The Lacaille 8760 Affair:: Day 23

Another great adventure! Today Nick and I headed down to the Vista Theatre on Sunset Blvd to see There Will Be Blood. We had both been wanting to check it out, but after having it recommended by Gordy Grundy, Nick, with renewed fervor, said today was the day.

This is the only theatre in California that we have been to, and probably the only one we will ever go to, barring some unforseen circumstance. Typical theatres around here are apporimately $12 or $13 per person and the pair of us are both staunchly against ever paying out such exorbitance. The Vista is both cool AND cheap, a winning combination. The matinees are only $5 and that's a bargin even in the sticks where I come from.

The catch is they only play one movie at a time, which is ultimately for the best or we'd be there all the time.

If you haven't seen There Will Be Blood, or at least heard about it...you may or maynot be living under a rock. I don't mean to offend, but even we knew about this film and we don't have TV or the newspaper. We don't hear about much haha. This movie is raking in awards left and right and being raved about by everyone. Even a kid at The One Dollar Bookstore was talking about it.

Well, it really was, just that good. The intensity, anxiety and drama were spilling off the screen, flooding the audience, practically drowning us in the very oil that washed over the lives of every character in the film. The music was profound, the acting was perfection and the direction, precision. Even if this is not your kind film, which it really is not mine, you become immersed and involved and in the end it garners your respect.

At least rent it when it comes out if you don't see it in theatres.

And for my next trick, I will become a movie critic ~_^

Until Tomorrow.

Cheers.
