The Book of Eli

I really appreciate unique stories and storytelling.  The Book of Eli certainly qualifies.  I knew nothing about it other than it stars Denzel Washington,  Your Mom and I really like him and I can't remember the last film we saw with him.  Ten minutes into the flick and I was hooked, and the conclusion is well worth the two hours of speculation.  I note that Denzel Washington produced the film, and it occurred to me that had Mel Gibson starred as Eli, the film could have been titled Mad Max IV: The Book of Eli.  Having said that, I though Denzel Washington was terrific.  The film also reminded me of The Road, another film we recently watched and really enjoyed.  Here's another interesting note ... Grandpa has been watching our Friday night movies with us.  Two films, both over two hours, that he never dozed a single time through are Kindgom of Heaven and The Book of Eli.  He found this very interesting and had no problems with the handful of F-bombs.  Five stars from this boy.
