THERE WILL BE BLOOD (AND ALSO A WAY OVER-HYPED MOVIE)
So I managed to see "There Will Be Blood" the Academy Award Nominated darling from P. W. Anderson. I must say I was extremely impressed with the power of the movie, but maybe I've been watching too much Die Hard, but I didn't like it. There I said it, let the movie gods who have labeled this film "Citizen Kane" for the 21st century douse me in oil and set my aflame.
This guy, Mr. Daniel Day Lewis. Oh damn, talk about a thundering performance. If he wasn't in the film I wouldn't have really cared for it. It looked pretty, but seriously this guy is a monster. When is he going to chew into a really meaty when known role. I'd love to see him tackle a historical figure or maybe even a fictional character like Captian Ahab in a new "Moby Dick" film.
It was the first movie I have ever seen that I was completely mesmerized but also completely bored by. Also mad props to Ciarán Hinds, who is a fine actor who frequently goes un-recognized in his roles.
P.S. If you are not looking for a wildly intense movie like this go see "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" you will not be disappointed.
