I finally got to see "There Will Be Blood" this weekend. Best movie I've seen in a long, long, long, long time.

It's the kind of movie that doesn't get made much anymore - great acting, original storyline, fantastic cinematography, well-placed but not overdone musical score, etc.

Daniel Day-Lewis tops even himself in this one. A must-see, an instant classic.

Oh, and I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE! (My husband got really tired of hearing me repeat this phrase dramatically over the weekend).

I must be getting old.

I saw "No Country for Old Men" this weekend, and while I thought the acting and directing was terrific, I just couldn't get past the blood and guts.

And what was up with that ending?

I get what they're trying to say. I just didn't like how certain things weren't really resolved. I won't say much more for fear of spoiling it for those who haven't seen it.

For those who have seen the movie - what did you think? Was it worthy of the "best picture" Oscar?

Can't decide on a particular movie to rent? Several Web sites carry a list called "1,001 movies to see before you die," compiled by editor Steven Jay Schneider.

It's extremely rare that my husband and I watch a movie we both like, so I felt the need to share that "Fracture" is such a film.

I'm absolutely obsessed with the Walker Art Center's free "Music and Movies" series.

This year, the Walker will showcase "Sultry Nights: The Sounds of the City and the Films of Douglas Sirk"

"Zodiac," a well-acted, excellently produced and highly compelling drama, played second fiddle at the box office this weekend to a silly movie about guys falling off Harleys.
