With a track record that includes Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love, and There Will Be Blood (in addition to Hard Eight, which I have not seen yet but … Continue reading →

Magnolia (1999) — I really don’t know what all to say about Magnolia without going through every member of the cast and crew and just gushing with praise.
