Shattered Glass

Journalism. I'd love to write for a living someday.
And movies about it? I love them. And this is no exception.

Shattered Glass, the story, based on true events, of Stephen Glass (Anakin Skywalker himself, Hayden Christensen), this very young guy writing in a huge Washington DC magazine. Everything (or almost) he ever wrote was fabricated. And pretty awesome stories too, the kind people like to read.
But then it all blew up, and it made for an excellent movie (and also a book that the real Stephen Glass published about all this that I'm definitely going to read).

I love Hayden's acting (not only here, Life as a House is excellent, though I don't like his Anakin character), and my love for Garden State is making me watch every movie Peter Sarsgaard has ever been. He plays Glass' Editor Chuck Lane here, and he's awesome too.
The rest of the cast (Chloe Sevigny, Melanie Linskey, Rosario Dawson, Steve Zahn, Hank Azaria) doesn't participate much, but these two are amazing to watch.

So again, a really great movie, excellent performances from the leads (Sarsgaard was nominated for everything except the Oscars that year) and a very good supporting cast, and the story is what makes the movie. Loved it.
