glenn Close from printing a sensationalistic cover that implies two innocent youngsters are guilty.

    Lots of big name stars... some not even listed here such as Jason Alexander from Seinfeld. Even with all this brilliant acting power in one movie, they could not salvage the lame writing and stupid plot.

    another one i forgot to initially add to my favorites. performances are amazing. fast-paced, ensemble dramas are not made like this anymore. ron howard directed this amazingly -- just look at his sense of rhythm between the scenes. glenn close and michael keaton put in extremely layered characters and their surrounding co-stars are all top-notch. "a bullet came through the wall..." it reminds me of "his girl friday". great movie. very underrated.
