THERE WILL BE BLOOD DVD

Evil Incarnate
PT Anderson is the man. Auch, Daniel Day-Lewis is the man. The combination of these two is ruthless in the adaptation of Upton Sinclair`s "Oil!". Daniel Plainview (Day-Lewis) considers himself an oil man and within him is a fierce competition where he wants no one else to succeed. This competition drives him during the oil boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries in California. A gripping story of greed, ambition, exploitation, family, religion and oil. Day-Lewis won best actor for good reason. Highly recommended...oh, and there will be blood.

Best movie of 2007
This will go down as one of the greatest movies ever made, I have little doubt. From Daniel Day Lewis`s jaw droppingly phenomenal performance, to up and comer Paul Dano`s (of little miss sunshine) somehow overlooked brilliant job as a young a passionate priest. The acting is top notch.
What I appreciated most is the tremendous job they did of creating this atmosphere that really set the tone for the movie. Johnny Greenwood (Radiohead`s lead guitarist) created a scratchy soundtrack that kept you on the edge of your seat without having to sacrifice story to have some michael bay type explosion that`ll keep you interested. The cinematography was stunning. They did something really interesting, reminded me a lot of The Assasination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford. It was all really simple breathtaking images, however, the purposefully had the camera go in and out of focus.
All of these combine to create a masterpiece of filmmaking that will be wildly heralded for years to come.
