The Book of Eli

Starring Denzel Washington . . . it's the best film he's ever made IMO.

The story is set 30 years after a nuclear holocaust . . . there are very few survivors and most animal and plant life are dead too . . . Gary Oldman also stars in it along with Ray Stevenson (he was Pullo in the Rome series) . . . I've seen the film 4 times and love it . . . there's a twist at the end you'll like.

Re: The Book of Eli

Will look for that one. I'm a fan - actually met Denzel Washington when he was filming 'John Q'. The short scene where's he's at work, using a grinder and throwing lots of sparks and chatting with David Thornton, was shot at Babcock & Wilcox Canada (nuclear steam generators manufacturer). I worked in Public Relations at the time and so my boss and I met director Nick Cassavetes and others of the entourage as well as Denzel and David (who is married to Cyndi Lauper). They also agreed to a meet and greet for employees and 500 showed up! Quite a bit of excitement for all of us.

Thanks for the heads up on this one Denis, I watched it last night and enjoyed it.
A nice twist at the end.
