He's such a worthy actor.
He'd never lower himself to doing a filthy Marvel movie.

Without hesitation, I went straight for There Will Be Blood.
Not only is it a fascinating film, but his performance is amazing.

I mean, "I drink your milkshake" is an amazing scene, but it's the journey there that makes it so intense.

Love Daniel Day Lewis. First thing I saw him in was the brilliant In The Name Of The Father ... but There Will Be Blood has to be my pick too. He's a screen presence like no one else.

There will be blood. He plays such a crazed dangerous man that is difficult to watch. I don't even think DeNiro in his prime could have done it better.

I haven't seen There Will Be Blood because I heard it wasn't a horror film and so it has no business having that name.

It's a transfusion ward drama.

It's a South-Central L.A. gang war drama.

It's a black pudding origin story.
