Film review: Mandela - Long Walk To Freedom

Based on Mandela's own autobiography, the film perfectly captures his message of love and forgiveness. Slightly too long but you can forgive that considering just how much a story they are trying to tell. Check out my full review here.

Article - Mel Gibson

The once loved actor and director Mel Gibson has gone on a downward spiral since 2006 when he harassed a female police officer while being arrested for a DUI. We thought ‘sugart*ts’ and his claim that ‘Jews’ were responsible for all the wars in the world were shocking but he has been caught out once again. This time the victim of his abuse is his ex girlfriend and baby mama, Oksana Grigorieva.



Gibson is still finalising the divorce with his ex-wife of over 20 years whom he cheated on to be with Oksana but he seem he couldn’t stay faithful to her either and they have now split following rumours he had an affair with a porn star.

And this is all from a man who is a ‘devout catholic’ and directed the record breaking ‘The Passion of Christ’!

Now Gibson and Oksana are going through a bitter custody battle for their 9 month old daughter, Lucia. Oksana is revealing evidence that shows why Gibson is not fit to be around his daughter let alone look after her and Gibson’s action are infuriating just about everyone in Hollywood!

Radaronline claim to have heard a message that Gibson left Oksana and report that they heard him say abusive and racist comments such as:

“You’re an embarrassment to me. You look like a f*cking pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n*ggers, it will be your fault.”

“How dare you act like such a b*tch when I have been so f*cking nice.”

“I am going to come and burn the f*cking house down… but you will blow me first.”

“Look what every part of you is… f*cking fake… f*cking fake. You are the most synthetic person… who the f*ck are you?”

“This is my last message. I might be the father. Well, f*ck you. You psycho c***. Because I don’t care.”

While no other site has heard or seen this evidence, most people are accepting that this could easily be real recordings of Gibson on yet another insulting verbal attack. The star’s outburst has infuriated civil rights leader Rev Jesse Jackson, who has asked for Gibson to get ‘help’.

He told RadarOnline that this leak “demonstrates once again that we are far from a society that is beyond race and racism. His penchants for anti-Semitic and racist diatribes reveal the actor’s fundamental character flaw.”

There are also rumours that he hit Oksana, knocking out two of her teeth and giving her a concussion. While we are yet to find out what it actually true I think it’s fair to say that Mel Gibson’s career is definitely over because I doubt anyone in Hollywood will want to be associated with this man!

Glenn Selig, founder of PR firm The Publicity Agency, said:

“The public can overlook a lot, but this is not something they will tolerate or stomach. This will spell the end for Mel Gibson. If true, not only will he be rejected by the public but by Hollywood.”

A studio boss has said: “Last time he just managed to claw back his career. This time he will be a pariah. He offended not only women but a huge swathe of the public. Any Hollywood exec will fear a backlash if they use him.”
