The Darjeeling Limited (review by Alison Atkinson-Philips, Transit Lounge)
The film's title refers to the name of a train running through India on which three brothers come together for a "spiritual quest". The Darjeeling Limited is quirky and at times poignant. It says a lot about spirit, journeys and coming home.
There will be Blood (review by Steve Parker, Thinking Christian)
Paul Thomas Anderson's epic saga, There Will Be Blood, is the must see movie of the year so far - in fact, it is the best movie to hit our screens for many years. Based on Upton Sinclair's novel, Oil!, it's a brilliant story touching on an incredible range of themes. The clash of faith vs greed provides an intense motif throughout the story supported by a host of subplots that deal with family, relationships, friendship, religion, commercialism, corruption, and the pursuit of the American dream. Ultimately, both religion (especially that which is egocentric, controlling, and self-aggrandizing) and greed (that has no regard for human love or relationships) are shown to have too great a price to pay. It is a riveting look into the depths of two dark souls.
