If you're astute and saw the sidebar, it reads that I finally got around to seeing Broadcast News. Really good film; one of those that kind of just takes you away and puts you in the characters' lives. Anyway, this marks the fourth directorial effort I have seen from Brooks and I must say, I've enjoyed each. All great characters and simple stories inhabit his films. Ranking them, it goes as follows...
1. As Good As It Gets (****)

2. Terms of Endearment (***1/2)

3. Broadcast News (***1/2)

4. Spanglish (***1/2)

By looking at the ratings, it's clear that I thoroughly enjoy each. Very good director, and possibly an even better screenwriter.
