There Will Be Blood – Oh, Yes. There Will Be Blood!
Paul Thomas Anderson tends to make long, odd films that take a unique look at some aspect of its subject – hence a film about the porn business is really about family, for example – and There Will Be Blood is about many things, not all of them obvious.
In the Name of the King: Uwe Boll vs. Dungeon Siege!
Uwe Boll makes bad movies based on videogames – each more ambitious and each a more spectacular failure. Until now. In the Name of the King is Boll’s most ambitious film to date, but it is merely a failure – not a spectacular one.

Reality Series Gotti’s Way Ends on an Emotional, Redundant Note
One who is a fan of Hip Hop music will immediately recognize the name Irv Gotti. In the rare case of not knowing who this music biz impresario is, here is the skinny. Irv Gotti, whose birth name is Irving Lorenzo, rose to fame after forming a once bustling record label, Murder Inc. There, he was the overseer of the careers of Ja Rule, Ashanti and a number of others. Producing countless hits, Irv Gotti’s imprint became a household name.
Then, in 2003, Irv and his imprint ran into political trouble, when his offices were raided by the FBI due to allegations of a business association with a known drug kingpin. In late 2005, Irv was acquitted and went back to business as usual, so he thought.
Regaining platinum status, infinite hits and just mere respect was an uphill and arduous task for Gotti. For seven episodes, the reality series Gotti’s Way followed Irv Gotti on his quest to bring his record label and its flagship artist Ja Rule back to the top. Additionally, the series zoomed in on Irv’s efforts of balancing his career with a failing family life.
Michelle’s Picks for The Best and worst Films of 2007
