February 9th
1. Jurassic Park [1993] imdb DVD
Winner: Best Effects, Sound Effects Editing
Winner: Best Effects, Visual Editing
Winner: Best Sound

- Haven't seen this in quite a while. The effects still hold up today. I remember seeing this in the theater and it was quite the event.

February 12th
2. Batman Begins [2005] imdb Blu-Ray
Nominee: Best Achievement in Cinematography
- THIS is how a re-boot of a franchise film should be. Christopher Nolan and David Goyer did everything perfectly to appeal to old and new Batman fans alike.

3. On the Waterfront [1954] new! imdb HDNet Movies
Winner: Best Actor in a Leading Role - Marlon Brando
Winner: Best Actress in a Supporting Role - Eva Marie Saint
Winner: Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Black-and-White

Winner: Best Picture
Winner: Best Writing, Story and Screenplay

Nominee: Best Actor in a Supporting Role
Nominee: Best Actor in a Supporting Role - Lee J. Cobb
Nominee: Best Actor in a Supporting Role - Rod Steiger
Nominee: Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture

- My first time viewing. Don't get me wrong, this is a great movie, but it didn't blow me away. I think I was expecting a little more than I got. Amazing individual performances by, well, all the people listed above.

4. Up [2009] new! imdb Blu-Ray
Nominee: Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Score
Nominee: Best Achievement in Sound Editing
Nominee: Best Animated Feature Film of the Year
Nominee: Best Motion Picture of the Year
Nominee: Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen

- Another movie for which my expectations were too high. I thought the movie was good, but not great. I thought the ONE talking dog, Doug, was interesting, but the whole army of talking dogs did not work for me.

February 13th
5. Braveheart [1995] imdb Blu-Ray
Winner: Best Cinematography
Winner: Best Director
Winner: Best Effects, Sound Effects Editing
Winner: Best Makeup
Winner: Best Picture

Nominee: Best Costume Design
Nominee: Best Film Editing
Nominee: Best Music, Original Dramatic Score
Nominee: Best Sound
Nominee: Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen

- This is the type of movie that is really fantastic, but I only want to watch it once every 5 years or so.

6. Up [2009] Director's commentary new! imdb Blu-Ray
See #4 for nominations.
- Great commentary by the director and co-director. A lot of amazing information about all aspects of the making of the movie.

February 14th
7. Amélie [2001] imdb DVD
Nominee: Best Art Direction-Set Decoration
Nominee: Best Cinematography
Nominee: Best Foreign Language Film
Nominee: Best Sound
Nominee: Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen

- My third viewing of Amélie and it blows me away every time I watch it. The cinematography is absolutely stunning and some of the subtle and not so subtle visualizations they had in the movie made really added that *pop* to the movie that kept you in the movie from start to finish.

February 15th
8. Braveheart [1995] Director's commentary imdb DVD
See #5 for nominations/wins.
- Mel Mel Mel. I really wish someone would have briefed him on how to do a commentary. There was SO much about this movie he could have talked about and managed about 20 minutes total of discussion the whole commentary.

February 16th
9. Amélie [2001] Director's commentary imdb DVD
See #7 for nominations.
- Jean-Pierre Jeunet commentaries are always entertaining.

February 18th
10. Road House [1989] imdb DVD
Wild Card tribute to Patrick Swayze
- I'm not going to claim that Road House is the best movie of all time, but if someone said that it was their favorite movie, I couldn't disagree. There is such a great mix of cheeseball moments and 80's nonsense, but an interesting story behind it. I just looked at the tagline for the movie and it was "The dancing's over. Now it gets dirty." haha.

11. The Sixth Sense [1999] imdb DVD
Nominee: Best Actor in a Supporting Role - Haley Joel Osment
Nominee: Best Actress in a Supporting Role - Toni Collette
Nominee: Best Director
Nominee: Best Editing
Nominee: Best Picture
Nominee: Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen

- One of my favorites. Too bad it's one that is only really worth watching once every 5 years or so.

February 19th
12. Little Miss Sunshine [2006] Directors' and writer commentary imdb DVD
Winner: Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role - Alan Arkin
Winner: Best Writing, Original Screenplay

Nominee: Best Motion Picture of the Year
Nominee: Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role


February 19th
13. Little Miss Sunshine [2006] Directors' commentary imdb DVD
See #5 for nominations/wins.
- I'm a monster fan of commentaries, I'm sure I've listenened to over 300-400 of them, but this one I can't quite figure out why they did. A lot of overlap with the same people as the one with the writer. Still worthwhile, I'm just not sure why they recorded it. I'm guessing this was recorded first.

February 24th
14. The Usual Suspects [1995] Director/Writer Commentary imdb DVD
Winner: Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role - Kevin Spacey
Winner: Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen


February 25th
15. The Usual Suspects [1995] Composer/Editor Commentary imdb DVD
See #14 for wins.
- Probably one of the more unique commentaries because John Ottman was the music editor AND the film editor. Very interesting mix.

February 26th
16. The Lost World: Jurassic Park [1997] new! imdb DVD
Nominee: Best Effects, Visual Effects
- Even though it was pretty over the top, I was with it until one of the most cheeseball moments I've seen in a movie in a long time. The gymnastic flip kick of the dinosaur by the daughter. Oh god, please, completely took me out of the movie.

February 27th
17. To Catch a Thief [1955] new! imdb HDNet Movies
Winner: Best Cinematography, Color
Nominee: Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Color
Nominee: Best Costume Design, Color

- I am a big Hitchcock fan, and this is a good Hitchcock movie, but not one of the great ones. I was shocked by how much location filming there was. I doubt there was that much location shooting in any Hitchcock movie I have seen before. Yes, I know it was mostly for the coverage shots, but some of the helicopter chase scenes I was not used to for Hitchcock The overdubs by the restaurant owner were pretty painful sometimes.

20. Ghostbusters [1984] Commentary imdb DVD
Nominee: Best Effects, Visual Effects
Nominee: Best Music, Original Song


March 1st

Ok, so final thoughts... I met all except for 1 goal:
GOALS:
  1. Beat previous years' totals:
  2. FINALLY see Gone With The Wind and Casblanca, as well as many other classics.
  3. Go through my unwatched movies and watch as many of those as possible that count... starting with my Blu-ray Discs.
  4. Watch as many Best Picture winners as possible. There SO many that I have never seen. I plan to start with Wings, the very first Best Picture winner.
  5. Watch as many movies as I can. This is obviously a given, but I felt I should include it.
That would be #3. I hardly watched any of my own movies. Because of this, I am proud to say that, with the exception on Aladdin and some of the Pixar shorts, all were first time viewings.

This was the best Oscar challenge for me. I didn't watch as many movies as a lot of you guys, and it wasn't hard to be my previous totals, but I am ecstatic that I got to many of the films on my Wish List. I only did the Checklist as an after thought just to see what kind of variety I had in my list.

The beauty is... I still have a bunch of movies on my DVR that I never got to and I plan to watch those throughout the next few months.


The End
