Morgan Freeman
In 1980 Morgan Freeman was in Brubaker with
Robert Redford, but it wasn't until 1989 and a starring role
in Driving Miss Daisy that Morgan Freeman really entered the
A-list of Hollywood and we all really began to see the emormous
talent of this great actor. He was very deservedly nominated
for an Oscar for best actor for his role in Driving Miss Daisy.
Immediately before Driving Miss Daisy he had played Sergeant
Major John Rawlins in Glory and in 1991 Morgan Freeman starred
with Kevin Costner in Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves. After
Robin Hood came my favourite Morgan Freeman film, Unforgiven
where he co-starred with Clint Eastwood who also directed.
But many would argue with my choice of favourite because in
1994 Morgan Freeman made the great classic The Shawshank Redemption.
Since we have had Seven, Outbreak, Chain Reaction, Steven
Spielberg's Amistad, a truly great film that makes me angry
and sad, ashamed and tearful... Deep Impact... Morgan Freeman
doesn't stop working! The list goes on and on and every film
is worth mentioning... The man is a colossus! But I have to
mention Million Dollar Baby and great entertainment film,
Bruce Almighty and The Contract... If I was to mention every
Morgan Freeman film I'd have to write a book. But a film that deserves special mention is
Invictus where Morgan brilliantly portrays Nelson Mandela.
The film is superbly directed, or should I say crafted, by
Clint Eastwood and in my opinion it it a genuine masterpice.

Raw Nerve
The novel they considered too controversial!
The black Governor of Georgia, Janice Mathias, is the leading contender in the race for the White House! The Ku Klux Klan plot an assination and much, much worse!
Gideon is the man who makes the difference when he tears the dark veil from the face of white supremacy!
The novel by Tim Rees, Raw Nerve, is now available on Kindle.
Recommended reading for everyone who loves a great thriller!
For a little over $5, which is £3 something, Raw Nerve is a serious page turner! |

The Hollywood Movie History
The greats of the silent movie period included
Rudolf Valentino, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton,
Laurel & Hardy and a whole host of stars whose talents live
on in the many characters they portrayed. Jean Harlow is perhaps
the most successful of the stars who began their career in the
silent era and whose star continued in ascendancy into the talkies.
The western film genre has been the birth place for many great
film stars, not least of which is the Great John Wayne. Blockbuster
movies dominated the 80's and 90's with Silvester Stallone,
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis competing for the title
greatest action hero of them all... and then Matt Damon brought
Ludlum's character Jason Bourne to life all too vividly and
a whole new action hero was born.
And, although great women's roles are still all to rare, Vivien
Leigh's Scarlet O'Hara in Gone With The Wind, Marilyn Monroe's
Sugar Kane in Some Like It Hot, Grace Kelly as Tracy Lord in
High Society, Michelle Pfeifer in the Baker Boys and Julie Roberts
in Erin Brockovich are just a few great and memorable perfomances
I have experience by women in the movies...
