Another Gushernew
Let me state this plainly: There is no stronger entry for the Best American Movie of 2007 than Paul Thomas Anderson's showy, jagged, complex There Will Be Blood.

The Art of Lyingnew
Much of the critical response to the film adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel, Atonement, has focused on the film's epic scope and the intensely but tragically romantic story it tells. There has even been some comparison with James Cameron's Titanic.
