I'm glad I didn't see the movie until 2008. Otherwise "Hot Fuzz" may very well have been displaced as my favourite movie of 2007. I am astonished that "No Country For Old Men" won best picture over this, I really am. I liked "No Country", but it was disposable entertainment. Fun story, move on, largely forgettable for the most part.

"There Will Be Blood" has stayed with me more than any movie I've seen in a long time. It has seeped into my subconcious and I find myself thinking about it a lot. The story, Day-Lewis' stunning performance etc... I keep talking about the movie so much that my six year old son wants to see it, despite my repeated assurances he would find it INCREDIBLY boring.

Definitely buying this on release day. (Assuming I can find the two disker, which around where I live isn't always a possibility, and this not the sort of film most of the slack jawed yokels around here would be into.)

Thanks for the review.

Oh yeah, and throw in another vote for the cover. Wonderfully artistic.
