Dynamite! Great picture, don't miss it.

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2008)

Somebody out there in Hollywood is getting the message that we, as a movie going audience, have had enough of comic book characters on the big screen. At least I hope so anyway. This is movie making magic right here. A compelling story, Oscar caliber acting and all the other bells and whistles that make for great motion pictures. Daniel Day Lewis does an amazing job of bringing the character Daniel Plainview to life. His performance was so intense that you can tell that he immersed himself in the idea of being this man on the screen. I have heard some complaints about the musical score, but I found it to be perfect. The haunting and almost alien sounds that were coming out of the speakers created the perfect mood to go along with the mind blowing movie. I actually said out loud to myself a few times "Oh man, that music is f'd up, I love it!" Don't miss this one folks, it's terrific and gives me renewed hope that Hollywood is on the right track.
