On June 1st the 5 Obstructions blogathon started. More details on what it is and how to join can be found here. Each month a new obstruction will be posted.
June 1st: Obstruction 1
July 1st: Obstruction 2
August 1st: Obstruction 3
September 1st: Obstruction 4
October 1st: Obstruction 5
As there is a whole month for blogs to post their entry this means the entries will slowly trickle in during each month. Below you can find an overview of the blogs which are participating in this blogathon and their current status in regards to the various obstructions. The gold checkmarks indicate that the blogger has done the hardest form of the challenge.
Clicking on the checkmarks will take you to the entry of that blog.

Nice. My review will come out tomorrow.
Cool, already added your blog to the list ready to add the link to the article.
Still have time.. I still need to choose a movie though.. 😀
Yeah, you have the whole month to pick one, should be enough 🙂
Already watched the film I dislike, and will review it soon.
Cool, looking forward to it.
This sounds exactly like something I suggested to Nick for his Review tournament over at the Lamb, at least as far as the first obstruction goes. I will have to take part in this too, sounds like an interesting challenge.
Just let me know when your first post is up and you will also be up on the board! 🙂
My review will be up Wednesday. I’m excited to see everyone’s posts!
Cool! Looking forward to checking it out and adding it here!
Wow, cool way to display everyone’s posts here Nostra. I’ll let you know when mine goes up. Most likely I’ll go with doing a positive review of a movie I didn’t particularly care for.
Thanks…really thought about the best way to show all the posts and decided this would be the easiest…clear overview and you can see who has done which ones and quickly click to each one of them.
Happy to hear you are also joining in Ruth!
Can I still join? It’s a really interesting blogathon! 😀
my english blog: http://filmflare.blogspot.com
Of course, everyone is free to join, the more there are the better! Looking forward to your entry. Leave the link in this post or just send a tweet or an email.
Hi Nostra. Here’s the link to my post:

Thanks again for setting up this cool blogathon.
Cool Dan, have added it to the overview! Happy to do it and I’m very glad to see so many blogs participating.
hi 😀 i’m joining the fun!
here’s a link to my post : http://karamelkinema.wordpress.com/2013/06/14/twilight-saga-breaking-dawn-part-2-2012/
Thanks for joining, will be adding your post to the overview.
Negative review of Silver Linings Playbook http://sydneyaaliyah.com/2013/06/13/the-5-obstructions-blogathon-obstruction-1/
Have added the link!
I haven’t yet gotten around to mine, but I hope to soon. I’m planning revisiting Transformers 2, which is kind of a watershed moment for me as a critic as one of the worst movies I have ever seen, but Michael Bay’s personal style and accomplishment on that film can’t be written off despite how titanically awful it is.
Take your time Brian, the month still hasn’t finished. That’s a very interested choice, really want to see what you will be doing with it!

Here’s my submission to the Five Obstructions with this post. Hope I pass this first obstruction.
Thanks Steven, will be adding it to the overview!
Hey Nostra, thanks again for hosting this awesome blogathon – here’s my entry for Obstruction #1: http://limereviews.blogspot.de/2013/06/obstruction-15-positive-review-of-movie.html
Cool! It will be added to the overview!
OK, so I have now completed my 5 Obstruction Number 1 – http://ultimatereviews.co.uk/?p=7157
Has been added to the overview Mark! Thanks again for joining!
Bloody hell, I’m going to have to make this a priority tomorrow. So many entries so far. Don’t want to be left out! 🙂
Interested to see what you will do with it…whatever it is I am assuming it will be a very entertaining read!
I have completed Obstruction #1. At last! Here’s a link: http://bananasaboutmovies.com/2013/06/30/the-5-obstructions-blogathon-the-three-musketeers/
Thanks, have added it to the overview!
Here’s my entry for the first obstruction: http://filmflare.blogspot.pt/2013/06/obstruction-no-1-positive-review-of.html
It was a very interesting exercise. 🙂
Thanks Sofia, have added it to the overview!
Hi Nostra,
Down to the wire, but here is the link to my first obstruction:
http://niels85.wordpress.com/2013/06/30/the-5-obstructions-blogathon-1-alien-1979/
Cool Niels, it was a cool one to read. Added to the overview 🙂
Hi Nostra, already pingbacked the link to my first obstruction- but in case you didn’t see it: http://elementalreviews.wordpress.com/2013/06/30/obstruction-1-intouchables/
Cheers.
Thanks Dan, have added it to the overview!
Was wondering if I’d get a banner here somewhere. Lol. Great blogathon Nostra! At work with the 2nd Obstruction.
The banner is already up in the overview Armand, thanks for joining and looking forward to the second one!
I’m so behind on blogging in general because of all that traveling, but hopefully I’ll be able to do Obstruction #1 this month. Still haven’t heard from Sam Neill, probably never will. Ah well I probably just interview my friend for a review of a UK film she saw in London for Obstruction #2.
Even without travelling I’m very behind so don’t worry Ruth. Hope to see you entry(ies) soon!
Nostra, I’m just saying thanks for pushing me to try and do an interview. I just posted my interview with the director of the music documentary In the Deep Shade today. I also reviewed it the week previously. I’ll put up a summary post giving credit to your blogathon by the weekend. I also have another one possibly in the works and got a response from John Sayles’ people about covering his film when it comes out in the fall. Setting up the interview was surprisingly easy.
Happy to hear that Dan. I hope it would inspire other bloggers to see that getting an interview can be in reach. I know you have done others in the past but I like reading that it did push you. Will put up a link to the summary post once it is up, but you could also refer to the interview from the review (that is what I did for mine).
Here is my contribution to the second part of Five Obstructions Blog-a-Thon. I hope I passed this one.
Yeah, you have passed 🙂 Have added you to the overview.
I think it’s safe to say I’ve failed the second blogathon obstruction. 🙁
Well, still a couple of hours left, maybe you can interview someone near to you?
Hi Nostra,
I’m sorry for not doing the second obstruction, but I was on a long (4 weeks) vacation..without internet…. Is there a way I can make it up? Let me know. 🙂
I can forgive that, please just do the second obstruction as stated.
Here is my third obstruction: http://thevoid99.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-five-obstructions-blog-thon-3-match.html
I really hope I didn’t screw this one up and also not get sued by the writers who wrote the quotes that I sampled.
Have added it.
Nostra, I already done my 3rd Obstruction. Meant to post this comment last week, but the blog was having some access trouble. So, here’s mine : http://www.inspired-ground.com/obstruction-3-lovelace-2013/
It is up there Andina..thanks for joining again
This is my 5th http://www.inspired-ground.com/obstruction-5-social-numbness-in-a-movie/
Yay, I completed the blogathon 😀
Thanks Andina! Great to see you belong to the few who managed to do them all!
