There's truly something for everyone on this week's DVD Tuesday. Daniel Day-Lewis gives an Oscar-winning performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's oil epic There Will Be Blood; John C. Reilly plays a rags-to-riches rock star in the biopic parody Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story; Samuel L. Jackson plays a boxing legend turned homeless man in Resurrecting the Champ; a Scottish child befriends the Loch Ness monster in The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep; Ron Livingston plays a Vietnam vet who becomes a crusader for people with disabilities in Music Within; and Wes Bentley stalks Rachel Nichols inside a parking garage in P2.
Our pick for the week is the 2-Disc Special Edition of Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, featuring an eye-opening documentary about one of the film's scene-stealing stars.

Backstage in the Academy press room, Daniel Day-Lewis is discussing his Oscar® win for Best Actor in There Will Be Blood.
The quote from Blood "I drink your milkshake. I drink it up." has already become legendary, parodied on TV shows, websites and even on last night's Saturday Night Live.
The first question from press backstage was whether he is being offered many free milkshakes. The often serious Day-Lewis chuckled in response. "I'm very much looking forward to all the milkshakes I can drink for the next 25 years or so... "I am completely aware of [all the parodies and references to the quote]. I think it's fantastic."
When asked a semi-personal question about his own interests, Day-Lewis responded with a grin: "I'm not telling you... because it's none of your f***ing business."

There's an interesting trend occuring this Holiday season at the movie house - instead of the usual heartwarming, happy holiday fare, many moviegoers are opting for a distinctly different experience at the cinema... Blood Shed.
Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem debuted on Christmas Day and rounded up an impressive $9.5 on Day 1. Our own Brent Simon was a bit underwhelmed - be sure to check out his Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem review. The post-apocalyptic I Am Legend is holding strong, on pace to hit $175 million in total box office this weekend while Tim Burton's blood-soaked Sweeney Todd is also continuing to perform well at the box office.
Finally, Paul Thomas Anderson's latest film, the darkly operatic There Will Be Blood opened in very limited release this week, garnering a staggering per-screen average of nearly $34,000.

Day-Lewis will be receiving the Desert Palm Achievement award for his work in the upcoming There Will Be Blood, which has been getting a lot of awards buzz. Perhaps this will tip him over the edge for a Best Actor nod?
