Do you know what you fuckers? Fuck Off Film ruins my cinema going experience for the first 15 mins every time, because I've always seen all the trailers here. It used to be exciting - Oooh I wonder what's coming up? But now that I've seen all the trailers before on FOF it's boring and I talk through them. Mainly to annoy people who haven't seen them, because they should be reading this fucking Blog!

So Book of Eli. Well having seen the road, a lot of this film is very similar. There are grey scenes of concrete roadways that end abruptly, streets filled with the carcasses of cars, gangs on the rampage, houses in the middle of nowhere etc etc. But the look and feel of this is far more like that of a music video. Shots of Denzel looking cool like Kanye against the steely sky are common and when he unleashes that blade it often plays out like something on MTV! The trailer gives you a hint of the action you're in for, but you're very aware that the directors want to make it look cool as well as post apocalyptic, which was not the case in The Road.

The trailer didn't give me enough of the action I was most looking forward to though - that Mila Kunis action. She looks great and she acts great as an annoying post-apocalyptic teen. Although watch out for the scene where she gets locked up and starts whining like Meg Griffin! Under Denzel's wings she certainly learns a thing or two about looking cool.

Gary Oldman hams it up in classic Oldman bad-guy mode, as the man obsessed with the book that Denzel is carrying. I was reminded a bit of Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham actually. He's a bit
cheesy at times, but I think it works. As far as plots go, that's about it. Denzel has a book, Oldman wants it. Denzel ain't gonna let him have it. Kunis is somewhere in the middle, which isn't somewhere I'd want to be - even if Kunis was there. (Oh God I can't wait for Black Swan)

Overall I really enjoyed the film. It looks good, the action is good, the sentimental touches are nice (check out the iPod) and it's got a lot more hope in it that The Road. Having said that, it's a bit plot
light and has some pretty clichéd moments in it, unless you think it's asking some big questions about humanity and ... (I won't spoil it for you) - but I don't think it is. Go watch it and enjoy.

It's not the road, but it's much better than a back-alley out of 5.
