There will be Blood

[J pold]

This movie looks fantastic and is getting rave reviews

“If [Day-Lewis] does not win the Academy Award for this protean portrayal, it will be because he's won before. Or because his gift, his discipline, is so daunting it can be confounding.”

“A] Work [of] blistering intensity -- and filmmaking that can make your jaw drop.”

“A force beyond categories.”

However I cannot find it opening anywhere in Calgary and its not listed on Nehkara’s movie list

The opening date was scheduled for January 11 2008 (in Toronto) I have checked www.calgarymovies.com in there “coming soon” and “all movies” section and its not listed anywhere

Am I missing something here, or is this movie not opening in Calgary?

I caught it on Monday night, sneak preview at Eau Claire. Absolutely loved it, I was losing my mind. By far the best film I've seen in the past year, maybe past 2 years.

Boogie Nights and Punch Drunk Love are 2 of my favorite movies of all time so I was pretty excited to see what Anderson would do with Lewis. It goes without saying that Daniel Day Lewis is an incredible actor, but he simply destroys. Not purely menacing like Bill the Butcher, but scary in a different way, unpredictable.

2 hours and 40 mins, but I didn't want it to end.

I have been waiting with bated breath for this movie to finally hit screens in Calgary. It's about time!

Saw this movie the other night.

In my esteem, an overlong and overdry political/religious allegory rounded out by superb acting (Day Lewis especially, obviously), great cinematography (the same Roger Deakins who is competing against himself for an Oscar in this category for No Country) and an intriguing musical score (by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood).

Director PT Anderson made a name for himself with his Robert Altman-esque ensemble dramas Boogie Nights and Magnolia, and he strays from that format here, much to his disadvantage. There Will Be Blood is sparsely populated and missing the sometimes over-the-top style that worked so well with his other films; this film is more like something Stanley Kubrick might have done, and done better.

Don't get me wrong, an interesting movie to watch and I doubt there is a more powerhouse performance in 2007 than Day Lewis, but I can't imagine watching this again, or ranking it as highly as many others have.

Seeing it this weekend, can't wait!! I havent seen a Day-Lewis movie since Gangs of New York, which he was fantastic in.
