Old MySpace Blogs

I don't want my blogs on MySpace anymore. Therefore, I'll post them in here. Please don't read. These are boring. But I don't want to delete them forever... just erase them from MySpace:

Napoleon Chili

So, at my work (Active Voice, LLC), we have a chili cookoff every year... All chilis are voted on different categories like Best Meat, Hottest Edible, Most Creative, etc. Well, for five plus years now, our Production department has won the category for Best Ad Campaign. That is, until this year.

With the help of a couple of close friends (Erwin & Cesar), my department (Finance) put on the winning ad campaign for our chili. It's name? Drumroll please... Napoleon Chili (it's Dynamite). We couldn't think of a better way to pay tribute to such a great movie but to make a video ad campaign based on the movie Napoleon Dynamite. We created five different video clips and have them available for viewing...

Does anyone know of a place I can store these videos? Each .wmv clip ranges from 5K to 21K - I'd love to put them on the Internet for people to watch. I've never been so proud of anything like I am of these videos. We started filming on Saturday April 16th and finally got done with edits early Thursday morning (the Chili cookoff was yesterday, April 21st). It's only about ten minutes long - but it's got its funny moments...

Anyway, let me know if you know of a place I can store these. OR, if you'd really like to see it and have room on your email account for small (and crappy) versions of the videos, I could always email it to you. Just give me your email address and I'll send it to you for your viewing pleasure...

Again, I had so much fun and am so proud of everyone who helped out with it (especially Erwin & Cesar). I've been watching the clips over and over and over again... Too addicting...

c'mon Sonics!

I would love it if the Sonics could close out the season on a winning streak - and I think they're completely capable of it. I went to the game last night and, though they lost, I thought they did a decent job against a good Mavs team. Any of y'all down on the Supes? Don't be... They've got Rashard, AD, and Danny back. Rashard was very cold to start the game - but I think it's to be expected after being out...what? seven, eight games? Don't any of you count these guys out... I agree with one writer who compares this string of losses to their bad preseason. Rashard, Ray, and Flip were all hurt and it made them look like not such a great team. Just think of this as their preseason before the playoffs. I predict that they'll at least get to the Western Conference finals! Yeah!

I must say, the game was lots of fun with the Saraspis last night. I like hanging out with them... especially Tony. I'm glad I got to see next to him. He's all growns up now... Anyway, go Sonics! More blogging later... Back to work after a short lunch...

Academy Award Picks

So... I haven't had time to review all the movies like I would have wanted. Maybe I'll still do that later... In the meantime, here are my picks to win the major categories on tomorrow night's Oscars:

Best Picture
Million Dollar Baby
...if it was up to me, I'd pick Sideways to win 'cause I thought the writing was clever. I had no idea that I'd be laughing as much (or as hardily) as I did...

Best Director
Clint Eastwood - Million Dollar Baby
...what can I say? The guy's a genius...

Actor in a Leading Role
Jamie Foxx - Ray
...there is no doubt in my mind that this guy deserves the victory in this category. If he wasn't nominated, I woulda picked Don Cheadle in Hotel Rwanda. As usual, he did an awesome job...

Actress in a Leading Role
Hilary Swank - Million Dollar Baby
...another easy choice. She's just the best...

Actor in a Supporting Role
Morgan Freeman - Million Dollar Baby
...not such an easy choice. I saw all the nominees and think they all deserve the Oscar (except Alan Alda's minor role in Aviator). Jamie Foxx won't win 'cause he'll get the award in the lead role. But, man... Thomas Haden Church and, especially, Clive Owen were great. Personally, I'd choose Clive - but I'll give it to the veteran Morgan Freeman...

Actress in a Supporting Role
Cate Blanchett - The Aviator
...another not so easy decision. Virginia Madsen was captivating in Sideways. As beautiful as she is, you really felt the chemistry between her & Paul Giamati. And Natalie Portman displayed such great range of emotion in Closer. I'm picking Cate Blanchett - but I wouldn't be suprised if Madsen won it...

Writing (Adapted Screenplay)
Sideways
...since the voters will give Best Picture to Million Dollar Baby, I'm thinking this award will go to Sideways and its great dialouge...

Writing (Original Screenplay)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
...I'd actually pick it for Best Picture if it had been nominated in that category. But it wasn't - so I'll stop whining. Without a doubt, Eternal Sunshine grabs the Oscar for original screenplay...

AND in the other minor categories (where I've actually seen the movies):

Animated Feature Film: The Incredibles
Art Direction: The Aviator
Cinematography: The Aviator
Costume Design: The Aviator
Film Editing: Million Dollar Baby
Makeup: Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
Music (Score): Finding Neverland
Music (Song): The Polar Express
Sound Mixing: The Aviator
Sound Editing: Spider-Man 2
Visual Effects: Spider-Man 2

If you read this before Oscar time, I hope you'll post your choices for any or all of the categories above. Happy Oscar Watching!

The Aviator

So here’s the movie with eleven Academy Award nominations – the most of any film. With those numbers, you’d think “The Aviator” stands a chance of winning a ton of Oscars. Unfortunately, I don’t think that'll be the case. From Fandango.com…

“The Aviator chronicles the early years of billionaire Howard Hughes. The film looks at his career as a director and his passion for flight while the aviation industry was in its infancy. During this time, Hughes was also known as a playboy, romancing some of the most prominent women in Hollywood, including Jean Harlow, Ava Gardner and Katharine Hepburn.”

11 Academy Award Nominations
Best Picture
Best Actor: Leonardo DiCaprio
Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Alan Alda
Best Actress in a Supporting Role: Cate Blanchett
Best Director
Best Writing (Original Screenplay)
Best Art Direction
Best Cinematography
Best Costume Design
Best Film Editing
Best Sound Mixing

This movie was simply “okay”. It did give a peek into the life of the eccentric Howard Hughes – a person I barely knew anything about. Leonardo DiCaprio’s portrayal of Hughes made me forget that he drowned in the Titanic. Hughes’ obsessions couldn’t have been depicted any more perfectly. You can see why Leo is such a great actor. Unfortunately, he’s facing Jamie Foxx in this category. Luckily for the movie, there is one acting nomination that could result in an Oscar win: Cate Blanchett. Her portrayal of Katharine Hepburn seemed dead-on. She’s my pick for Supporting Actress…well, for now. But Alan Alda? Nah… there are other better nominees.

So outside of Blanchett, I don’t think this movie will win any other awards. I think that other movies are better qualified to win the Oscar in their respective categories. “The Aviator” has that Martin Scorsese “Gangs of New York” feel to it. It didn’t work for “Gangs…” and it certainly won’t be good enough for “The Aviator”. If I end up being wrong, I’ll blame it on the fact that we were late to this movie and had to sit in one of the first rows. My neck’s still in pain from watching it… blah…

Go out and see this movie if you care to see why the Academy will give it only one or two Oscars… Otherwise, I’d recommend waiting for the DVD… Next up, the movie that waited fifteen years for Jamie Foxx… “Ray”…


Jipped Movie of the Year: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind...

Since I’ve seen a butt load of movies lately, I’d better keep my little blogs of each movie to a minimum – and maybe steal a little from other websites as far as the synopsis goes. From Fandango.com, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” is about…

“Joel (Jim Carrey) is stunned to discover that his girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet) has had her memories of their tumultuous relationship erased. Out of desperation, he contacts the inventor of the process, Dr. Howard Mierzwiak (Tom Wilkinson), to have Clementine removed from his own memory. But as Joel's memories progressively disappear, he begins to rediscover their earlier passion…”

It’s up for two Academy Award nominations…
Best Actress: Kate Winslet
Best Writing (Original Screenplay)

I think it’s a shame that this movie isn’t up for “Best Picture”. I loved every facet of it: the story (how original), the director/writer’s vision, sequence of events, and dialogue, the acting (especially Winslet & Carrey’s interaction), and special effects (you have to watch the movie twice to notice little things you missed the first time around). I only watched this movie because a friend (thanks Bossch) loaned it to me. I remember when the movie came out almost a year ago (March 2004). A coworker of mine told me, “Rodney, you gotta see this movie”. Man – was he right!

So if I’m gushing so much over this film, why isn’t it up for more awards? Maybe ‘cause The Academy has such short-term memory? Why can’t a bunch of film folks recognize originality? Eternal Sunshine was a beautiful work of art. The story unfolds in non-sequential order but by the time the film is over, you completely understand the reasoning and wish you were as brilliant as this writer-director combo. The transition from scene to scene is not only the result of special effects but the vision of a gifted director. The best part about watching this film on DVD is how I was immediately able to watch deleted scenes, interviews with cast & filmmakers, and listen to some of the commentary. Good stuff...

How will it fair at the Oscars? I definitely think it’ll win for Best Writing (Original Screenplay). Unfortunately, I’m still thinking that Hillary Swank’s got the award for Best Actress. That shouldn’t take away from the wonderful job that Kate Winslet does. You forget that she has an accent and can’t help but fall in love with her characters quirks. Any other year, I’d give it to her… unfortunately, I’m still a fan of the Swanker…

Since this movie’s out on DVD, I’d recommend buying it. It’s definitely a keeper and will be part of my collection soon. Hmmm, maybe Bossch will forget he loaned it to me? Nah... that would be bad... bad Rodney…

So, what movie to talk about next? Ah, yes… The Aviator…

Finding Neverland

It's been a few of weeks since I've seen Finding Neverland, but I'll try my best to give my review since it does have SEVEN Academy Award Nominations:

Best Picture
Best Actor - Johnny Depp
Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay)
Best Art Direction
Best Costume Design
Best Film Editing
Best Music (Score)

This movie suprised me. I'm not a fan of films set in the late 1800's/early 1900's. Nor do I care for those movies set in Britian. I'm definitely not a Peter Pan fan. And I never cry in movies. However, by the time Finding Neverland was finished, I had done all I could to fight back the tears. The story takes place in 1904 and is about British author/playwright J.M. Barrie (Jonathan Depp), his troubled marriage, and the inspiration of a widowed wife's (Kate Winslet) four kids on his creation of Peter Pan.

If I had allowed myself, I would have been crying like a moe foe. I don't know if it was the performances turned in by Mr. 21-Jump-Street or Miss Titanic (why didn't she make room for Jack on that raft?) Was it the music? The story? The emotional performance of 13-year old Freddie Highmore, one of Kate Winslet's four sons? It had to be a combination of all that 'cause the last half hour had me close to ballin' like a baby. Maybe it's all my emotional issues? Oh, we'll save that for a different blog. I'd prefer to think that the filmmakers simply did a great job of evoking such emotion.

So what Oscars will it capture? Johnny Depp was good - but trailers from "Ray" have me thinking that Jamie Foxx should win in that category (I can't wait to watch it so I can know for sure that he's who should win). Back to Finding Nemo-land, I don't think it's strong enough in to win Best Picture, Writing, or Film Editing - the other nominees are way too strong. However, the Art Direction, Music, and Costume Design could be the categories it'll score in. When it comes to Costume Design, it seems like time-specific pieces like this movie always get rewarded with the Oscar. Of course, I still have to see a few more movies before making my final decision.

So, is this a movie to see in the theaters? As with Million Dollar Baby, I watched a matinee showing of it. For you Academy Award enthusiasts, it's definitely worth watching. However, for y'all trying to save money for "The Incredibles" DVD, just wait until Finding N comes out on video and rent it. Of note, as good as Kate Winslet was, her "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" performance was much, much better... Speaking of which...

Next blog review: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - the movie the Academy forgot...

It's Oscar season...

So, every year, my girlfriend Glodine and I watch as many Academy Award nominated films as we can before the actual awards show. This year, the awards are showing on Sunday February 27th. That gives us a little over three weeks to catch all the Best Picture nominees & to try and see as many other top nominated films as we can. Will this make us experts on the Oscars? Hell no. What it makes us is poor from all the money spent on tickets, popcorn, and cherry coke. Well, actually, I guess we are a bit more prepared for our Oscar Party/Ballot/Quick-Money-Making-Scheme than most.

This year's Best Picture nominees are:
Million Dollar Baby
Finding Neverland
The Aviator
Sideways
Ray

In the past week, we've seen two of the movies: Million Dollar Baby & Finding Neverland. You members of MySpace are lucky enough (yeah, right) to get an insight on one person's perspective (that would be me) of these movies. If anything, it'll certainly assist you with your own Oscar ballots. You DO partake in an Oscar ballot, right? Alright... so, it's just me.

Anyway, first up...Million Dollar Baby.

7 Academy Award Nominations
Best Picture
Best Actor: Clint Eastwood
Best Actress: Hilary Swank
Best Actor in a Supporting Role: Morgan Freeman
Best Director
Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay)
Best Film Editing

A film about a boxing "cutman" (Clint Eastwood) who owns a boxing gym. He reluctantly trains a girl from the "other side of the tracks" (Hillary Swank) after his pal/gym maintenance man (Morgan Freeman) persuades him to do so. Though I really liked the movie, I can't say, "I loved it..." It was missing the extra oomph. Maybe 'cause it was a slow paced film. For any of you who saw Mystic River and liked it, this is definitely the movie for you. Clint Eastwood's directing style is one of bringing a "real feel" to his movies - just like Mystic River. Is this movie Best Picture worthy? Not sure yet - I'd have to see the other movies first. But my initial feeling is, "Naw".

However, Hillary Swank is AMAZING in this movie. She's no Charlize Theron ala "Monster" - but, man, I don't think the other nominees in the Best Actress field stand a chance. Her physical conditioning and portrayal of the lead character blew me away.

As far as the other actors go, I'd think Morgan Freeman has more of a chance of winning as Best Supporting Actor than Clint Eastwood does for Best Lead Actor. Eastwood's my bet for winning Best Director.

So, should you go see the movie in the theaters? Only if you're interested in seeing why it will win for Best Actress, Best Director, Best Writing, and (possibly) Best Supporting Actor. If anything, catch it via a matinee. However, if you could care less about the awards, just wait for it to come out on DVD...

Next blog... Finding Neverland: The movie that almost made me cry...

Election 2004

Never have I followed an election as closely as this year's Presidential race. Why the sudden concern? Plain and simple... Bush must go. I think many Americans are tired of what this country has gone through the past four years - and it's time for a change. Before watching Farenheit 9/11 (did I spell that correctly?), the only reason I had for NOT voting for Bush was based on his personality alone. Sure - funny guy. Great to laugh AT him... But our nation's leader? Please... Michael Moore has totally inspired me to get more involved and educate myself of this country's politics. I'm trying to read up on the candidates, I've been following the debates, and I've been listening to NPR (94.9FM) whenever I'm driving. Can't believe's there actually a world outside the workplace, basketball, and movies & tv... If you can vote for American Idol, you can vote for our president...

On a side note, I just got done watching a clip from IFILM.com (ummm... a bit different than IFILMS.com...hehehe). It's the clip of Jon Stewart on CNN's Crossfire. Gotta love Jon Stewart & The Daily Show.
