I watched "There Will be Blood" last night. Some cheeky sod had snipped out a few minutes here and there,(I think about 10 minutes in total) but it was intact enough for evaluation purposes.
Daniel Day Lewis is, as ever, brilliant. His characters are just so damn believable and, in this case, eerily psychotic.

Time magazine ran the obligatory Valentine's article yesterday. It was pretty standard fare, but the the closing argument stood out from the dross:
There's nothing wrong, of course, with delighting in love and honoring friendship and stopping in the bleak midwinter to tickle the people we love. But it's also a good sign of psychosocial health if the day just saunters by and winks, and you feel no need to pay attention. The minute it feels like a duty, it has lost its purpose. "Love sought is good," Shakespeare observed, "but given unsought is better."
