Any moviegoers disappointed this Thanksgiving to discover that John Hillcoat's bleak, challenging movie adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road isn't the thrilling romantic-comedy action spectacular advertised in its trailer might do well to check out the Hughes Brothers' upcoming Book of Eli, starring Denzel Washington as a handsome, ass-kicking apocalypse survivor, beating up dudes all across America on a quest to save humankind. Unlike the unexplained world-ending event that precedes the action in Road, Eli's Armageddon will be explicitly blamed on the sun's explosion. Plus, there's a still-alive love interest, a creepy-acting Gary Oldman, a hard-rocking soundtrack, and no obnoxiously helpless 10-year-olds to slow down the action. We'll probably skip this one.
