Vegas (2012)

description

Mad Men, Magic City and The Playboy have landmarked the "fashion" for television series depicting midst of the 20th century in some romanticized and embellished way which is not surprising (it's hard to believe that series showcasing the real 50-60th life could gain some success). Vegas looks exactly like next one in row of abovementioned TV shows, telling a story about a very typical Sheriff, Ralph Lamb, confronting the evil personalized in a typical Italian mobster Vincent Savino. The character of Sheriff Ralph Lamb was copied from real life person, a Sheriff of Clark County whose name was Ralph Lamb, and who served in 1961"“1979. Vincent Savino impersonate crime boss Marcello Giuseppe Caifano, a real-life mobster too, a high-ranking member of the Chicago Outfit criminal organization, who moved to the city of inspiring opportunities (Las Vegas). He was made overseer of mob-controlled casinos in Las Vegas and has got a "Don" chair of Las Vegas by trading off his wife, a " supersexy blonde hottie" Darlene, to the Godfather of the Chicago Mafia. As the price was paid, Vincent Savino / Marcello Caifano was faced the necessity to take total control over the city, and Ralph Lamb was the last standing on his way.

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

Mercy

2011
Drama
One of two intense medical dramas NBC introduced in the fall of 2009, "Mercy" had all the advantages its one-named rival "Trauma" did not. First, it had talent behind the scenes. Liz Heldens from "Friday Night Lights" created the show and led the writers, proving once again that the best way to dramatize the real world is to show it realistically"”ugliness and all. Second, it had attitude and guts to stay true to its revolutionary premise, the well-informed notion "that nurses remain [not only] more generous caregivers, but that they are more intuitively apt, smarter, more committed and as technically able as their [physician] superiors, with none of the accompanying arrogance." In a winner-take-all ER smackdown, you always would go all-in with the Mercy Hospital nurses. The main character, nurse Veronica Flanagan Callahan, has just returned from a tour in Iraq, where she clearly learned more in each day than the pompous, presumptuous doctors learned in all five years of medical school. Of course, Veronica gets neither the respect nor the reward she deserves, but "Mercy" dangles the possibility of true love as just recompense for Veronica's skill and compassion. Taylor Schilling plays Veronica with exactly the right balance of toughness and vulnerability, skillfully juxtaposing her consummate skill as a nurse with her intrepid ingenuousness in matters of the heart. If only "Mercy" had survived into a second season, all the tangled threads in the story might have come to their proper denouement. If only.

Damages

2010
Drama
Intensely cerebral, narrated more or less in the style of a Latin American magic-realist novel which shows the conclusion before the story begins, "Damages" TV show strangely fulfills the immanent promise in cable television programming, appealing very strongly to what the poet Milton called "fit audience though few." "Damages" series'unmistakable style, sophistication, and subtle sizzle are spellbinding, and the writers have crafted heroes you love to love and villains you love to hate with a team of attorneys working both sides of the continental divide between good and evil. Unabashedly stealing its premise from the Bernie Madoff case, "Damages" asks and answers, "What if you were Madoff's antagonist?" Glenn Close plays Patty Hewes, the high-powered and equally high-priced attorney determined to bring down ponzi-schemer Louis Tobin, portrayed by Len Cariou. The word "perfect" appears in most critics' discussions of their performances. A New York Times reviewer aptly summarized, "It's impossible to overestimate how delicious Ms. Close is as this fiercely driven, mercurial and manipulative woman. " In a stroke of casting genius, the producers chose Lily Tomlin to quicken the character of Mrs. Tobin, long-suffering wife of the arch-villain; the audience remains in suspense about her true colors and motives, suspecting she may be "Damages'" answer to Lady Macbeth. Martin Short also stars as Tobin's family attorney.
