Daniel Craig: Hot or not?

I saw the new Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, on Friday night. I thought Casino Royale was better, as this plot was a little “meh”. Also, tried to paint the oil industry as evil, again. Not cool. Nevertheless, the movie is entertaining as it contained plenty of fighting, explosions, and Daniel Craig. However, while discussing [...]

Meh. At least David Duchovny is still hot. I can’t believe he’s 47, though. When did that happen?! Just to illustrate the fact.

The history behind “I drink your milkshake”

From an LA Weekly interview with PT Anderson: There Will Be Blood becomes more loquacious as it progresses, however, culminating in a histrionic monologue in which Plainview explains the concept of “drainage”— the way oil under a given piece of land can be drawn out by the wells on surrounding lots — by likening it [...]

SNL: I Drink Your Milkshake

An oilman searching for the perfect milkshake. Indeed, a man after my own heart. This skit from last week’s episode of Saturday Night Live (permanent link if above YouTube video doesn’t work) is actually quite funny, and Bill Hader makes a great Daniel Plainview. I suppose it helps if you’ve seen There Will Be Blood [...]

Arrested Development movie?

If this is indeed true, I will be the happiest person alive when this movie opens: Jason Bateman has just confirmed to me that the creative minds behind Arrested Development (Mitch Hurwitz and Ron Howard) have put the wheels in motion toward a major motion picture of the Fox TV comedy so many of us [...]

“Paul Thomas Anderson becomes California’s certified cinematic poet laureate with “There Will Be Blood,” his masterful account of the state’s oil boom at the turn of the century.” – WP There Will Be Blood opened at the E Street Theatre here in DC, and I had a chance to see it over the weekend (and [...]

Charlie Wilson’s War

Here’s another movie to watch this holiday season (after you’ve seen There Will Be Blood, of course): Charlie Wilson’s War is based on George Crile’s book of the same name, which details the exploits of Congressman Charlie Wilson, a man who, in between cavorting in hot tubs with strippers and doing lines of coke, occasionally [...]

“There Will Be Blood” trailer

Saw “3:10 to Yuma” last night…great movie. “There Will Be Blood”, P.T. Anderson’s upcoming film that I am reeeeeally looking forward to, was one of the trailers. It looks quite brilliant.

A movie to look forward to: “There Will Be Blood”

While the rest of America drools over the Spiderman 3 and Simpsons trailers (whatev), I’ve been tracking the progress of P.T. Anderson’s (Boogie Nights, Punch Drunk Love) latest film, “There Will Be Blood.” Slated to open in October/November 2007 (gawwdaaamn so far away), “There Will Be Blood” is loosely adapted from Upton Sinclair’s 1927 novel, [...]
