* = first time viewing
Attention: There may be minor spoilers in my comments on the films. Total Watched: 12 Total Movies: 7 Total Commentaries: 4 Total Specials: 1 Total First Time Viewings: 7 Thursday, January 22nd, 2009 1. The Godfather (1972) - [DVD Commentary* - Francis Ford Coppola] Winner: Best Picture Winner: Best Actor in a Leading Role - Marlin Brando Winner: Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay) Nominee: Best Actor in a Supporting Role - James Caan Nominee: Best Actor in a Supporting Role - Al Pacino Nominee: Best Costume Design Nominee: Best Director Nominee: Best Film Editing Nominee: Best Music, Original Dramatic Score Nominee: Best Sound Wonderful commentary. Francis Ford Coppola really tells it all and includes all of the behind the scenes stuff with the problems with the studio and how out of his element he felt at times. It's hard to believe that this absolute classic almost had its director fired. 2. Face/Off (1998) - [HD DVD Commentary* - Writers+Director] Nominee: Best Effects, Sound Effects Editing 3. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - [DVD] Winner: Best Art Direction Winner: Best Film Editing Winner: Best Sound Winner: Best Visual Effects Winner: Best Sound Effects Editing Nomination: Best Picture Nomination: Best Cinematography Nomination: Best Director Nomination: Best Original Score Saturday, January 24th, 2009 4. Face/Off (1998) - [HD DVD Commentary* - Writers] Nominee: Best Effects, Sound Effects Editing How odd. This was the full commentary of just the writers, for which they cut portions of this commentary into the other commentary. I could tell that something was up with the change in sound on the other commentary. Friday, January 30th, 2009 5. The Godfather: Part II (1974) - [Blu-Ray] Winner: Best Picture Winner: Best Actor in a Supporting Role - Robert De Niro Winner: Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay) Winner: Best Director Winner: Best Music, Original Dramatic Score Winner: Best Art Direction-Set Decoration Nominee: Best Actor in a Supporting Role - James Caan Nominee: Best Actor in a Leading Role - Al Pacino Nominee: Best Actor in a Supporting Role - Michael V. Gazzo Nominee: Best Actor in a Supporting Role - Lee Strasberg Nominee: Best Actress in a Supporting Role - Talia Shire Nominee: Best Costume Design At one time, I think I was a bigger fan of this movie that The Godfather. This is an absolutely wonderful movie, but I will definitely have to go with the original. I really wish they could have signed Marlon Brando to show up at the end. Wednesday, February 4th, 2009 6. The Godfather: Part II (1974) - [DVD Commentary* - Francis Ford Coppola] See #5 for Academy Award wins and nominees Friday, February 6th, 2009 7. Saturday Night Fever (1977)* - [HDNet Movies] Nominee: Best Actor in a Leading Role I had never seen this movie and it was good, but it was not all what I expected. I thought it was going to be more about the dancing and John Travolta's rise to the disco world. I don't know why that was ingrained in my mind. Nonetheless, the solo dance scene with Travolta was awesome. 8. Being John Malkovich (1999) - [HDNet Movies] Nominee: Best Actress in a Supporting Role Nominee: Best Director Nominee: Best Original Screenplay I've always liked this movie, it's so different and unique. The acting is superb and the script definitely makes it enthralling. Friday, February 13th, 2009 9. Slumdog Millionaire (2008)* - [Theater] Nomination: Best Achievement in Cinematography Nomination: Best Achievement in Directing Nomination: Best Achievement in Editing Nomination: Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Score Nomination: Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Song Nomination: Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Song Nomination: Best Achievement in Sound Nomination: Best Achievement in Sound Editing Nomination: Best Motion Picture of the Year Nomination: Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published Amazing movie. Amazing music. The first time in a while I have been blown away after watching a movie. Sunday, February 15th, 2009 10. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) - [DVD] Winner: Best Art Direction Winner: Best Sound Effects Editing Nomination: Best Picture Nomination: Best Sound Nomination: Best Original Score This is the Indiana Jones I enjoy watching the most. I just love the ending and getting to the grail. "You have chosen...wisely" Friday, February 20th, 2009 11. Jerry McGuire (1996) - [DVD] Winner: Best Actor in a Supporting Role Nomination: Best Picture Nomination: Best Actor in a Leading Role Nomination: Best Film Editing Nomination: Best Picture Nomination: Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen I haven't seen this for quite some time. It is definitely a good movie. I have never been the biggest Renee Zellweger fan, but she was just about right in her role. For some reason I had the famous line "You had me at hello" said by Tom Cruise in my mind. I didn't finish the commentary until after the challenge, but what a major disappointment. Cameron Crowe needs to do solo commentaries. Having the actors there was a clusterfuck to be honest. Sunday, February 22nd, 2009 12. The 81st Annual Academy Awards Ceremony (2009) - [ABCHD] I liked the toned down style of the awards. Loved the opening number by Hugh Jackman, very well done. No one got cut off big :up:. Really only cared about Heath Ledger winning Best Supporting Actor, so that was good. Didn't have a favorite for Best Picture. I had only seen Slumdog Millionaire and Benjamin Button. Benjamin Button was a big letdown for me and Slumdog Millionaire blew me away, so I guess I was happy that they won, but it wouldn't have broken my heart if they didn't. |

Re: The 3rd Annual Academy Award Movie Challenge ***LISTS GO HERE***
Goal: 20 first time viewings
To Date: 18 first time viewings January 22nd 1. The Godfather (1972) - * First Time Viewing Winner: Best Picture Winner: Best Actor in a Leading Role - Marlin Brando Winner: Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay) Nominee: Best Actor in a Supporting Role - James Caan Nominee: Best Actor in a Supporting Role - Al Pacino Nominee: Best Directing - Francis Ford Coppola Nominee: Best Costume Design Nominee: Best Film Editing Nominee: Best Music, Original Dramatic Score Nominee: Best Sound This Challenge is going to be the way I finally go back and watch movies I should have watched way before now. The Godfather seemed like the logical starting point. The fact I have never seen this movie has haunted me for years but I just never found time to fit in an almost 3 hour epic. Now I'm glad I did as I see the amazing piece of art that Coppola and the rest put together. January 23rd 2. The Godfather Part II (1974) - * First Time Viewing Winner: Best Picture Winner: Best Actor In A Supporting Role - Robert De Niro Winner: Best Directing - Francis Ford Coppola Winner: Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay) Winner: Best Music, Original Dramatic Score Winner: Best Art Direction Nominee: Best Actor - Al Pacino Nominee: Best Actor In A Supporting Role - Michael V. Gazzo Nominee: Best Actor In A Supporting Role - Lee Strasberg Nominee: Best Actress In A Supporting Role - Talia Shire Nominee: Best Costume Design Having 3 of the 5 Supporting actor nominations and 5 of the 20 total acting nominations coming from 1 movie should show how much the academy liked this movie. I thought it wasn't quite as intriguing as the first but was still an amazing piece of cinema. January 24th 3. The Godfather Part III (1990) - * First Time Viewing Nominee: Best Picture Nominee: Best Actor In A Supporting Role - Andy Garcia Nominee: Best Directing - Francis For Coppola Nominee: Best Art Direction Nominee: Best Cinematography Nominee: Best Film Editing Nominee: Best Original Song - "Promise Me You Will Remember" Finishing the Godfather trilogy today. The movie was the worst of the 3 but still a good movie. I don't think it would have got all the nominations if it didn't have the name "Godfather" in the title January 25th 4. Trainspotting (1996) - * First Time Viewing Nominee: Best Adapted Screenplay January 31st 5. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - * First Time Viewing Winner: Best Art Direction Winner: Best Film Editing Winner: Best Sound Winner: Best Visual Effects Winner: Special Achievement Award (Sound Editing) Nominee: Best Picture Nominee: Best Directing Nominee: Best Cinematography Nominee: Best Original Score Finished a classic series last weekend and starting another this weekend. Another series of films that I missed due to my age that I am ashamed of. Great, great movie that really aged well; February 1st 6. Indiana Jones and The Temple Of Doom (1984) - * First Time Viewing Winner: Best Visual Effects Nominee: Best Original Score Good film. I still wonder how these first 2 Indiana Jones films got a PG rating. Even with no PG-13 I would think they would lead to an R rather then a PG but I guess that's an example of the MPAA's messed up system. February 2nd 7. Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (1989) - * First Time Viewing Winner: Best Sound Effects Editing Nominee: Best Original Score Nominee: Best Sound February 5th 8. In Bruges (2009) - * First Time Viewing Nominee: Best Original Screenplay Very good movie, very dark comedy but it is Colin Ferrell's best performance in years. February 8th 9. Into The Wild (2008) - * First Time Viewing Nominee: Best Editing Nominee: Best Supporting Actor - Hal Holbrook Great performances lead this movie. Too bad I'm falling behind on my already conservative goal for this challenge :(. February 10th 10. TRON (1982) - * First Time Viewing Nominee: Best Costume Design (Should have won) Nominee: Best Sound February 11th 11. WarGames (1984) - * First Time Viewing Nominee: Best Cinematography Nominee: Best Sound Nominee: Best Original Screenplay 12. Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2009) - * First Time Viewing Nominee: Best Supporting Actress - Penelope Cruz February 13th 13. The Usual Suspects (1995) - * First Time Viewing Winner: Best Supporting Actor - Kevin Spacey Winner: Best Original Screenplay February 17th 14. Changeling (2009) - * First Time Viewing Nominee: Best Art Direction Nominee: Best Cinematography Nominee: Best Lead Actress - Angelina Jolie February 18th 15. A Few Good Men (1993) - * First Time Viewing Nominee: Best Picture Nominee: Best Supporting Actor - Jack Nicholson Nominee: Best Film Editing Nominee: Best Sound February 20th 16. Platoon (1987) - * First Time Viewing Winner: Best Picture Winner: Best Director - Oliver Stone Winner: Best Film Editing Winner: Best Sound Nominee: Best Actor In A Supporting Role - Tom Berenguer Nominee: Best Actor In A Supporting Role - Willem Dafoe Nominee: Best Cinematography Nominee: Best Original Screenplay February 21st 17.
