ACOT Message Board

Here we are in November already.  Another month...another of Hollywood's finest!!

We are in month 4 of our new challenge, this one will still involve a love of movies and those that make them. Those that lead us on a momentary escape from our daily life. The actors that make us laugh, cry, anger, and cheer.  Each month we will focus on the work of one actor/actress.  There will be three options each month. You may do each option or just one, your choice.  In the past you were permitted to "find" a movie, now you many ONLY use the options given here!!  They must be used EXACTLY AS IS!!!!

This challenge has a limit of 3 ENTRIES.  You may only do ONE from each category for a total of 3, For example- you cannot do two posters and one quote, you may only do one poster, one quote and one title to reach 3 entries.  Any questions - please ask!

This month we will be focusing on the outstanding work of Al Pacino - one of Hollywood's elite actors. He may be a little kooky in real life but on screen he creates magic.  My second favorite movie of all time is "The Godfather". Al Pacino as Michael Corleone is just brilliant. He can convey so much in a movie without even saying a single word.  Would really love to hear what your favorite Pacino movie, there are so many great ones to pick from.

Great choice for this challenge and I totally agree with you on the movie title popularity!  LOL! 
LO and scary injury.  So glad he was okay. 
 

Great choices, this looks like fun, Thank you. 

option 3-title
combined with make-the-cut challenge

option #2 quote "Say hello to my little friend"

I used And Justice for All. Black and white with a color photo. And Molly (in purple) is the lawyer in the family 

Option #2 -   "I'm just getting warmed up"



ugh.  I mis-remembered the quote.  Is it close enough? 

I chose this one.

Here is my interpertation

opt 1 movie poster.  inspired by the overall design and slanted title.  combined with baby/kid

   

option 2-quote (first 2 lines of my journaling).  combined with baby/kid

Love this month's challenge! Al Pacino is my husband's favorite actor! 

I went with the Movie Poster "Scarface".

I used quote No. 3.  thought it was fun to go with these photos


combined with 1,3,5,7 chall

I chose Option 3 and chose the title Stand Up Guys.  I combined this with the Sketch 401 Challenge. It's not crooked IRL...  No clue why the program stitched it together crooked...

Option 2 -  "I'm Just Getting Warmed Up - Scent of a Woman

 
I was inspired by the circle with the images inside it. Also I put my title below it just like the poster.

Option 2...the quote was perfect, since my daughter was warming up on the cello!



Mandy

For Option 1, i was inspired by Godfather iI and used blacks and gold, and fashioned my title like the poster
