There Will Be Blood

Indulgent, indulgent, indulgent. Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the greatest actors in the history of history, but PTAnderson is indulgent, and seems to be more concerned with you admiring the craft instead of being pulled in by the story.

Could have had 30 minutes easily cut from it.

2 stars.

While we're on the topic of bad films...

Mr. Woodcock is the biggest comedic dissapointment of the year so far. Was one of the single worst films I have seen. There was a plot, but it never went anywhere. The jokes and puns got old in the first 30 minutes.

Odd, I'd think that movie was meant for you.

I'm still dying to see it, overindulgent or not, because I'd watch Daniel Day-Lewis read a phone book and it'd still be worth three stars.

I saw "There Will Be Blood" yesterday, I really liked it. It was long and, like Julian said, could have easily been edited down a bit but I loved the story and Lewis's ridiculously over the top character. Me and my girlfriend LOL'd several times at just how insane some of the shit he did and said was. I'd give it 3.5 stars...
