" He kill them wi' their love. Wi' their love fo' each other. That's how it is, every day, all over the world."
                                                          -from The Green Mile

 You know guys.. I am very much privileged to wish him a happy birthday.. Because,he was so fucking awesome. Just one movie.. One movie 'The Green Mile' is enough to show what he has.. Pure talent.. I dont know how many of you have seen the movie.. Those who have seen knows what I really meant.. It was this man, the soul of the movie.. His extraordinary acting talent played the most important role in what the movie had done..

Michael Clarke Duncan was born in December 10, 1957 in Chicago, Illianos. He got his breakthrough through the role of John Coffey (yeah, like the drink, only not spelt the same) in the movie The Green Mile for which he was nominated for an Academy Award and Golden Globe and won Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films,USA Award; Black Reels Award, Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for the same. 
In his early days he used to work for Chicago gas company and as a bodyguard for celebrities like Will Smith, Jamie Foxx etc. He played basketball and it is said that he used to give $ 5.00 for anyone  in the streets who recognize him and knows his full name.
He was a part of 96 movies as an actor, like The Green Mile, Armageddon, The Scorpion King, Daredevil, Sin City etc..  and 1 as the producer. He gave sound to the character Atlas  in the famous video game God of War II. He was also a part of the famoud TV series Two and a Half Men.
The big man died on September 3, 2012. Being unique in what he does..it was definitely a lose for movie fans.

DEC 5- PERSON OF THE DAY-WALT DISNEY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GENIUS!!


 "As long as there is imagination left in this world. Disney land will never be complete."
                                                                            -Walt Disney

He would have really meant it when when he said it.. Well.. does it look like exaggeration for you?? I don't think so.. Because,I would say a whole new era of animated movies was ignited by a small mouse with big whit gloves..

Yeah.. All his creations, especially Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck have caught the heart of almost all the people,no matter how old they are,around the globe.

   Walter Elias Disney was born on December 5th of 1901 in the Hermosa section of Chicago,Illinois. This legend, a major contributing cartoonist for the school magazine, drop out from high school where he took classes on drawing and photography and joined the army but was rejected for being under aged. Later he joined Red Cross and moved to France. 

Back from France, he worked as newspaper cartoonist and series like Alice in Cartoonland where published,which were his first ones. But none were commercial hits.

Then comes his and us favorite character Mickey Mouse. The first animated shorts featuring Mickey were Plane crazy and The Gallopn' Gaucho. BOth were silent films. Later when sound made its way to films, Steamboat Willie, a sound and music equipped short was released. With Walt dubbing for Mickey,the short goes viral.

Then comes Snowhite and the Seven Dwarfs, the first full length animated movie and bagged 3 Oscars.

During his lifetime,he won 4 honorary awards and 22 academy awards from 59 nominations(jaws dropping indeed!!!).


His famous works include, 
Cinderella
Alice in Wonderland
Treasure Island
Sleeping Beauty
Peter pan and many more(never exagerates.....literally many more)

So,I feel sorry for not mentioning all of his works here.. He has done a truck load of stuffs as Director, Writer, Producer, etc.. You could visit Wikipedia any time for more details. We,here,provide a mere outline of the great film maker and entrepreneur..

In his whole life, he has never produced a movie without a happy ending.. He always want everybody to be happy.. And he got what he needs.. He never made pictures to make money, he made money so that he could take more pictures..
Always try to be happy.. and try to make others happy..
Take care..
