Best acting ever
Nate and I snuck out last night for the late showing of There Will Be Blood. Daniel Day Lewis does some of the best acting I've ever seen. He's one of those guys that isn't in a ton of movies but every one he's in is epic. I've seen him in Gangs of New York, Last of the Mohican's, In the name of the father...great in every one. I could talk for a long time about this movie but it needs to be experienced. Any one else see it yet?

i would have to concur.
this movie blew me away.
acting - excellent.
directing - excellent.
cinematography - gorgeous.
score - fantastic.
editing - perfect.
i wish i had better adjectives.
if this doesn't win best film, i will be seriously disappointed.
Yup, I'm right there with you. It completely blew my mind. I'm fairly desensitized, but I found myself holding my breath through three or four scenes. Daniel Day-Lewis is stunning, and Paul Dano gets props just for acting as DD-L's antagonist.
And that score-unbelievable. On its own it's one-of-a-kind, but it's a perfect compliment to the movie.
It might take the number one spot in my personal film canon.
Well, that's good to know. We looked at previews last night for possibly seeing it this afternoon and saw this:
acting - mediocre
directing - so-so
cinematography - unimpressive
score - bland
editing - nothing to write home about
I know they say that reviews are often way off, but I'll take your lead and make sure we go to see it.
I've really got to get out to see this.
