Did Clint Eastwood and Warner Bros. get it Right?


Invictus from Warner Bros.


No Doubt, Invictus, presented by Warner Bros. Pictures and Produced/Directed by Clint Eastwood is a must watch movie, however Morgan Freeman (playing Nelson Mandela) in the movie, doesn't actually look like Nelson Mandela!

There could have been other Actors or definitely someone out there who must have looked more like Nelson Mandela.

Anyway, the movie is going to be showing in Cinemas this Friday, 11th December 2009. So Watch out All. If you miss it, you miss Out!

Speaking of Branding, the Branding and Sweepstakes Warner Bros. Pictures did for this movie is massive. Think of Invictus Watches and Jerseys. Nothing like it before!

AOL and TimeWarner Split.



Media Giants AOL and Time Warner Corporation which merged in 2001 (Merger was called "Deal of the 21st Century") will be finally seperating in January.

Their Merger back then in the words of Rory Cellan-Jones:
