3 Movies You Can Never Get Tired With

They don’t make movies like the used to, right? Today’s cinematography manages to impress us more in terms of incredible special effects and less with a well-developed script. How many movies made in the last couple of years could be included in this list of 100 best movies of all time according to TenMania? Probably not that many. Be that as it may, but today we are going to focus on those breathtaking movies that most of us have probably seen more than once. And the funny thing is that we could watch them over and over again and still enjoy them with the same passion.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

The year was 1947. Andy Dufresne, a young banker, is sentenced to life imprisonment for killing his wife and her lover, though Andy said he was innocent. In prison, Andy meets Red, a black man imprisoned for 20 years. Andy will devises an ingenious plan to escape prison and punish the tyrannical director of the prison.

Tim Robbins makes the role of the silent thinker “killer”. In prison, he finds a new friend, Morgan Freeman, an “old wolf” who seems to know everything, but still has much to learn.

Besides the merit of being educational and full of parables, the film manages to be spectacular. Prison gets to be presented as some place with good people and bad, a place you get used to, becoming home for some of the inmates.

Forrest Gump (1994)

1994, a good year for cinematography.

“Life is like a box of chocolates … you never know what you’re gonna get”.

The story begins with a feather falling to the feet of Forrest. Forrest takes it and puts it in his bag. Seated on a bench waiting for the bus, Forrest, throughout the film, tells his life is like feathers in the wind.

Forrest Gump is one of those film productions that have become a phenomenon. In this movie, Tom Hanks makes an exceptional role as Forrest, an ordinary man whose simple innocence gets to embody an entire generation. Awarded six Oscars, including the award for Best Film, Best Director (Robert Zemeckis) and Best Actor in a Leading Role (Tom Hanks), Forrest Gump is a title you do not want to it miss.

Gladiator (2000)

Director Ridley Scott returns to the cinema audience the glorious battles from Roman times in a sweeping story of courage and revenge. The great Roman general Maximus (Russell Crowe) once again led the legions to victory on the battlefield. Once the war ended, Maximus thought about returning home to his wife and son. However, the dying Emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) still has a task for him: to pass on his power.

Jealous of Maximus, the heir to the throne, Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) order his execution and that of his family. Barely escaping from death, Maximus becomes a slave and he is trained as a gladiator in the arena. Now he is back in Rome with the intention to avenge the murder of his wife and son by killing the new emperor Commodus. Maximus learns that the only power greater than that of the king is the will of the people.

What other movies would you consider classic?

Teaching Yourself An Instrument Vs Having Lessons

As far as learning an instrument goes, many will initially teach themselves the basics as opposed to having lessons with a professional teacher! Of course this all depends on what instrument it is and how easy it is to teach yourself but as a general rule, you’ll pick up a number of bad habits and we would always suggest you at least have a couple of lessons with a professional teacher to get you started and ensure you’re going down the right track! With this in mind, however, we’ve teamed up with Essex based music teachers, AT Music Group, to take a look at just what the advantages of having even a short series of lessons are!

First things first, if you’re looking to learn an instrument, there’s an awful lot you can gain from having professional lessons! In the first instance, you can be confident that you’re learning with the right technique and approach! Whilst it may seem obvious…having the right technique can make playing so much easier and you’ll find yourself progressing far quicker than if you have a poor, self-taught technique! It doesn’t have to take too many lessons to pick up basis techniques and an understanding as to the rights and wrongs of your chosen instrument. It’s well worth it and you’ll be glad in the long run when you’ve picked up a perfect technique!

Secondly, having lessons will progress you quicker than teaching yourself simply because you’ve got a wealth of positive encouragement from your teacher. When you teach yourself, you’ll find yourself giving up and taking time out at the first hurdle but when you’re working with a teacher, they’re there to encourage you and reassure you that you’re doing well and progressing at a great rate! They’re there to help you improve as quickly as possible and play to the best of your ability and, again…in the long run, you’ll be glad you opted for lessons as opposed to teaching yourself!

All in all, having music lessons comes strongly recommended and you’ll certainly find that you pick up your chosen instrument far quicker and find playing so much more enjoyable!

Choosing The Right Recording Studio For Your Band To a Record In

Whether you’re recording your first demo or are the next big thing recording your debut album, one thing is for sure and that is that ensuring you choose the right recording studio for your band to record in is absolutely vital! One wrong judgement as to who best to twiddle the knobs on the mixing desk and you’ll be left not only disappointed but also with recordings which don’t do your band the justice you deserve! With that in mind, we’ve put together our own top tips for choosing the right studio and engineer to ensure that your recordings sound fantastic and help to progress your band to the next level!

First things first, always work with a studio and producer you’re familiar with! That doesn’t mean you have to know them personally but it always helps if you know of a particular studio and their engineers and producers and are confident they can do a good job! When researching the best studio to approach, always take a look at the studios and producers used by bands you love on albums you love! If a studio and producer has recorded an album you love and which sounds great, you know they’re capable of fantastic results and, so long as the band you’re referencing are in the same genre, you can be confident they’ll do a good job for you!

Having put together a short list of potential studios, get in touch with them and chat over your project! Does the producer seem keen to work on your recordings? Are they putting forwards ideas from day one as to how they envisage the final product sounding? You want to know you’re working with a producer and studio who’s sole goal is to get you sounding your very best and showing a strong interest from the start is a great indication of this!

Last but not least, and partly going back to the first point; speak to other bands you know! These may not be chart topping acts but ask around and see what their experiences with various studios have been like! As an example, we recently heard great things about Manchester based Big Tone Recordings following their recent viral mashup of Miley Cyrus and Blink 182! This, of course, isn’t all that the studio and producer Tim G does and they boast some great records to their name! It certainly is the case that word of mouth recommendations account for a lot and we certainly suggest asking round when looking for the best studio to use!

Above all, do your research and you’ll have absolutely no worries at all that you’re working with the best studio for you and that you’ll end up with nothing short of an amazing recording at the end of it!

The Leading Turkish Film Makers Bringing Art House Movies On Global Canvas

In last two decades or so, a new breed of filmmakers in Turkey has been making waves with their idiosyncratic movie making styles. Their efforts have resulted in Turkish art house cinema getting recognition and applaud in global scenario. Owing to political and economic upheavals, Turkish movie industry remained in a stalemate condition in the 1980s and 1990s. This was after the end of famous Ye?ilçam Period. The rejuvenation of Turkish film industry took place in the late 1990s and later the movies produced in the country began to be categorized in two sections- art house films and mainstream commercial films.

The pioneers of art house cinema in Turkey are new age directors like Ye?im Ustao?lu, Semih Kaplano?lu, Dervi? Zaim, Nuri Bilge Ceylan etc. With their contribution Turkish art house cinema has consolidated its position in global arena. Their movies are known for starring lesser known actors and minimalistic effects and touch of realism. These new art house movies are also known for restrained use of dialogues. A majority of such flicks are based on detachment from society, feeling of displacement and longing for the past etc.

Nuri Bilge Ceylan

Ceylan is rated as Turkish cinema’s most accomplished director with wider recognition in global movie scene. Starting from his debut film Cocoon (1995), most of his creations have been shown n reputed international film festivals. His two films, ‘Distant’ and ‘Once Upon a Time in Anatolia’ won the coveted Grand Prix award at Cannes Film Festival. Also in Cannes he won awards for Best Director for his acclaimed film ‘Three Monkeys’. He also produces and writes his own films, a commendable feat.

Zeki Demirkubuz

Zeki Demirkubuz is also considered as one of the pioneers of Turkey’s new art house films. Unlike Ceylan,his films have won accolades in Turkish movie industry. He shot into prominence with his the movie ‘Innocence’ in 1997 which was shown in a number of film festivals in Turkey and outside. Two subsequent films, named ‘Confession’ and ‘Fate’ were also shown in Cannes. He produces the films he directs too. His personal life and its turmoil get reflected in most of his films. Critics often point out the influence of Dostoyevsky in his moviemaking style.

Yesim Ustaoglu

Yesim Ustaoglu stands tall as the leading woman director among the list of new era art house movie makers in Turkey. With ‘Journey to the Sun’ she made her position felt in Turkish and global movie scene, way back in the 1990s. However, she rose to prominence with Pandora’s Box, which was her fourth film. Released in 2008, it fetched the best actress award in San Sebastian Film Festival. This film also made her famous like never before. Her films mostly deal with isolation, communication anomalies and broken family relations.

Dervis Zaim

Dervis Zaim a filmmaker with Cypriot-Turkish roots shot to fame with his debut film ‘Somersault in a Coffin’ in 1997. Most of his films deal with political subjects. Films like ‘Shadows and Faces’ and ‘Mud’ brought him further recognition. Unlike some of his contemporaries in Turkish art house movie scene, music remains a core ingredient in all his movies. He does not reset to minimalistic dialogues either. Overall, he does not believe that in order to be stand different from commercial mainstream movies, you need to cut down on dialogues and use of music.

Reha Erdem

A relatively late entrant to the art house movie industry in Turkey, Reha Erdem caught attention of critics and industry brethrens. His film ‘Times and Winds’ was shown in Toronto International Film Festival in 2006. His protagonists like those in films like ‘Kosmos’ are often misunderstood characters who become renegades to the social setup.

The Top 5 English Rock Bands of All Time

The rock and roll story may have begun in America, but the tale cannot be fully told without a few major chapters written by British bands.

The aftershocks of the British Invasion of the mid-’60s are still felt today, in terms of musical influence and in sales. Of the scores of bands that have arrived since, here are the five that made the biggest splash across the pond.

5. The Sex Pistols

The punk pioneers burst on to the scene in 1975 with a bold look and even bolder lyrics — using stolen instruments no less. Three years later, they were done.

But no one can say they didn’t get the most out of their raw — in every sense of the word — talent. Despite releasing only one album as a group, the Sex Pistols kicked the punk and new wave movements into high gear. By aggressively doing things their own way, they lit the fuse that exploded into the independent music movement.

Influential Track: “God Save the Queen”

4. Pink Floyd

A wildly creative band, Pink Floyd combined elements of album rock, prog rock, art rock, and psychedelia into a genre best described as “avant-garde.” All of this came from a band whose sound was rooted in the blues when they formed in 1965.

Pink Floyd perfected the concept album. Its high point was “Dark Side of the Moon,” a 1973 release that remained on the U.S. Billboard charts for a record 736 weeks. To date, the band has sold almost 76 million albums in the United States alone.

The band’s sound continues to influence modern music genres, including metal and electronica.

Influential track: “Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2″

3. Led Zeppelin

In 1968, Jimmy Page, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, and Robert Plant took the blues and turned up the volume. The result was heavy metal, inspiring countless hard-rock bands in their wake.

Zeppelin rarely gave interviews, instead focusing their energy on albums and concerts. In doing so, the band also created the album rock and arena rock styles. The band may not have been a critical favorite in its time, but it was beloved by fans; to date Zeppelin has sold nearly 112 million albums in the U.S.

Influential Track: “Stairway to Heaven”

2. The Rolling Stones

Many words can be used to describe this band; near the top of the list would have to be “longevity.” Through lineup changes and adaptation of musical styles, the World’s Greatest Rock & Roll Band is still thriving and influencing artists more than half a century after its formation.

Essentially a blues-based band, the Stones are known for their experimentation, incorporating country, psychedelic, and even dance music styles into their sound, which has sold nearly 67 million albums in the U.S. They remain a hugely popular live act.

Influential Track: “Satisfaction”

1. The Beatles

No list of top British bands is complete without the Fab Four, the band that has launched millions of rock and roll dreams since its formation in 1957.

Psychedelic rock, folk rock, blues, garage rock, pop: no matter the style, The Beatles mastered them all. Not only do they top the list for their worldwide musical influence, they are also the biggest commercial success, with 177 million albums sold to date in the U.S. alone.

Influential Track: “Hey Jude”

Mike Doyle Starring in “The Last Word:” a Paranormal Thriller

The latest news to come out of Hollywood reports that “Jersey Boy” star, Mike Doyle, has been cast for the lead role in the upcoming film, “The Last Word.” This paranormal thriller is said to be based on true events and will lead audiences on a set of unique and tragic circumstances. Director Simon Rumley, known for his production of “Red, White and Blue,” made the announcement. Producers Peter Facinelli, Erin Gores, Rob DeFranco, and Frank Mancuso, Jr. wrapped up casting and are now set to begin production this week in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Mike Doyle

Mike Doyle is a well-known actor who just completed production of the Clint Eastwood-produced reproduction of the famed musical “Jersey Boys,” which is set to be released in 2014. He also recently played in “You’re Not You,” which co-starred Hilary Swank and Emmy Rossum. The film is currently in postproduction and set for release in the near future. However, Doyle is most remembered for his role as Ryan O’Halloran in the top TV series, “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.” He has also played in hit movies, such as the “Rabbit Hole,” where he co-starred with Nicole Kidman, and the horror flick “The Orphan Killer,” with Diane Foster and David Backhaus.

The Plot of “The Last Word”

The screenplay for “The Last Word” is written by Ben Ketai and is loosely based on actual events about a man living in Texas that was wrongly accused and eventually convicted and put to death. Before his execution, the man puts a curse on everyone involved in his setup. When members of the jury and several witnesses start dying, the curse is taken seriously. One man, who was a member of the jury, believes that his son is the next target, and sets out on a quest to prove the guilty man’s innocence in hopes of breaking the curse for good.

Cast Members

Mike Doyle will play the lead role as the father and jury member trying to prove the victim’s innocence. Erin Cummings, best known for her roles as Judith Voth in “Bitch Slap” and as Spartacus’ wife Sura in “Spartacus: War of  the Damned,” has been cast to play Doyle’s wife. In addition, playing a leading role as the District Attorney is Sean Patrick Flannery who recently finished his role as Jacob Elway in “Dexter.” Flannery has also played in numerous films, including “The Young Indian Jones Chronicles,” where he played Indian Jones; “Powder,” where he played Jeremy ‘Powder’ Reed; and the “Boondock Saints,” where he played Connor McManus.

The leading trio is expected to have great onscreen abilities that will pull the film together and keep the audience on the edge of their seats.

The .45 Pistol: Firearm of the “King of Rock & Roll™”

Although there is certainly no shortage of upcoming musicians clawing their way to the top and eager to claim the title for themselves, Elvis Aaron Presley (1935-1977) remains the undisputed “King of Rock & Roll™”. Most people remember Elvis® the entertainer, Elvis the performer, and for good reason – he could light up a stage like no one else. He crooned his way into the hearts of millions not just in America, but well beyond our national borders.

Perhaps our long-held infatuation with Elvis is a result of his unique style. Everything including his singing, dancing, clothing, manner of speaking, and hairstyle were exclusively his own. He was also a musician who pushed the limits; he boldly challenged the constraints of the industry with every lip snarl and hip gyration.

Elvis is world renowned for his iconic sideburns and velvety smooth vocals, but many of the people who knew him best say that under all the glitz and glamour, Elvis was a man with simple tastes. In many ways, he was always a southern boy at heart who loved home-style, traditional southern cooking and firearms.

Elvis and the .45 in the Military

Elvis’ time in the armed forces helped solidify his lifelong love and respect for firearms. December 20, 1957 was a black day for Elvis fans around the globe – it was the day Elvis was drafted to serve in the U.S. Army. By that time, he had already wowed audiences with many hit songs and even lit up the big screen as a budding actor in feature films like Jailhouse Rock and Love Me Tender. Fans wept bitterly at the thought of being deprived of their idol, but Elvis was determined to serve his country.

He completed his military training on September 17, 1958 and dutifully served for 18 months in the Army until he was honorably discharged from active duty in 1960, then spent 4 years in the Army Reserves. His official discharge from duty was 1964. During his days in the U.S. Army, Elvis certainly would have been familiar with the trusty Colt .45 pistol, the handgun relied on by many in the Armored Division. The .45 was designated as the official sidearm of the U.S. military in 1911 due to its unparalleled reliability and durability.

A Presidential Gift

On December 21, 1970, Elvis Presley® met with President Richard Nixon in the Oval Office. At Elvis’s written request, the President agreed to the visit. This meeting turned out to be fruitful for both of these powerful men because each walked away with a gift. Although Elvis was known to have owned many guns – at the time of his death it’s reported he had a collection of 37 handguns, several rifles, a machine gun, and .45 pistols, it was a Colt .45 pistol he selected for a very special presentation. President Nixon presented Presley with an official Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) badge and Elvis gave the President a commemorative Colt .45 pistol that he had proudly selected from his own personal collection. Clearly, Elvis must have thought very highly of the .45 in order to choose it as his offering to the Commander in Chief.

The Legacy Lives On

For all of Elvis’s fame and fortune, it seems he never really lost his desire for the simpler things in life. And for him, the .45 pistol which he admired during his stint in the U.S. Army and which was included in his firearm collection was one of those simple joys.

And although Elvis has long since “left the building”, he remains in the hearts and minds of his adoring fans in all his hip swiveling glory.

The 8 Best Outfits Spotted on Sex & The City

We know, we know. Sex & The City is the go-to show for even the most hardcore fashionista. Every single outfit spotted on the famous show would impress any fashion designer in the world, but there were a select few outfits that completely blew our minds and would not be forgotten in the years to come. If you’re wondering which outfits we’re talking about, then you’re in luck. Feast your eyes on this goldmine of the most incredible, timeless, and brilliant outfits Sex & The City (or any show, really) has ever seen:

  The famous Carrie tutu

Image source

Not only is this tutu (the entire outfit, actually) incredibly adorable, it’s a classic Sex & The City outfit. Heck, anyone who has watched the show even once could recognize this outfit. It’s because Carrie wears it in the opening credits. This incredibly fashionable outfit is proof that a grown woman can rock a tutu like nobody’s business.

  Carrie’s and Samantha’s cute nautical outfits

Image source

  Spotted in season 4, Carrie’s and Samantha’s outfits proved that nautical clothes could be classy and chic (as opposed to cheesy, as most fashionistas would like to believe). What’s even better is that each woman’s personality shines through her own outfit. The dramatic lines and colors on Carrie’s dress showcase her creative personality. Her simple yet elegant white shoes serve as a reminder of her fondness for fancy accessories. Last, but not least, there’s her hat. It sums up her fun and playful side so well. Now, let’s look at Samantha. Her outfit is far simpler than Carrie’s, but it’s just as telling. Her shirt is arranged in such a way to make her flirty personality known to all. Her white pants and red accessories put some emphasis on her class.

  Miranda’s lawyer chic dress

  Image source

How chic, professional, and sexy is this dress? It has a bit of a 50s housewife vibe going on, but it’s so modern, chic, and professional-looking that you can’t help but view Miranda as a high-powered fashion icon.

  Carrie’s wedding dress

Image source

This list wouldn’t be complete without Carrie Bradshaw’s incredibly fashionable wedding dress, blue Manolo shoes, and dramatic hair piece.  This dress is classic with a fabulous modern twist. With most wedding dresses, once you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. Carrie Bradshaw’s is definitely not one of them. Any avid Sex & The City viewer could spot and correctly identify this dress a mile away.

  Charlotte’s plaid dress

Image source

This dress is so simple, but so cute and daring at the same time. This reflects Charlotte’s personality so well. She presents herself as a proper lady with an impeccable put-together appearance, but she’s actually daring and mischievous behind closed doors. This dress sums it up perfectly.

  Carrie’s dramatic striped outfit

Image source

This season 6 ensemble is dramatic, yet low key at the same time. If there’s any timeless Sex & The City outfit, this is it.

  All four women’s personal take on office ensemble

Quite honestly, I don’t know what’s going on in this picture, but each character’s own outfit suits her so perfectly. The creative one (Carrie) is wearing some kind of a bohemian outfit that could barely pass a standard office’s dress code. The lawyer (Miranda) is looking pretty straight-laced in her usual work outfit. The classy yet slightly daring one (Charlotte) covers herself up pretty well with her cute yet safe outfit. The most outgoing one (Samantha) wants to make her presence known with a shiny, eye-catching gold ensemble. As if that wasn’t enough, she had to add a splash of bold red. If there’s any picture that sums up each character’s personality well, this is it.

  Carrie’s super colorful outfit

This super cute outfit is fun, playful, creative, professional, and casual all rolled into one. Carrie could’ve gone anywhere in this outfit and still fit in… maybe except at a wedding. The best thing about this outfit? Definitely the skirt and the fact that red jacket, the purse, and the shoes tie the entire outfit together.

  Do you have a favorite Sex and the City outfit that’s not in this list? If so, please let us know what it is (with pictures if possible)!

The Magic of Eddie Murphy: Oscars versus Razzies

Eddie Murphy is a celebrity when it comes to humor and savory comedies, gaining him a well – deserved respect in Hollywood. Some colleagues called him “a genius of comedy” and Eddie proved more than once that he can master both a silver screen role and a live stand – up show. If you missed this, it should be reminded that Murphy started his career on the comedy stage when he was a teenager of fifteen years old and at eighteen he became the youngest member of the famous show “Saturday Night Live.”

If you still associate Eddie’s name with the classic “Beverly Hills Cop” and “Dr. Dolittle” and you feel nostalgic about them, let’s see some of Eddie’s most famous comedic appearances:

1.      Trading Places (1983)

A meeting between two cinema comedy icons, Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd try to walk in each other’s shoes, switching lives and social status, in a movie that not only gained public recognition but was also nominated for an Oscar Award.

2.      Bowfinger (1999)

Eddie seems to pair up only with comedy titans when it comes to choosing his films. His duo with Steve Martin takes a sneak – peak behind the curtains of Hollywood. In a an amusing and a little strange attempt to shoot a movie, Martin’s character – a low – profile movie director – focuses his attention on Murphy’s character, a Hollywood star, all culminating in tons of laughs emerged from the most unpredictable of circumstances.

3.      The Nutty Professor (1996)

One of Murphy’s memorable roles brought the movie an Oscar award and Murphy a Saturn Award in the Best Actor category and a Blockbuster Entertainment Award too, for Favorite Actor of Comedy.

4.      Shrek (2001)

This is a good time to mention that Murphy’s talent can be appreciated not only when he personally makes an appearance on the silver screen, but when he also borrows his voice to some characters, and let’s face it, Donkey would have never been so funny without his lines uttered by Eddie.

Eddie Murphy’s career was marked with prestigious movie awards wins and nominations for his spontaneity, his flexibility in playing almost any character and his ability to bounce back even when nominated (and winning) three Razzie Awards for playing some characters in a movie that was nominated for the Oscars! If you don’t know what we are talking about, remember Norbit in 2007, where Murphy plays three different characters: Norbit, Rasputia and Mr. Wong. The movie was nominated for the Oscars in the Best Make-up Achievement category, while Murphy left home with three Razzie Awards for Worst Actor and even Worst Actor of the Decade.

But all of these are in the past. Eddie’s career is still flourishing and if you have a good Time Warner Cable deal, you will soon see him on TV, as a TV version of the classical Beverly Hills Cop is announced for this year, although there is some mystery revolving around its release date. And this is not all: Eddie Murphy was recently announced as partnering up with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito in what sounds like a sequel to the Triplets. Now isn’t that interesting?

Gorilla Glue Inc Diversifies With Advertising Of National TV

In its first big blitz of national TV advertising, Gorilla Glue Inc, which is based in Ohio, is airing commercials on the DIY, HGTV, Fox News, The History Channel, Animal Planet and more. Being in the market for more than 10 years, Gorilla Glue has won a loyal following from the DIY (do-it-yourself) crowd and it has risen to become a leading brand nationally in the super glues, polymers and duct tape. The company’s mascot has been powering the sales appearing in the print ads featuring a hairy paw grasping the company’s glue.

The VP of marketing and innovation for the Cincinnati’s company, Matt Kemme, said that it was now time for the mascot of the company to hit the airwaves. He said that the company needed to show how their products work and not just how they are tough adding that they needed that extra layer. The company was protective of its mascot and thus it was very tricky to bring the beloved character of the company into life. The gorilla stands for adhesive strength but it also makes the brand to be approachable to the consumers.

The do-it-yourselfers wish for a brand that is stronger than the Elmer’s that they associate with in their school projects for their kids. However, they do not want a brand that is as intimidating as the Liquid Nails that is used by the carpenters. Kemme said that it was not as scary when the gorilla was on the package adding that the gorilla was somebody that they wanted to bring into life so as to make him more approachable. Ad pros at Possible, a New York-based marketing services firm, were tapped for the creation of the advertising campaign and to help the gorilla adapt to the ads on the television.

Lucas Peon, the CEO at Possible, said that there were many questions that have to be answered the moment the character becomes real and will have to interact with the people. These questions include how he reacts to the people and how the people will react to him. He said that the trick was that the character was tough but friendly, he wants to do a good job, he does not have the patience for short cuts and he is a good gorilla willing to help people. For the two spots on the TV, the company hired an animatronics shop from Hollywood to build a lifelike gorilla. The gorilla suit is worn by an actor and two technicians control the facial expression of the character using hand-held remotes. The gorilla does not speak but it communicates through grunts and gestures that were edited in.

In the TV spots, struggling DIYs are attempting to fix with generic products when the gorilla shows up and offers the Gorilla Glue solutions. In one ad, a man is attempting to reattach to a brick fence a wooden gate door. The polymer glue from the company is used for the repair and an animation and voice-over quickly explains that the glue is designed such that it expands into the uneven and porous surfaces like the wood and brick thus allowing a firm stick.
