Moving Pictures

I need to get busy on my movie watching before the Oscars. I only have a little over 3 weeks to cram in all the nominated movies.(excluding short films and documentary short subjects.) Here's a list of 2008 movies that I've watched.

1. Be Kind Rewind. I love me some Michel Gondry.
2. Let the Right One In. If you haven't seen this, Stop what your doing and go watch.
3. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. This movie was probably my favorite movie of 2008. It was like watching a 3 hour poem. Although I thought the CGI was a little rough. And why did they use a different actor when he became a child, they should of just used some of that CGI magic.
4.Slumdog Millionaire
5.Vicki Christina Barcelona. Oh Woody you never do me wrong except for that time you made that one film. What was it called? Oh yes, Curse of the Jade Scorpion. But we all can't be perfect all of the time.
6.Pineapple Express. This movie hands down has one the funniest endings of a movie that I've ever seen.
7.The Wrestler
8.Wanted
9.Ghost Town
10.The Dark Knight
11.Indiana Jones
12.W
13.Tropic Thunder
14.Forgetting Sarah Marshall
15.WALL-E
16.Kung Fu Panda
17.Bolt
18.Eagle Vs. Shark
19.Funny Games
20.The Orphanage
21.Step Brothers
22.Foot Fist Way
23.Horton Hears a Who

so how am I going to watch all the remaining movies that are up for nomination. I still have to watch...
1.Frost/Nixson
2.Rachel Getting married.(downloading)
3.The Reader.(downloading)
4.Doubt.
5.Milk. I'm mad at myself for not seeing this already.
6.Revolutionary road.(downloading)
7.Changeling.
8.The Visitor.
9.The Duchess.
10.Australia. I don't think I can really do this film.
11.Iron Man.
12.Frozen River.
13.Bruges.
14. Gran Torino. Actually I'm not sure if this ones even up for anything.

This will be a challenge. There are however a couple other films from 2008 that aren't up for nomination that I want to see.
1. Nick and Norah's infinite Playlist.
2. Zach and Miri Make a Porno.
3. Choke.
4. Paranoid Park.
5. The Love Guru. I kid.
