The Newsroom





TV Show: The Newsroom
Year: 2012
MPAA Rating: MA
Length: 60 min
Film Genre(s): Drama.
Director(s): Various
Producer(s): Various
Writer(s): Aaron Sorkin
Players:
Jeff Bridges as Will McAvoy
Emily Mortimer as Mackenzie Machale
Sam Waterson as Charlie Skinner
Plot:  Will McAvoy is a popular nightly news anchor who returns from vacation to discover that his staff has deserted him for another show. To add insult to injury, his boss hired his ex-girlfriend as his new executive producer.  Unlike his other shows, Aaron Sorkin wanted The Newsroom to feature real life news.  The show does an amazing job placing it's characters into the middle of real news stories, like the BP oil spill, creating amazing tension and drama.
Acting: Jeff Bridges and the cast have an amazing chemistry!  I was captivated by the Will McAvoy character in the first 10 minutes.  The relationships between Will and Mackenzie, Maggie and Jim and Charlie and Will have this authenticity to them that makes their interactions fun to watch.
What to watch for: Did you like The West Wing?  How about Sports Night?  If so it is a safe bet you'll like this show.  Is it a cop-out to say watch the show?
What to watch out for:  It's on HBO.  Honestly, the worst thing to watch out for on this show is the language.
IMDB User Rating: 8.8 out of 10
The Cinema Standard Overall Score: 9
I loved Sports Night and The West Wing and I thoroughly enjoy The Newsroom.  It's like Aaron Sorkin put both of his previous shows in a blender and turned it on high.

I have thick, curly hair. I used to use a mousse or a curl gel, then I tried a new salon and

they used this. My hair looked amazing! No frizz just curls. I use it right out of the shower and then seperate my hair out into curls and leave it. It ends up in beautiful ringlets. This also have a

wonderful smell that my husband loves. I got the shampoo and conditioner but they were not worth it. Just get this if you have curly hair and need help with frizz.
