Review: 2010 must be another year of apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic films as The Book of Eli kicks of after a terrible war. Most don’t know or cannot remember life before the present times as folks are now brought to purchase bare necessities such as food and water with not money, but with articles of clothing, bottles of shampoo, and other such things. Eli (Denzel Washington) heads to the West coast on foot and meets Carnegie (Gary Oldman) in a rundown town. Carnegie has troops of illiterate men looking for a book. We soon discover that Eli has the long sought after book, a bible, that Carnegie is desperate to get his hands on. As Eli is ready to leave town and continue on his journey, Carnegie creates a shootout between his men and Eli. Eli takes most of them down except for one man, who lets Eli walk away. Solara’s (Mila Kunis) mother, Claudia (Jennifer Beals) believes that her daughter would be safer with Eli. As Eli and Solara leave the town’s water source, Eli traps her there and tells her that she’ll be safer there. On escaping her temporary prison, Solara fights with two men only to be saved by Eli who returns for her.
During the film Eli is tracked down by Carnegie who shoots him after conning Eli to hand over the book and bails back to the broken town with Solara. She escapes Carnegie and goes back to Eli to help him reach his destination, California. They get to the Golden Gate Bridge and row to Alcatraz where they find a group of people destined to preserve knowledge from a pre-apocalyptic world. Eli and Solara get inside and see the curator of the collection, Lombardi (Malcolm McDowell). I’ll stop here as to not give away anymore of the film. The movie was gritty and it’s good to see Denzel not playing the “nice” guy who gets stepped on. This film has one think (if capable) of what one might do if there truly were to be an apocalypse for those who believe in that. How would one handle life in a world with no monetary money? How would one react to fighting for everything, even water? Not a comfortable feeling but at times, a feeling that one should have none-the-less. The cast was well picked and they all did their job.
Another thought is all the violence that is once again surrounded by a book that supposedly brings peace and good news. If that’s not going back to the beginning of the birth of this book and the lies spread to make it a best seller, I don’t know what is. Murdered for the “good word.” Thanks but no thanks. Simply because of the undertones in this film, I give it 6 blades.
blades: 
"GMA" canceled Drake's free concert. Guess the Hansons couldn't make it.
Lohan's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, left her high and dry…. Well maybe not so high… or dry… Either way, when your own lawyer bails on you, then you know you're in trouble.
Virginia rapper, Vince P, is suing Kanye for ripping off "Stronger." For me the issue would be why are people acting like this is "breaking news?" The lawsuit was set into motion last year. Could this be the unveiling of a fraud or a disgruntled and underpaid ghost writer wanting revenge?
Kate Gosselin's PR reps denied a rumor that she would be recording an album with her children. That’s the best birthday gift anyone has given Jesus.
Snooki & JWoww are being sued for fighting in a Miami club at the tune of $75,000. Snooki needs to remember that not everyone wants to see her do a cartwheel.
"Apprentice," the non-celeb version, will return this Fall. Pro: No Stephen Baldwin; Con: Trump's hair returns.
Lindsay Lohan was given 90 days of jail time to be served at the same "over crowded celeb camp" that Paris Hilton was in and where Lohan spent a few seconds. I'm sure she'll be out in another blink of an eye – literally. That’s how Cali celebs roll.
I have actually grown to like the Jersey chics as they make me laugh at foolishness. I’m not as disgusted as when I see the Atlanta women (mainly two of them) act like fools. The two sisters (Dina and Caroline) go to bat for each other and those they care about, unless they believe them to be in the wrong. Jacqueline is the in-law that tries to get along with everyone, including the nut job that is Danielle. This woman believes that she is more attractive than she is (but if you don't promote yourself, no one else might) and she
When will Jill fall off the face of the Earth? Out of all the bitterness and cat fights she’s one of the worse at getting drama started only to poorly lie about not understanding why she is hated. Then there are her two minions who are only around to gossip. When they were on the outs with her they crapped on her rep and now they are sucking her toes. After telling Bethany to get lost, Jill now acts as though she is a victim and is shocked that Bethany is not on her knees calling her or begging her to criticize her.
