Awards Schma-wards

So a few months ago, I was at the lovely business of Hollywood Video where I went to go rent a movie. Every time I go there, they are having epic sales like 4 movies for $20, 3 for $9.99, or other deals that make it so you might as well buy them instead of rent them. So on one of the trips I made there, I purchased There Will Be Blood because it was highly reviewed by all the critics and I heard many good things about it.

Last night, Charlie, Austin, and I were bored so we popped it in to kill some time before attempting to sleep. It was about a man in the early 1900's who was trying to make a living by digging for oil.

It started of slow.

And finished that way.

I wouldn't say it was the worst movie I've ever seen, but I really don't feel it was very good at all. It was given so much hype and I just disagree with all the reviews for it. Hopefully the next movie I buy because of critical acclimation actually delivers.
