What an achievement...

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2008)

This movie simply solidified my belief that Paul Thomas Anderson is a cinematic genius unmatched in present day film-making. Daniel Day-Lewis gave the greatest cinematic performance I've ever seen. I certainly hope the Academy sees fit to finally award Paul Thomas Anderson an Oscar for screenplay...he also deserves to win for Directing and Picture, but I think those are longer shots. If Daniel Day-Lewis doesn't win the Oscar for Best Actor...The Academy's credibility will be shot. I'm puzzled why there was no nomination for Cinematography...maybe someone who knows more about it might be able to offer some insight.
