Anybody else tired of movies being nominated for Oscars when they're not in wide release? Me, too.
For weeks, There Will Be Blood has been heralded as a great flick. It's been nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay. The Oscars are less than a month away. So is the general public supposed to kneel at the feet of the Academy and the film critics and thank them for their review, or should the studios let us see the thing and make up our own mind?
In any event, There Will Be Blood has finally shown up at a theatre within fifty miles of me, so I will go and check it out tonight.
For my money, Michael Clayton was the best picture from last year (unlike There Will Be Blood, the studios let us see it in 2007). If you haven't seen Clayton yet, you still can, as it's been re-released because of Oscar hype.
You can catch my review of Michael Clayton here.
Here's a sneak peek of the film:
