THERE WILL BE BLOOD (2007) - Jan. 3, 2008
Wow! Wow. This was an astounding film, from the extended, dialogue-free sequence that opens the film, to the absolutely jaw-dropping finale (which has to rank among the best and most memorable endings of all time). There are so many great moments in this film I can't even begin to list them all. I think that this film has confirmed it: Paul Thomas Anderson is the greatest director working today, and yes -- maybe even the greatest director ever. It might be a bit soon for that pronouncement, but if he makes a few more films of this caliber then it is a done deal. And as awesome as Anderson's work is, he is matched in awesomeness by Daniel Day Lewis' performance, which is shockingly, astoundingly good. Wow! That's all I can really say. I need to see this again. ****
