Film reviews are often expected to put into words why someone should like or dislike the finished product. For There Will Be Blood, I cannot do that, because it’s so self-evident that it’s rendered plainly unnecessary. There’s no possible way you can walk out of this movie disappointed — simply, it’s the best film I’ve ever seen in my lifetime, and Daniel Day Lewis’ performance is among the all-time greats. I’ll give you all 7 to 10 business days to see it before I come to your house and slit your throat.
But before you head to the threatre, check out a sample of the week that was…
- Umphrey’s McGee celebrates 10 years of face-melting on NYE

And just remember as we go forward, folks: I drink your milkshake.

Easily one of the greatest ending for a film ever. Absolutely worth the money just for that scene.
