Despite paying £12.50 (≈ 25 US Dollars) every second of Paul Thomas Anderson's 'There Will Be Blood' was worth it. The movie is centered around a greedy oilman (Daniel Day-Lewis) in search of wealth and oil in the west at the turn of the century. The movie portrays what greed can do to a person, a family, and their 'religion'.

After watching Day-Lewis's performance in this movie and in other films, such as The Last of the Mohicans, I am convinced he's an acting god or something. His performance is absolutely amazing and it is hard believe he's actually acting. Paul Dano, a rising star has a solid performance as well. I'm a little surprised Dano wasn't nominated for the supporting role, however if Day-Lewis does not win an Oscar for this movie, I plan on personally going to California next year to boycott the academy.

Typically, the Oscar's follows the Golden Globes and the BAFTA Awards, which awarded Atonement (which I have yet to see) with the Best Picture award. However, I'm holding out hope 'There Will Be Blood' wins Best Picture.
