“There Will Be Blood” is not at all what you would expect from the writer/director of such films as “Boogie Nights” and “Magnolia.” Paul Thomas Anderson has crafted an American epic … the heart of which is filled with greed, deception and hatred. I won’t lie to you. It is a unique and unusual movie. Pacing, tone and music are constantly shifting to keep you off balance. And it’s all held together by Daniel Day-Lewis’ blistering performance as Daniel Plainview … a man who’s heart is ultimately as black as the oil he takes from the ground.
