The film of the week this time is NETWORK.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074958/

I will not write too much about Network since it is very late and I have to get some sleep because I have to be up in 4. What makes Network so great is how it seems to get better with age. Satire is tough to write because even if it is sharp, and timely it can seem quite dated very soon. Even the best satire films have parts that seem dated. Network actually seemed to predict how crazy the news would become in later years. In a way the film is better these days because of how accurate it was. People like Glenn Beck, and Bill O'Reilly are creepily similar to the Howard Beale character in Network. I'm afraid I must sleep now. I must apologize for this brief one, but I promise I will write more next time. If you want to see one of the best satires ever, then see Network.
