“There Will Be Blood”
January 28th, 2008 by JonathanAmazing!! 5 stars!!
I found myself high above the floor in the stadium seats of Westbrook’s Cinemagic theater for the first time the other night. The comfy seats, high-definition digital screen, and Dolby-whatever sound was magical! Cinemagical!! As those who know me would tell you, I’m not really that big on movies or television. Unless it’s a really organic documentary, I have trouble seeing anything more than a bunch of actors standing around on a sound stage. Due to some recent “adjustments” in my domestic routine, I find myself going on a lot more dates recently, hence my trip to Cinemagic. I’ve watched more movies in the last 4 months than I have in the last 4 years! I’ll usually just sit there grinning and bearing the experience, but within two minutes of “There Will Be Blood“, I was mesmorized! Perhaps it was the big damn screen, or that intense surround sound, or maybe the brilliant landscapes of the film, but I suddenly found myself standing out there on the dusty hills of turn-of-the-century New Mexico. For the next 158 minutes, I rode the edge of my seat, totally emersed in the ever-thickening plot of the film.
I won’t try to summarize the movie, but I will say that “There Will Be Blood” is suddenly on my very exclusive top-10 movies list! Check it out!
