SORRY IT'S ANOTHER OFFICE POST... but I just couldn't resist.

Michael Gary Scott reviews There Will Be Blood.


This month I'll be reviewing a movie called "There Will Be Blood" which is not a horror film even though the title clearly states that it should be. Don't get fooled like I did. The movie's about oil. It stars newcomer Daniel Dale Uis as an oil farmer who gets rich buying a goat farm from some religious people. This may not be a completely fair review because the sound was clearly broken for the entire movie and it made the music sound like a bunch of cows dying. I complained to the manager but he lied and told me that the music was supposed to sound like that. Really, Mr. Manager? Somebody would purposely make that their soundtrack? I'm not an expert, but I've seen a ton of movies and I really don't think that's the case here.
Even if the music was perfect, I should let you know that this movie made no sense. There was barely any talking and when they were talking, you couldn't even figure out what they were saying. It seemed like a foreign film, but I know they were talking in English because I recognized the words they were using. They just made no sense. You'd be much better off staying at home and turning on the Spanish channel because you'd probably understand that a lot more and at least you get to see people trip and fall a lot, which is always funny.
If you like confusing movies about oil and history, "There Will Be Blood" is for you. If you prefer movies that you might actually enjoy, go see "Alvin and the Chipmunks." I hear it's hysterical.

What can I say? It's a merging of two of the greatest things of 2007. :)
