Point I Fell Asleep: 2:10 out of 2:38 (82%)
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469494/
This was a best picture nominee for the Oscars in 2008. And for the first 2:10 hrs, it was really good. I thought the movie was going to be similar to "Gangs of New York" with lots of fighting, but it turned out to be a story about an oil man's uprising. I'm sure there was a religious metaphor too, but that clearly went over my head. Daniel Day-Lewis gave a REALLY good performance. When I was watching him, I had forgotten who took home Best Actor, but he definitely deserved it. The soundtrack stood out as well. The only gripe I had was that the ending was kind of weird; it just felt rushed and abrupt. Nevertheless, I do recommend this movie if you haven't seen it yet.
