There Will Be Blood

Rating: 9

Is it just me, or does Daniel Day-Lewis bear a striking resemblance to Charles Foster Kane in that poster? I don't think it's a coincidence, since the movie's about how greed and ambition make you kooky. Also there's some metaphor about blood being like oil, I think. It's a gothic, sad, creepy story with strange and interesting characters, made even creepier by the score from Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead. And the title doesn't lie: there was blood.
