Daniel Day-Lewis

For the ones you haven't seen, you need to see In The Name Of The Father and The Boxer. Both are great, and so is DDL.

The Ballad Of Jack And Rose is really convoluted and pointless, and I suspect he only did the movie because his wife directed it. He wasn't bad in it tho.

I didn't see Nine because musicals for the most part are in re ed.

I've tried to make it through Nine twice now...to no avail. That movie's ing terrible (and I don't necessarily hate musicals either (Sweeney Todd, Moulin Rouge, etc...))

Yall REALLY have to watch In The Name Of The Father. That movie is absolutely amazing and he really turns in an amazing performance. I saw that movie shortly after it came out on video years and years ago and it made me a fan of his.

It was one of the HBO HD channels a few weeks ago but I didn't really watch it. I saw he was in it and was interested but it was already like in the middle so I didn't want to watch it and not understand it.

There Will Be Blood was ing great. He was such an awful person, but so was the kid that he s in the end. I was actually rooting for him in the end.

As for Gangs of New York. I didn't hate his character. But he was damn good in it too.

Is this a story about Sandusky?

tbh I loved Last of the Mohicans. Besides the story itself and the history behind it (which was portrayed brilliantly), the locations were breathtaking (Smokey Mountains, Chimney Rock) and the soundtrack remains one of my all-time favs.

Awesome movie and soundtrack. I own it on blu ray

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

There will be blood is one of my favorites of all time. The fact that it s on religion makes it especially good.

[Eli Sunday]

There Will Be Blood is complete character assassination. Godless filth.

There will be blood is one of my favorites of all time.

It's a great movie; I hate it when ignorant s say it's boring because they can't understand it.

I know your works. You are neither cold nor hot. So because you are lukewarm, I will spew you out of my mouth.

It made Ramonce Taylor look like Rasho I saaaaiiiiiiiiiiiidddddddddddd. I don't know what it is but they should have named it There Will Be Oil.

You do realize that Lincoln didn't give two s about slaves, he married a woman from a slave owning family, and that he only freed "your ancestors" for his own political gain, right?

[Fpoonsie]

Yep!

Yup, but it doesn't deter me from wanting to see this movie. In fact, they should try to exemplify that very point in the movie.

[BRHornet45]

Daniel Day-Lewis is one of those actors who was really great in a couple of films, but has been overrated to and back by many people. I like him as an actor and I'm not trying to bash him in anyway, but the fact is that too many people hug his nuts just because it is the trendy thing to do. After he won his first Academy Award for "My Left Foot" in 1989, he has only been in 9 films ever since (9 films in 22 years). That's a big reason, if not the main reason why many people overrate him because since he rarely makes movies anymore naturally people will tend to overrate anything he does. Most of his movies are dull, annoying, and drag on. Lets just look at those last 9 films since "My Left Foot" ....


2009: "Nine" - Crappy musical; nothing special about his performance


2007: "There Will Be Blood" - great film; great performance


2005: "The Ballad of Jack and Rose" - pure crap film; nothing special about his performance


2002: Gangs of New York - solid film; solid performance


1997: The Boxer - boring film; lame "been there, done that" performance


1996: The Crucible - complete and utter film; nothing special about his performance


1993: In the Name of the Father - solid film; solid, but terribly overrated performance


1993: The Age of Innocence - boring film; nothing special and boring performance


1992: The Last of the Mohicans - solid film; solid performance

How's the family, kris?

Don't you have a philanthropist to rob, or something?

[krispinwah]

Pretty good; just recently passed the 5 year mark of not abusing any of them.

Isn't that the truth?!! I was in 78209 Blockbuster with my attorney girl friend and she ran into another attorney looking to rent a movie. I/we suggested "There Will Be Blood". We ran into the guy at the same store a couple of weeks later and he made it a point to tell us he didn't like the movie, didn't get it and fell asleep watching it.

Stupid . Educated attorney and he didn't get it?

[mrsmaalox]

But a lot of times when people say they "don't get" a film doesn't necessarily mean they don't understand the premise or plot of that film; just that they don't connect with the appeal or the hype of that thing which everyone raves about.
