Sorry for the delay, I’m a working stiff and Mondays are…well Monday’s are Monday’s. Here it is, let me know what you think. At times I felt like I was watching a roast on Hollywood, I wonder if Eddie is going to be mad, that was funny. Jon Stewart is a funny dude, so was Ellen last year.

George Clooney, “Michael Clayton”
Daniel Day-Lewis, “There Will Be Blood”

I was so disappointed with this movie, (the book kicks butt) that I have a hard time being happy about this choice. It did look good though.
And there you have it. Let me know what you think.
Doug-
on the movies i’ve seen i have to say i agree with most of your commentaries. except music.. did ‘there will be blood’ have music? the only thing i can remember was an erie sound of something sounding simiular to a siren. but the siren was good!
Yeah blood had music. The score was done by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. Check out my review at http://www.moviesbooksfood.com/http:/moviesbooksfood.com/movie-review-there-will-be-blood/. I talk a bit about the music.
oh… ok ill check it out. thanks
