Is he better in Lincoln than "There will be blood?"

Did you not like him in There will be blood???
That's tuff. His performance was so powerful in both.
I loved it. That's why I asked. It would be hard to top his performance in "There will be blood". He made me believe that person existed and was alive.
Wow. Then I've got to see it.

Oh. For some reason I thought you were saying you didn't like it when I first read it.
Was like, whaaaaaaaa????
In fact I think There will be blood should have won the Oscars that year. No country for old men was just too mechanical.

The last film I watched was Take Shelter. It was enjoyably filled with portent and mystery.
I finally got around to watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I liked it in spite of James Franco.

DDL is just about the only good part of that movie. But no, that performance does not stack up against my brilliant avatar
That's probably good that you didn't like it. It means you're not as snobby as the Hollywood folks.

I'm actually probably a lot snobbier than the "Hollywood crowd" when it comes to film, it's my major and greatest passion. I've seen the past four winners at Sundance (among other films there) and I've liked them all to some degree, but Fruitvale was very mediocre, imo. There's nothing creative at all in any of the cinematography, editing, or mise en scene. The writing was pretty poor at times in terms of character development, dialogue, and even basic story structure. Even the acting was plain awkward here and there...but maybe that's because of the dialogue they were working with...

I'm sure you'll figure it out.
OH, so it is from There Will Be Blood. The way you said it made it sounded like it's another movie.
OK - so you're saying his performance in Lincoln is not as good as in TWBB? Yeah, I think it'll be hard to top TWBB just because of the complexity of character, etc. Also it wasn't restricted to 1 historical person, so he could be quite free with it and still get away with it.
It's still one of my most favourite movie of all time. Not just because of his acting though, I thought the movie had great "feel". It came together better as a whole than No Country for old men, IMO.

It's a suggestion if you like tigers, realistic natural views and of course, giant waves.
I liked it since my ancestors are from the Black Sea.

Rent it out bro, it's a great movie IMO. Also if you like movies with the Western feel to it. Also I believe it's Daniel Day Lewis' top performance.
