The Desevered Winner of the Golden Globe for Best Picture


There Will be Blood, Paul Thomas Anderson's adaptation of Upton Sinclair's Oil! is without a doubt the best movie released in the year 2007, if not the best movie produced in several years. Daniel Day Lewis, as Mr. Plainfield, the rough and atheistic oil man in early twentieth century California presents the best piece of acting I have seen in several years, leaving the audience both fascinated and repulsed by the development of this man's entrepreneurship. The soundtrack to the film, composed by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead, is both melodic and haunting, masterfully accenting the ambiance of the film. Check it out.
