The Book of ELI.

Heard of this book before? :)

I don't know if there's such a book called The Book of ELI but I do know of a movie.

Interested? :)

I went to watch this show on a Monday night (22-02-2010), got the tickets for free courtesy of the Malaysian TODAY newspaper. :)

Synopsis

Eli (Denzel Washington) has been on a journey for 30 years, walking west across America after a cataclysmic war that turned the earth into a total wasteland. The world has become a lawless civilization where people must kill or be killed. The barren roads belong to gangs of cutthroats who rob and kill for water, a pair of shoes, a lighter, or just for fun. Eli is a peaceful man who only acts in self defense, and becomes a warrior with unbelievable killing skills when he is challenged. After the war and the "Big Flash", Eli was guided by a higher power to a hidden book and given the task of protecting the book and taking it to its final destination. Eli guards the book with his life, because he knows that the book is the only hope that humanity has for its future.

Rating : 8/10

It's really a good movie! Makes one wonders how powerful GOD can be, be you a Christian, Buddhist or whatever religion. Plus this is like how the Holy Bible came about. I enjoyed the show and a few familiar names popped up.

Sad, is I don't know the main actor Denzel Washington. You might seen him in the movie Taking Pelham 1, 2, 3, for which I did not watch.

Mila Kunis is a familiar name and a familiar face. Although I have seen her once in movies, but I remember her. You might have seen her in the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall as the hotel counter girl.

Next would be the bad guy of the movie, Carnegie acted by Gary Oldman. No wonder his name sounds so familiar as well as his face. He acted in Harry Potter as Sirius Black! (Yes I AM a Harry Potter fan.) As well as Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. :)

Last but not least is one person that you should always take note of as the movies he produces is totally AWESOME. So far, not one movie he produces is a let down. He's none other than the famous Jerry Bruckheimer. I'm not kidding! Movies like Pirates of the Caribbean is a hit! Others like Confessions of a Shopaholic is GOOD as well as National Treasure. Even G-Force the movie! Upcoming movie would be the Prince of Persia. Now that, is a MUST watch!

This might be different than what I normally write for the movies I have watched. Something new. :)

Suddenly I realized that I have TONS of movies that I have yet to watch and with more coming up, I don't know how to clear my list.
