There Will Be Blood

(2007)

Almost 6 years have passed since I saw this and anointed it the 2nd-best film (and a very close second, behind No Country for Old Men) of 2007, which was followed by the most extensive discussion of a film ever in these pages, with my old grad school buddy Kay Kalinak. I had completely forgotten the domineering score, though much else had stayed with me. Not as blown away by it this time, though it's a fair bet that part of that was having it reduced to a 42" screen--and being way more annoyed by that score than I seem to have been then.
