The 65th
EMMY NOMINATIONS

Stiff competition this year for Comedy and Drama series. After a phenomenal year in Television, here we have the complete list of nominees. House of Cards is causing the most buzz for being a Netflix Original Series. HBO of course comes home with the most nominations (12), as expected with critically acclaimed shows such as Game of Thrones and Girls. 

The comedy section, especially best lead actress going to be the most interesting race. Vets such as Poehler, Fey, Louis-Dreyfus, will TV's newest Golden Girl, Dunham finally take home the Emmy?

Start It Up: The Newsroom

The Newsroom Season 2 premiered last night, and for those of you not watching... 
START IT UP

I am currently sailing through Season 1 of HBO's drama following a Primetime news show.




Written by the legendary Aaron Sorkin, it follows a Primetime news anchor (played by Jeff Daniels) and his team of producers/reporters retelling monumental media history moments (starting in 2010). Although I am behind with the newest episodes, I expect to catch up very fast because the show is doing something most hour-long dramas (*cough True Blood cough*) aren't doing.... keeping me engaged. Whether it's with it's soap opera love triangles (and we all know I eat that shit up) or it's increasing sexual tension between Talent/ Executive Producer. The show balances emotional drama with reality drama perfectly. If you are wondering why this show hasn't been on your radar for it's first season it may have to do with the mix reviews from critics and HBO's teetering on to keep the show or not. I for one and rejoicing it's still on, hopefully Season 2 will pick up some steam.


If you are looking for a new show with brilliant writing and a phenomenal cast.... I don't know why you are still reading this... go watch it. NOW


Love,
Miss Cinevision

Trailer Park

Here are some recently released trailers

The Lifeguard

Nice to see Kristen Bell trying on a more serious role. This dramedy looks like it's got some opportunity to see Bell's acting chops....as well as some sexy cougar action...nice.

Lovelace

The trailer finally arrived, after all it's Sundance buzz you will be hearing a lot about this movie. Although I would prefer not to watch Amanda Seyfriend for 2 some hours.... the strength in male casting is hard to pass up. Yes ladies, there is the return of Adam Brody.

Afternoon Delight

All star comedic cast following a woman's midlife crisis. She welcomes a young stripper in her home to try and save her. Packed with jokes and lead by the incredible Kathryn Hahn.

Delivery Man

An American remake to a Candian-French film following a man who donated his sperm to a sperm bank. He later finds out that he fathered 500 children and is in the midst of multiple law suits from his "children" to find out their father's identity. This dramedy has been said to be Vince Vaughn's comeback....still holdin out for you big guy.


Me Trying to Catch Up on Critically Acclaimed Movies: The Sessions aka "The Serious 40 Year Old Virgin"

Even though I said I was back....this time I actually am broadcasting live from New York City.

My summer adventures have unfortunately left a huge dent in my actual viewing of current films but here I am, getting back on track.

My roommate recently let me borrow "The Sessions" starring John Hawkes and Helen Hunt. The film follows a 40 something man with Polio leaving from the neck up mobile. He basically realizes he doesn't want to be a virgin his whole life (so basically there's nothing wrong with him mentally) and he hires a sex surrogate (Hunt) to help him do the deed. 

It's the touching...not funny... kinda fucked up version of "The 40 Year Old Virgin". 

Overall, the film was great. Hawkes is unrecognizable as Mark. His portrayal of a severely disabled man with a certain charm that woos women. This is unlike any other story media has portrayed, which for a human rights perspective, is inspiring. Hunt takes on a daring role as a sex surrogate and handles it with grace and professionalism that shines throughout the film. The small cast of dedicated actors really catapulted this story into an entertaining, well made movie. 

My conclusion? Definitely worth a rental.

Christmas Come Early: Oscars 2013

Now that we all have our Post Oscars buzz, let's take a step back and evaluate my favorite evening of the year.

The Host

Well, Seth MacFarlane, I had my reservations about you....but you were pretty entertaining, I must say. The choice in host definitely appealed to the younger audience, but overall he did what he does best, make inappropriate jokes and make fun of himself. Seth was entertaining enough, but was he the best choice? Hell no. Bring me some Fey and Poehler. 


The Music

Ohhhhh hell yeah....the Oscars were breathed a little life into them this year by making it a themed night. (80s theme next year?????) Although I wish I could have just watched Les Mis perform every song (mainly Aaron Tveit's), it was quite possibly my dreams all coming true at one time to see these movie musicals perform live. Hudson and Zeta-Jones were incredible, and Les Mis may or may not have induced a panic attack. Then after I thought my inner musical freak couldn't handle anymore, Barbra comes on. I was dead.....then they brought in Adele, and I died again. Yay for people who know how to sing!


So Perfect.

THE WINNERS

Oh Ben Affleck, the whole world is teary eyed over this win, you have come so far my child. Argo winning best picture was a huge shocker, after being snubbed in pretty much every other category. Jennifer Lawrence must be doing something right (and by that I mean being fucking awesome). She took home best actress, but not without making a hilarious fall up the stairs first. Anne Hathaway....obvi I can't say I was upset she won, she was phenomenal.....but there's something about her that can really irritate a person....maybe it's the hair? Daniel Day Lewis took home the golden statue for Lincoln (shocker). What was surprising was his hilarious speech, and then the loving tribute to his wife, swoon, this old guy is a total fox. Finally, Christoph Waltz.... I love you and am so happy he won, he is too adorable and talented.
