The Book of Eli



After seeing The Book of Eli I'm convinced that Denzel Washington will never be in a sub-par movie for the rest of his career. The guy does get $20 million a movie, so I"m sure he doesn't get many serious offers from people trying to make wishy washy movies.

Anyways, the movie also starred Gary Oldman and Mila Kunis, who both put on great performances. Kunis is steadily becoming a very viable leading lady (There were moans and groans of approval in the theater when she first appeared on screen). She has definitely come a long way from her days on That 70's Show.

The movie starts off a little slow, but I don't think many people minded with Washington being as enrapturing as he is. Before long though things pick up and the end result is a clever screenplay full of gunfights, gruesome machete slayings, a few funny lines, and an unexpected twist ending.
