Finally caught up and saw P.T. Anderson's There Will Be Blood last night. I'm a big fan of his previous work including Punch Drunk Love and Magnolia. There's been plenty of press on this film so I won't go into a detailed review. The movie was exceptional with great performances, great cinematography, perfect sound desgin, and an interesting brutal story. I did not want to review this film but wanted to put my two cents in by saying Daniel Day-Lewis deserves the best actor award that he's up for this year. I've seen the big competitor, Cohen's Brothers "No Country For Old Men", which I enjoyed immensely as well. Talking about each film as a whole I enjoyed No Country a bit more than There Will Be Blood (mainly due to the slow nature of the film and long running time) but Daniel's performance is one that will be put in your head for good..... or maybe bashed in your head is a better way of putting it.
