Book Of Eli Movie Review By:Sandwichjohn I had high hopes for Book of Eli, as I do for any Denzel Washington film, and while it didn’t quite live up to my high hopes it was still a good film. Denzel Washington stars as Eli, the protector of the last known copy of a certain book. It has been 31 years since “the flash” and subsequent war destroyed the world as we know it. The world now is a desolate waste land where water is scarce and books are scarcer. Gary Oldman stars as Carnegie, a corrupted mayor in a makeshift town that Eli wanders into. Carnegie has become obsessed with finding a copy of the book, he believes the words of the book have great power and that he could become a great leader with it. Mila Kunis stars as Solara, the daughter of Carnegie’s companion, who follows Eli after he escapes from the town. The action sequences were really well done. Towards the beginning of the film there was a great action sequence when Eli encounters some scavengers trying to rob him. Another

Karate Kid Remake Scores Huge On Test Screening I don't care how high the movie scores it will never compare to the original film. Generation Xers may have bemoaned the redo of their 1984 childhood favorite The Karate Kid (I know I did) with none other than silver spooner Jaden Smith taking on the Ralph Macchio role. But, perhaps the results from Sony’s early test screening of the movie from director Harold Zwart (The Pink Panther) will win converts to rejiggering Mr. Miyagi’s karate-lessons-hidden-in-manual labor. (Jackie Chan takes on the Wax on, Wax off mentor role.) The studio tells EW that the film scored just below Sony’s highest research screening ever, 2005’s Hitch, which ironically starred Jaden Smith’s dad Will, the last reigning movie star. With positive scores in the 97th percentile, the movie, which doesn’t open until June 11, might be one of those films that outdoes everyone’s expectations. Not that it’s likely to match Hitch’s gross, but that film did earn close to $

Tekken Movie Trailer The first trailer for the upcoming Movie Tekken . The movie is based on the early 90's video game that everyone was crazy for and has now been made into a film. I have never been much of a video game made into a movie fan. I know you all remember Street Fighter ." But the movie doesn't look half bad from the trailer. Not a film I am going to go rush out to see but maybe something when there is absolutely nothing to do. Also the person who put the the trailer is not a fan of /Films. It pops up threw out the trailer. In the year of 2039, after World Wars destroy much of civilization as we know it, territories are no longer run by governments, but by corporations; the mightiest of which is the Mishima Zaibatsu. In order to keep the masses down, Mishima sponsors the King of Iron Fist Tournament, or Tekken, in which fighters battle until one is left standing, who in turn will receive a lifetime of stardom and wealth. We are introduced to this violent world

Bill Murray Added To The Cast Of Passion Play Even as Mitch Glazer continues shooting his new drama Passion Play, there are changes afoot as Bill Murray has been added to the cast. According to Production Weekly , Murray is taking over the role of dangerous gangster Happy Shannon in the film, which already boasts the likes of Megan Fox, Mickey Rourke and Kelly Lynch. Fox plays an angel - no, really - who Rourke's down-on-his-luck trumpet player saves from Murray's mobster. And he, in return, finds redemption in her. The cameras are cranking even now in New Mexico and the movie should arrive later in the year, assuming it nabs a distribution deal over here. But with Rourke, Fox and now Murray in the cast, surely someone will pick it up… Please Leave A Comment- Source- Empire

Jenna Fischer Get A "Hall Pass" From Farrelly Brothers Jenna Fischer is in negotiations to star as Owen Wilson's wife in "Hall Pass," a New Line comedy being directed by the Farrelly brothers. The story centers on a married couple in which the wife gives her husband a "hall pass," a free ticket to engage in extramarital encounters. Jason Sudeikis is on board as the guy's best friend, who also gets a free pass from his wife (still to be cast). Things get complicated when the wives also begin exercising their "hall pass" power. Pete Jones wrote the spec, which was rewritten by Kevin Barnett and Peter and Bobby Farrelly. The Farrellys also are producing with their Conundrum Entertainment partner Bradley Thomas. The movie begins production Feb. 23 in Atlanta, which will substitute for New England. Fischer, best known as Pam Beesly on NBC's "The Office," has feature comedies "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" and "B

Can Mel Gibson Still Carry A Film? I sure think so, from what I have seen of the film it looks great. There was that name -- Mel Gibson -- and then the man himself, grim-set face and trenchcoated torso coming toward you in an advertisement for a major studio release. The pitch and the persona were familiar, but it still felt odd, like a good friend you had a falling-out with awhile back who suddenly reappears on your Facebook wall. How do you respond? Warner Bros. is betting that audiences will respond with a cheery "Welcome back!" and solid opening-weekend attendance when "Darkness" opens Jan. 29. Gibson is returning to the big screen after a seven-year absence -- a century in movie-star years -- and studio marketing is aimed squarely at his old fan base. In TV and print ads, it's Gibson alone -- purposeful, vengeful, unstoppable -- a good guy who will bloody the guilty with the righteous weapons of justice. But how likely is renewed success for the embattled

Where's Conan The Barbarian Hiding? Looks like they may have found their guys, well at least narrowing them down. Dimbort's departure would come as Millennium gets close to a production start on its biggest bet yet. That’s Conan, the rebirth of the Robert E. Howard-created barbarian famously played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Director Marcus Nispel is on track to start production March 15 in Bulgaria — if they can find the right barbarian. Last weekend, it seemed like things came down to two buff finalists: Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen in the Twilight Saga sequels New Moon and Eclipse), and Jason Momoa (Ronon Dex in the TV series Stargate: Atlantis). Suddenly, Millennium and partner Lionsgate decided today to look at another unnamed but better established actor before deciding. On the executive front, Dimbort would be tough to replace. While Lerner and his shaggy white head of hair is the front man, it's Dimbort’s presale skills that get the films funded. And while the Millen

Teddy Pendergrass Dies At Age Of 59 Singer Teddy Pendergrass, the R&B love man whose chart-topping career was slowed but not stopped by a devastating car accident, died Wednesday. He was 59. His son, Teddy Pendergrass II, said his father died in a hospital in suburban Philadelphia. The singer underwent colon cancer surgery eight months ago . Philly native Pendergrass, like many of the great soul singers of his generation, began singing in church. Trained as a drummer, he began supporting vocalist Harold Melvin in 1969. Melvin reconstituted his vocal group the Blue Notes the following year with Pendergrass as lead singer. In 1971, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes were signed to Philadelphia International, the hometown label run by producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff and distributed by CBS. The association spawned a run of sleek, opulently orchestrated R&B hits featuring Pendergrass' virile vocals; these included the No. 1 hits "If You Don't Know Me By Now," &q
