MOVIE: There Will Be Blood (@CinemaWorld)

After the race and toastmasters officer training, I went directly to CinemaWorld (yeah, I know) to watch There Will Be Blood because TWBB wasn't offered at Rave, CW was on the way home, and there was a no-wait showtime. Anyways,...

I really didn't know what to expect from TWBB, so I during the movie, my expectations were rampant and very dynamic. Turns out, it would've been nice just to know that it was just a movie about an oil man.

The film was good, but like noted, it was a story - there really wasn't a driving force behind the main action asides from money and "revenge-but-not-really?" (it's difficult to describe). I mean, it was a good film, but I wish that I knew more about it going in.

The thing that I really liked the most about There Will Be Blood was Daniel Day-Lewis. Daniel Day-Lewis should win Best Actor (with me seeing all but Tommy Lee Jones's performance). He had a lot of charisma and didn't play a character, he embodied his character.

So anyways, the movie was good, but I can't see watching it again... same for Michael Clayton. I've seen Juno twice and wouldn't mind watching Atonement or No Country For Old Men for a second time. There's plenty of things to take into consideration when voting for a Best Picture, but I'm going by my gut and writing my order:

    1) No Country For Old Men
    2) Juno
    3) Atonement
    4) There Will Be Blood
    5) Michael Clayton
