Now he shares that unhealthy obsession with you. From Hollywood hits to Japanese obscurities, from Oscar night to the summer season, he’s got movies on the brain — and on this blog.

In a way, it's more exciting to see a more you might love or hate than one you know you'll love. (Though, given my track record with PTA, I think I'll love it.) You should see HARD EIGHT -- it's a low-key drama with plenty of trademark PTA moments and great performances from John C. Reilly, Philip Baker Hall, Sam Jackson and (in a small role) Philip Seymour Hoffman. Actually, Gwyneth Paltrow's not too bad either. I’m dying to see it.

I am really looking forward to seeing it again. But it is a movie that is definitely not for everyone, many people will probably not like it or find it boring. I would agree with a lot of the the parallels to Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day Lewis) and Charles Foster Kane that I have read about. I think it is P.T. Anderson's best film yet. Although i have not seen Hard Eight, i thought it wa better than Boogie Nights and Punch Drunk Love, I did not really care for Magnolia. I hope you enjoy it, and even if you don't, there is no way you will not enjoy Daniel Day Lewis' performance in it. A really fantastic film visually with many modern day comparisons with religion, greed, and the whole oil fiasco we are experiencing now. Yeah and it is at the five buck club.
