... 40 minutes. Speaking of Elswitt, the quirkiness of the plot points actually kind of reminded me of Paul Thomas Anderson. A strange and frazzled girl walks out of the rain into a martial arts place and almost shoots a police officer and we’re just expected to accept that “these crazy things happen all the time” as the Magnolia narrator might say. The moment is “forgotten” and...

There Will Be Blood (IndieLondon)

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 16:48:52 GMT

IT WOULD be easy to run out of superlatives for an actor like Daniel Day-Lewis. He’s undoubtedly one of the modern greats and his performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s oil epic There Will Be Blood is yet another astonishing achievement.

... DVD Excitable film critics rolled out words such as “towering” and “epic” when they first watched Paul Thomas Anderson’s oil-soaked period drama on the big screen. But now, with its DVD release and a degree of hindsight, doesn’t Daniel Day-Lewis’s best actor Oscar seem more like an Academy Award for overacting? At least the Blu-ray version of the film, also released this week,...

IF THERE WAS one enduring moment in Paul Thomas Anderson's strange and brilliant There Will Be Blood that penetrated the pop-culture landscape, it was Daniel Day-Lewis's demented uttering of the aforementioned phrase during the film's bullgoose-loon finale.
