it is actually an epic tale that follows a much appreciated non-mainstream storyline and has music so tense and foreboding, it will leave you wet and heaving.

Paulie, though his critique is shallow and dismissive, happens to be accidentally correct on this one. P.T. Anderson is America's greatest living hack fraud director. Of all the directors in his generation, his ability to pass off cliche and banality as originality and depth is unsurpassed. Sophia Coppola and Wes Anderson are a distant second and third.

What are you talking about? Boogie Nights, Magnolia, and There Will be Blood are FANTASTIC movies! Also on the Wes Anderson issue, Rushmore, The Royal Tennenbaums, and Life Aquatic, are modern masterpieces. Etchasketch, your movie tastes a very far removed from mine...I'd hate to see your DVD collection.

Dont listen to Paulie, this is the best movie of last year. (No Country for Old Men is a close 2nd) Dont expect a ton of action, but the story and acting are incredible!

I thought No Country for Old Men was one of the worst movies I'd ever seen in my life. If you can change my opinion by explaining why this should even pass for a movie please try and do so.

He desperately wishes he were Robert Altman but has none of Altman's humanism. He is great at casting, editing and production design. Terrible at writing, directing actors and steals tons of shots from other movies. None of his movies matter. They're all well made pieces of nothing.

While I disagree with the point, I don't think 'wishing you were Robert Altman' is a bad thing for any director to be striving for. He was certainly a "student" of Altman and was even the fill-in director on Prairie Home Companion in case Altman's health failed during shooting. I think each of PT Anderson's films are quite different from each other and that he's trying new and interesting things with each outing. Magnolia is amazing, as is Boogie Nights, as is There Will Be Blood. There are few directors (especially American directors) doing the types of projects that he picks. But I respect your opinion...

Either way, more people should seriously check this movie out. And the kids like Radiohead, right? Johnny Greenwood did the soundtrack...it's pretty amazing...

"There Will Be Blood" was hands down the best movie of 2007, the acting by Daniel Day Lewis is just plain amazing. Besides that point the whole epic story is a complete work of art. This isn't really my "kind" of movie, but I have to say that I enjoyed every moment of it and knew as soon as it was over that there has not been a movie this good for a couple of years.
