Liam Neeson-Great Actor Or Not? You Decide

Well Liam Neeson is certainly one of my favorite actors. He has shown over the years how flexible and adaptable he can be. From playing a light-hearted, comedy role in Love Actually to the James Bond-esque, rough and ready spy character in Taken and Taken 2. And don’t forget his Sci-Fi talents in Star Wars or Schindlers List among many other roles either.


Schindlers List is one incredible movie on so many counts. A truly moving and historic movie that should make many movie goers most popular movies of all time list…..

Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster star in Sorry, Wrong Number, an odd telephonic thriller that starts off with a bang. Stanwyck, playing a shrill invalid, is at home alone and phoning around to find her husband. Thanks to a crossed wire, she overhears a murder plot, but she can barely get anyone to pay attention to her, let alone believe her. The rest of the film is played out in telephone conversations and flashbacks as our increasingly frightened heroine tries to find her husband and unravel the murder. Stanwyck, as always, gives a terrific performance, managing to make her character both unlikeable and compelling at the same time. Lancaster, as her kept husband, is handsome, virile, and trapped all at once. The plot, expanded to a film from a tight, dark little radio play, wanders at times but gathers itself back together for a corker of an ending. --Ali Davis

Based on real events the dramatic thriller "Argo" chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis focusing on the little-known role that the CIA and Hollywood played-information that was not declassified until many years after the event.

But in the midst of the chaos six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed the Canadian and American governments ask the CIA to intervene. The CIA turns to their top "exfiltration" specialist Tony Mendez to come up with a plan to get the six Americans safely out of the country. A plan so incredible it could only happen in the movies

That Oscar-winning title song buzzes in your ears long after the movie has stopped. The attraction here is youthful spirit and a pulsating score, because the weak story is merely a conduit for the song-and-dance numbers. The plot is every young woman's daydream come true. Jennifer Beals holds down a macho job as a welder by day, but performs erotic dance numbers in a club at night. It's not a strip club, so her morality remains intact. She dates her wealthy boss (Michael Nouri) and practices hard for the day she can audition for the upscale, local dance school, even though she has no formal training. It is malarkey, of course, unless you view this as total romantic fantasy. It works because you are carried along by the sheer force of the energetic, boisterous, MTV-style imagery by director Adrian Lyne. Beals is a plus as the stubborn, pouty, somewhat eccentric young woman made all the more interesting for her driving ambition. In the end, she is aided by her Prince Charming, who arrives bearing favors. Mind you, this is not the same as a rescue, as Beals is one rather tough damsel who does just fine on her own. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Blogging Tips For Beginners

Blogging Tips For Beginners



So many people all over the world nowadays are quite interested in blogging. Bloggers blog about a variety of topics, issues and interests. If you are contemplating starting a blog then what will you blog about? I can’t really answer that for you as only you will know what is of interest to you, or what concerns you or what area of expertise you have.




Having determined your blogging niche, what blogging tips for beginners are available?




Here are just a few good blogging tips for beginners for you to consider and maybe look into a bit further.



The snippets of advice contained in this article will hopefully help you on how to become a powerful and good blogger. By following them, you will soon embark on a blogging career that you never imagined.




The first fundamental tip that you should be aware of is that you have to select an appropriate niche that is well known to you. You should also know enough about the subject to write enough about and keep the blog fresh.




Your blogging efforts and blog content therefore should be concentrated on the topic area of the blog itself. For instance, if you like political topics, you must choose a political blogging website and write sufficient content for that niche. It is no good to set up such a blog only to run out of ideas or content and then start adding posts about baking, or golfing or anything else. Having said that you can take a second road by choosing a generalized website for blogging, like this one. But again, you will need to have sufficient interest, contents and ideas to keep the blog fresh.




The second tip is to always be creative and unique. Don’t do blogs on the same topics over and over again. If you do this, you will soon lose a lot of audience because there is no diversity in your blogs. You will reap some excellent benefits if you take a controversial stand on some of the latest issues of the world. By being creative and unique in your blogs, more and more people will become interested in your blogs.




The third option is to engage in debates with fellow like-minded bloggers. Choose a popular topic and have a debate. Now, this may seem difficult especially for blog beginners. You can try this third option if you already have a grip on blogging.




It takes experience, guts, and know-how. Take your time and learn all the possible blogging tips for beginners that can help you become a good blogger. If you choose to have a debate, make sure that you research on the topic. Gather all the pertinent information so that you can get your point across. If you can defend your side well, you can expect a bigger audience to read your blogs.




These are just three simple pieces of advice that you can use in order to become a successful and powerful blogger. Think about them really hard and determine if they’re worth considering.




If you want to have a career in blogging, make sure that you follow these little snippets and visit sites such as this one to see what other information and tips are available. Expert bloggers can attest to that – go ahead and ask them yourself. Let them share with you their secrets.




Actually, the tips provided in this article are fundamental and you can use them in any endeavor that you may want to take.




In order to become a successful blogger, you have to be unique, creative, determined, and ready to take chances. So what are you waiting for? The best way to see if you can make it as a successful blogger is to actually try these blogging tips for beginners. Once you get stuck into your blog and you find you like it and you establish an audience, you will soon enjoy a successful career in blogging. Who knows, you can even make money out of it.
