MOVIE REVIEW

In a year of competitive films, the movies keep getting more competitive. In the last week, I have seen a slew of quality films, each unique in their own way and difficult to compare. The latest is There Will Be Blood, easily one of the best, if not the best, movies of 2007. There Will Be Blood stars Daniel Day-Lewis and is all but a complete masterpiece.
