Finally got into see "There Will Be Blood" last night. With only one theater in Los Angeles showing it, getting tickets to match you schedule was tough.
This film opens wide very soon. See it for many reason, some of which I will outline now:
- great story told well by Paul Thomas Anderson
- fine acting from Daniel Day-Lewis
- fantastic score by Jonny Greenwood
- Superb Cinematography by Robert Elswit
Stumble This
A) All of my friends have said nothing but great things about it, and there's no better advertisement than word of mouth. B) Not that PT Anderson has ever made a bad movie, because he hasn't, but this is supposed to be the best one he's made since Boogie Nights. And, C) it has my all time favorite actor, Danial Day Lewis, for crying out loud! He's been consistently good in everything. Did you see In the Name of the Father? Genius! He was even perfect in Ballad of Jack and Rose, which wasn't a great movie, but a worthwhile piece to see just for DDL alone.
I have also felt your pain over the annoying audience, but there is an answer... go to see it at the Arclight. If someone glances at a phone during a showing there you can have them removed, seriously you pay the extra $ to keep the punters out. These days It's movies in this order, private screening, the Arclight or wait for video.
