- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsTom CruiseJason RobardsJulianne MooreAn epic mosaic of interrelated characters in search of love, forgiveness and meaning in the San Fernando Valley.My rating - 10/10. Magnolia is Paul Thomas Anderson's absolute magnum opus. It is a powerful, magnificent, bizarre, epic, powerful mosaic. It focuses on the human being and its sins, its search for forgiveness, its existence and its love. Magnolia is one of the best films in terms of portraying the human and its emotions. It is indeed an absolutely fantastic movie that patience to be seen again and again.
- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsDaniel Day-LewisPaul DanoCiarán HindsA story of family, religion, hatred, oil and madness, focusing on a turn-of-the-century prospector in the early days of the business.My rating - 10/10. There Will Be Blood is an incredible film on all possible levels. It contains a acting perfomance of the century - Daniel Day Lewis stunning effort is the best you can get when it comes to acting. Paul Thomas Anderson has created something that is so powerful and overwhelming that I feel redeemed after seeing the film. I'm not a believer, but the presence of God is in this movie. The last scene in the movie, is the best scene in movie history according to me, it is so powerful, so strong, so real, that I hardly know where to go when the movie is over. One of the best films from the 2000s, one of the best movies ever. There Will Be Blood is really something special.
- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsJoaquin PhoenixPhilip Seymour HoffmanAmy AdamsA Naval veteran arrives home from war unsettled and uncertain of his future - until he is tantalized by a cult and its charismatic leader.My rating - 9/10. The Master is a movie you either love or hate. I love it, I think it is truly wonderful and also one of the best PTA movies. It is slow and agonizing and if you can accept its slow tempo, it will really get to you. Both Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman does some of their greatest performances in The Master. Its cinematography is really something special to. This movies gets to you, if you let it, it is beautiful, in a strange way.
- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsMark WahlbergJulianne MooreBurt ReynoldsAn idealistic porn producer aspires to elevate his craft to an art when he discovers a hot young talent.My rating - 8/10. Cocain and pornography is always a winning combination. Boogie Nights is a really awesome movie (in lack of a better word), it is funny and dramatic and just a wonderful movie to watch whenever you feel like it. The acting, is like in every PTA movie, fantastic. Philip Seymour Hoffman does his funniest performance ever and Burt Reynolds and Mark Wahlberg does some of their best performances ever in Boogie Nights. I just love Boogie Nights and it is a movie I recommend to almost everyone, since it really is a public-pleaser.
- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsJoaquin PhoenixJosh BrolinOwen WilsonIn 1970, drug-fueled Los Angeles private investigator Larry "Doc" Sportello investigates the disappearance of a former girlfriend.
- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsAdam SandlerEmily WatsonPhilip Seymour HoffmanSocially frustrated Barry Egan calls a phone-sex line to curb his loneliness. Little does he know it will land him in deep trouble and will jeopardize his burgeoning romance with the mysterious Lena.My rating - 7/10. Who could believe Paul Thomas Anderson when he after Magnolia said that hes next movie where going to be a Adam Sandler comedy? This is the only PTA movie that can be classed as a comedy, yet it still is deadly serious. Punch-Drunk Love really is a hit in the face, you get so confused sometimes so you wonder if it really is not a surrealistic movie you are watching. Adam Sandler does his best performance ever in Punch-Drunk Love. I really like this movie, in some way it is a disturbing movie, but in all the pudding and love - how can you not love this movie?
- DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsPhilip Baker HallJohn C. ReillyGwyneth PaltrowA stranger mentors a young, troubled Reno gambler.My rating - 7/10. Paul Thomas Andersons first feature film. Hard Eight is not what PTA wanted it to be, since it was his first movie, he didn't have all the control over the movie that he wanted. It got shortened down and the name was changed before it was released. Yet it is still a great movie, the acting is at its top and the story-line is just wonderful, powerful and great.
