http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/12/26/THERE-WILL-BE-BLOOD-Scores-100-On-Metacritic.aspx As of December 25, 2007, THERE WILL BE BLOOD, the latest film by writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson (BOOGIE NIGHTS), and starring acting juggernaut Daniel Day Lewis, has scored a mind-blowing 100 percent on MetaCritic! Now granted, only six reviews have been factored into BLOOD&rsquo;s perfect score; however those reviews are coming from pretty big-name publications like NEWSWEEK, PREMIERE, VARIETY, and a small periodical you may have heard of, THE NEW YORKER. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/12/26/THERE-WILL-BE-BLOOD-Scores-100-On-Metacritic.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/12/26/THERE-WILL-BE-BLOOD-Scores-100-On-Metacritic.aspx#2967 As much as the movie wants to mean something and have something to say, it just doesn't work.
