The 2-Disc Collector's Edition of Paul Thomas Anderson's brilliant There Will Be Blood, the first of 2007's Best Picture nominees to receive the multiple DVD treatment, offers a superb transfer, a fact that should come as no surprise to those aware of Anderson's admiration for DVD. Although some may quibble with there being only eight chapter stops for a 160-minute film, the truth is that each of the eight has been perfectly chosen and titled, so viewers can find what they need easily. The most interesting of the extras on the bonus disc is "The Story of Petroleum," a silent movie from the 1920s made to educate the public about various aspects of the oil industry. Jonny Greenwood, whose musical compositions contributed greatly to the overall effect of Anderson's film, created a wholly new soundtrack for this nearly 100-year-old short. Another portion of the bonus disc showcases old movies, drawings, and still pictures from the time period juxtaposed with scenes from the film. This section illuminates the level of research done by the filmmakers. The collector's edition also includes the original theatrical trailer, as well as the absolutely brilliant teaser trailer. There are a smattering of deleted scenes, the longest being the "fishing sequence," wherein the audience sees Daniel Plainview and his crew attempt to recover materials lost down the well during drilling. Those who care about the remarkable craft and intelligence that went into this amazing film will find the two-disc edition as fascinating as the movie itself.

What a waste
on April 29, 2008

"There Will Be Blood" Why was this the title? Should have been "There Will Be Boredom" Very, very slow and way too long. I kept looking at the time and at one point I said "Man! another hour to go". The only thing that kept me from stopping this movie thirty minutes into, was that I hoped that it would get better. I wish that I could give it minus three stars. Now it's time for a Milkshake!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Funny???
on April 29, 2008
Posted by: drnotime
My first opinion watching was thinking it would be funny. Wrong! There are a few laughs, but not enough it say it is a comedy. It is a good movie and would have been better if I would have been viewing it has a drama instead of comedy. Do not expect to see a comedy, just get ready for a good drama.
What's great about it: Good story
What's not so great: Not funny
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worth a watch

Reminded me of the Blair Witch Project. I do not mind the shaky came, it gives the reality feel to the movie. This story was not meant for answers to why or where the monster came from or if how and when we stopped it. It was to tell/show the story of mainly four friends trying to survive the disaster at hand. I would like to give it three stars, but could not due to the long and drawn out scenes leading to the first explosion. I get that we needed to get to know the characters, but in my opinion it took way too long.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not as good as the others
on April 29, 2008

In my opinion this one is not as good as the other three. The airplane is was a little bit too crazy for me. This part here might be a spoiler so do not read any further: Where was his famous white t-shirt?
What's great about it: No too boring
What's not so great: Some ridiculous scenes
I would recommend this to a friend!

Rats are cooking! But it's all good. This is a very charming movie and the whole family will love it. If seen in Blu-ray format the images are awesome.
What's great about it: It's only make believe
What's not so great: A rat is cooking
I would recommend this to a friend!
