There Will Be Blood - Movie 23

Last weekend we ventured out in the below zero weather to see There Will Be Blood. Good movie, but pretty darned intense. It's based on a book by Upton Sinclair and you can't beat ol' Upton for a class A critique of the excesses of capitalism (and in this movie faith healing religion too). While we like a good rant as well as the next guy we have to admit being pretty worn out by the end of the movie! And would it have killed them to throw in a female character or two?
