    Shame on you.
    Looked up my reviews of both:

    There Will Be Blood(2007)- Honestly, I expected more from Anderson. I loved Boogie Nights, but that was his imitation of Scorsese, and I'm not sure, but I'm guessing this was his imitation of Robert Altman, a director I've never been able to stand. This film is very long, and very short on dialogue. There aren't really any characters in it to speak of beyond Plainview and the preacher, and the preacher's part is miniscule at best. It's not really a biopic, not really a comprehensive depiction of capitalism or religion of the time. I can't really tell what it's supposed to be or why so many people seem to like it. I don't see a steadily maintained conflict throughout the film, and so most of the scenes remain undynamic and uninteresting to me for that reason. I guess you could say it's a movie about competition, a character study, or a film about obsession, but it's not a great example of any of those. Boogie Nights had a great soundtrack, but this film really surprised me by how quiet it was. People keep talking about how great Daniel Day Lewis' acting was in this. He won the Oscar for it, but I don't see what they are all raving about. His performance is decent but not great or even as memorable as his role in Gangs of New York.

    Moon(2009)- I was entertained throughout, but there were no surprises in this film. Seriously, I could tell what was going to happen just by watching the trailer. It was good for what it was though.

    Inception is okay and moderately entertaining, but is extremely overrated.
