Live Blog: Academy Award Winners 2007

The 80th Annual Academy Awards ceremony will be broadcast live on ABC tonight starting at 5pm PT/8pm ET -- check back here OFTEN as we update this post with the list of winners.

If we aren't bored to tears, we'll also do some live blogging of the event as well. Let's see what happens. [UPDATE: Yes, we're live blogging the whole damn night.] So far, the E! Red Carpet pre-show has been cringe-inducing, except for the James McAvoy interview. Seriously, Ryan Seacrest, how is he any better than Joan Rivers? Argh, now that moron just took Amy Adams' tiny handbag, which probably cost thousands of dollars and is on loan from some big-named designer, and is like swinging it in front of the camera to Amy Adams' horror.

This is gonna be a long night...continue reading this article at Geeks of Doom!

Movie Review: There Will Be Blood

There Will Be Blood
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson
Starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Paul Dano
Rated R
Release date: Jan. 11, 2008 (wide)

"Ladies and gentlemen... I've traveled over half our state to be here tonight. I couldn't get away sooner because my new well was coming in at Coyote Hills and I had to see about it. That well is now flowing at two thousand barrels and it's paying me an income of five thousand dollars a week. I have two others drilling and I have sixteen producing at Antelope. So, ladies and gentlemen... if I say I'm an oil man you will agree.

You have a great chance here, but bear in mind, you can lose it all if you're not careful. Out of all men that beg for a chance to drill your lots, maybe one in twenty will be oilmen; the rest will be speculators -- men trying to get between you and the oilmen -- to get some of the money that ought by rights come to you. Even if you find one that has money, and means to drill, he'll maybe know nothing about drilling and he'll have to hire out the job on contract, and then you're depending on a contractor that's trying to rush the job through so he can get another contract just as quick as he can. That is the way this works."

That is the opening dialogue of the movie by oil man, Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis). It comes no less than 15 minutes into the picture and tells us all we really need to know about the man. But we don't know this to be fact until the end of the film, more than two hours later...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!
