What's it all about? (27 August 2008)
What a very strange and remarkable film this is. Visually, it's brilliant, mesmerising, full of staggering set pieces and resonant images (the old photographs which acted as inspiration are well worth checking out in the extras). Daniel Day Lewis' performance is towering; he completely occupies the role and utterly dominates the film just as he utterly dominates everything around him. That's the part, of course, but there's more to his performance than that - his charismatic presence in the film is remarkable, particularly as it's achieved with almost no shouting, arm-waving or showboating of any kind, and it's hard to imagine any other actor creating it... contrast and compare, for example, Leonardo diCaprio's boyish efforts at Howard Hughes in 'The Aviator'. I'd suggest that this is the film which finally sets Day-Lewis among the all-time acting greats.

What's less clear is what the film is actually about. Plainview's story is like a mighty engine rolling forward, but his character is so unique, so individual, that it's hard to draw any broad conclusions. Over-vaunting ambition against family and personal relationships? The ongoing struggle with evangelical religion - God vs Mammon? It's all powerfully realised, but exactly what it is is more problematic. Puzzling too that this epic story ends less on a bang than on a weirdly inconclusive whimper.

I need to, and will, watch it again.

A hollow shell of a movie (27 August 2008)
Two great, chilling performances from the central characters, each embodying different forms of obsession (the gaining of control through wealth accumulation vs the gaining of control via the use of religious fanaticism), but there it ends - a beautifully-photographed, but a curiously uninvolving scenario that depends far too much on sudden and unexplained outbursts of violence when the film begins to drag. Great films need more than this.

There will be oscars..and there was (27 August 2008)
If someone asked me, 'hey, what type of horrors do you reccomend, ya know something edgy, down-beat and terrifying'. right now i would more than likely say 'There will be blood'.
It has an atmosphere of dread and crippling fear throughout and although a few scenes could have been cut out completlely, this is a superb piece of film-making.
It is definatly not for all tastes with its bleeakness but then there is also twisted fun to be had with Day Lewis's performance. The last 45 minutes is a remarkable, scary and darkly amusing set of scenes. the frustration shown on his face when confronted with the salvation is something to behold.
A study in hypocracy and greed and of one mans deterioation. the key element being how time isnyt really a great healer and if you got a bad core then your more than likely going to remain that way. as in magnolia the director asks us what we can forgive, and i believe unless something is so sinful, then forgiveness cen be abundent, but in this film there is no room for forgiveness.
Do not get me wrong alot of melodramas have thier fair share of grief but hereis a film that spreads fear from the word go and doesnt let go. faith is only for those that believe, if you dont believe then you have to believe in yourself and others such as friends and family as the ones to look up to. the grey area is almost impossible to enter but as Day Lewis's charachter shows once trapped, you may just stay trapped

Packing is a disaster (19 August 2008)
Top movie, but the "environmentally-friendly cardboard made from recycled paper" packing is a complete disaster!
