Ryan Reynolds is a great actor, his slapstick comments make even a serious movie humorous. Denzel Washington has the midas touch - anything he is in is worth watching!
This is a great story that ended poorly. The writers appear to have given in to pressure from the studio instead of taking the time to write a good, exciting ending.
This release compiles every episode from the debut season of Aaron Sorkin's HBO drama The Newsroom, starring Jeff Daniels as an ego-centric cable news host who changes the direction of his nightly program with the help of a tenacious executive producer who happens to be his ex-girlfriend.
Aaron Sorkin's Golden Globe-nominated drama set at the fictional Atlantis Cable News (ACN) flashes back to September 2011 as the second season opens, but an on-air remark by anchor Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) gets him KO'd from coverage of the 9/11 anniversary. Meanwhile, Jim (John Gallagher Jr.) volunteers to fill in for a reporter covering the Mitt Romney presidential campaign in New Hampshire; and Neal (Dev Patel) investigates the beginnings of Occupy Wall Street. But there's a ticking time bomb that threatens the reputation--and existence--of "News Night" in a controversial report about U.S. soldiers using chemical weapons in the Middle East, and the show's attack-dog lawyer, Rebecca Halliday (Marcia Gay Harden), comes down hard on the staff, especially Maggie (Allison Pill), whose integrity is questioned after a life-changing experience while on assignment in Africa. Also starring in Season 2 are Hamish Linklater as Jerry Dantana, Jim's temporary replacement; Grace Gummer as Hallie Shea, another reporter on the Romney campaign; and Constance Zimmer as Taylor Warren, a Romney spokesperson who is unhappy with the candidate's treatment by the press.
