Summary: Packing is a disaster
Comment: Top movie, but the "environmentally-friendly cardboard made from recycled paper" packing is a
complete disaster!

Summary: there will be blood
Comment: There Will Be Blood (Single Disc Edition) [2007]

over long.over acted, self indulgent
twaddle, all style and no content.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Fine drama, confused in places
Comment: This is an intense study of a single minded oil man and his struggles and tests in reaching the top.
It also shows the various delusions, brutalities and neglects he is a party to in his rise in his
field.

Without some first rate acting, this film would not hold together. It has too
many uneven elements and parts of the story do not fit as naturally as might be liked. That it
remains a stunning piece of cinema is a tribute to everyone involved, but I strongly recommend
people to watch and decide for themselves. At the very least, you will see some stunning acting and
fine, affecting drama.

Summary: Nearly a winner
Comment: Daniel Day-Lewis plays a deeply flawed oil man at the turn of the 19th century America. He deserved
his Oscar for Best Actor with a truly mesmerising performance.

The story itself is
interesting enough, albeit a tad slow. The choice of musical score was inspired as it added tension
to scenes which would otherwise have been mundane.

My disappointment was the ending,
which left me feeling short-changed. I thought I was watching a masterpiece only to find towards the
end that I no longer cared about any of the characters.

Summary: He shoots....HE SCORES!
Comment: There are two things that make this film seriously special and although Daniel Day-Lewis is
definitely one of them, he isn't the one that pushes this into the realms of the classics. The man
who is responsible for that is Radiohead's Johnny Greenwood, because without his soundtrack this
would have been a TOTALLY different film, indeed at times his music doesn't seem to have been scored
for this film at all, which doesn't sound at face value like a good idea...but MY GOD. Greenwood
takes TV-series Lost's building-orchestral-tune-up and turns it into a 150 minute symphony...it adds
a sense of foreboding to even the most simple scene.
There are plenty of other reviews here
that deal with the (brilliant) performances and (actually pretty derivative) story but the real news
here is that we have a new composer who stands, on this evidence, on the same plain as Ennio
Morricone. Blimey.
