There Will Be Blood
Those who believe America is trading blood for oil will find agreement in the film's very title. This story, of prospecting and drilling for dark gushers of black gold, is very well done. Performances, cinematography, writing, the wonderful costume and scene design -- we could go on and on. What Day-Lewis displays here is his extraordinary theatrical genius for the cinematic frame, he is in this movie playing a ruthless, fearsome oil-man.There Will Be Blood is odd, unsettling and completely engrossing, and just the thing to restore your faith in the movies.

finally got to see the infamous There Will Be Blood... Daniel-Day Lewis' performance was top-notch. He takes well to the overbearing, violent father-figure role -- he also did this in Gangs of New York.
