Ok, so I watched There Will be Blood last night. I will admit, for some people it might be a snoozer. The first 15 minutes or so, not one line was even spoken.

I do understand this tshirt now though...


The movie was adapted from a novel entitled 'Oil!' and follows the character Daniel Plainview in his quest to be the biggest oilman, and crush anyone who tries to compete or get in his way. While searching for gold, he discovers his first well, and changes his career. While at that well, one of his partners dies, and he adopts his infant child. He uses his adopted son to promote a family image when buying oil rights from farmers.

It's not a fast paced movie I will admit, but I still enjoyed it, definitely a full blown drama, and I don't remember if he won, but Daniel-Day Lewis deserved an award for his performance.

I'd recommend this one, but also pass along a warning about what they should expect.

Enjoy your weekend,

ciao!
