THERE WILL BE BLOOD … IN ROCKFORD
2 comments January 23rd, 2008
Here’s a bit of good news for local movie fans. “There Will Be Blood,” the new movie from director Paul Thomas Anderson that nabbed eight Oscar nominations yesterday, will final be shown on Rockford screens. The acclaimed drama (a Best Picture contender) is slated to arrive at ShowPlace 16 starting Friday. Critics can’t say enough good things about this movie (and about Daniel Day Lewis’ central performance), so I’m going to make sure to catch it on the big screen before it gets replaced by “Good Luck Chuck II: Better Luck Next Time, Chuck.”
Other new arrivals in local theaters this week include the step-dancing drama “How She Move,” the movie spoof “Meet the Spartans,” the wasn’t-this-movie-already-released-under-the-title-”The Net” Untraceable” and the long-awaited (long-dreaded?) sequel to “Rambo: Part III,” the simply titled “Rambo.” If it’s half as violent as the trailer suggests, it’ll be the funniest movie of the year.Â
But please, if you want to see what is, by all accounts, a truly memorable movie, check out “There Will Be Blood.” I’ll report back here as soon as I’ve seen it to let you know how it is.
