There Will Be Blood...

Anyone watch this movie? I actually kinda liked it. Kinda slow at points and felt kinda long, but it was a change of pace. I'd give it a B+ or A-.

Btw, the main actor is the same guy that's the main actor in the music video for Knights of Cydonia.

It really is a great movie, but it's slow. If you don't like slow movies, or you have an insatiable thirst for violence then you'll be sorely dissapointed.

Just to give you a perspective on how it stands in the critic's eyes, on Metacritic.com it recieved a 92/100 from a mixed average of 39 major reviews; not a feat very easily managed that's for sure. Only two other movies have a rating that high on that website.

The lead actor, Daniel Day Lewis, was the lead in the Last of the Mohicans, and was Bill the Butcher Cutting in Gangs of New York.

And Daniel Day Lewis, is definitely not in the Knights of Cydonia music video.

They both have mustaches though.

The plot wasn't really that inspiring for me actually. Daniel Day Lewis' performance was outstanding, though for him outstanding is usually par for the course.

Aw man...but they both have such epic mustaches...

I guess the screwed up nose and older looks are a bit of a contrast that I didn't see.
