A Cinematic Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2008)

A film unlike any other in 2007.... Paul Thomas Anderson delivers a knockout punch with There Will Be Blood! The cinematography, writing, scripting, directing, scoring and acting blend the story of a lust for power into a cinematic masterpiece. Daniel Day Lewis has no rivals. He is the ultimate actor. The supporting cast proves they can hold the screen with DDL, even if he does steal every scene in which he appears. The beginning of the film offers such a different feel than most films shot today. It's quite refreshing. A film everyone should see, just to say they've seen it. Even if you end up hating it. (Seems the reviews are split on this one.) When 'There Will Be Blood' releases on Blu-Ray, it will become a centerpiece in my collection.
