I will post about "Legion" when I get to class next week. It is really exciting.

The Book of Eli

Denzel Washington (Eli)

Gary Oldman (Carnegie)

Mila Kunis (Solara)

Malcolm McDowell (Lombardi)

Setting: Thirty years after the apocalypse

It was very confusing. Basically, A man named Eli (Denzel Washington) is heading west on foot. He comes to a town where Carnegie (Gary Oldman) and his group of henchmen are staying. They find out that Eli has a book, which Carnegie wants. After spending the night, Eli says that he is not going to sell the book to Carnegie. A fight erupts. It turns out that Eli is invincible. After laying waste to Carnegie's crew, Eli continues his way west. When he gets to San Francisco, he meets a man called Lombardi (Malcolm McDowell). He then starts translating the book. It is the Bible. I would give it a 5 for the scenery, but a 2 for the plot. For one thing, how did Solara make it out of the locked room. Another thing,who taught him braille? All and all, I would give it a 2 1/2 out of 5 stars. The End.

Daybreakers

Ethan Hawke (Edward Dalton)

Willem Dafoe (Elvis)

Sam Neill (Charles Bromley)

Claudia Karvan (Audrey Bennett)

Setting: 2018 America

It the future and everyone is a vampire except for a few that are "food suppliers" and a few roaming free. Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke) works for Charles Bromley (Sam Neill). They are vampires. As supplies dwindle, they try and come up with a blood substitute. Audrey (Claudia Karvan) and Elvis (Willem Dafoe) lead a band of human beings from their vampire stalkers. They are helped by Edward, who comes up with the "cure" for being a vampire. Not every one would enjoy the film, but I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars. Bloody good! The End.

Sherlock Holmes

Robert Downey, Jr. (Sherlock Holmes)

Jude Law (Dr. Watson)

Rachel McAdams (Irene Adler)

Mark Strong (Lord Blackwood)

Setting: 19th Century England

Let me see if I can get this out. It is quite involved. Basically, in the beginning, Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) catches a murderer named Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong). Blackwood is to be executed. On the day of his execution, Dr. Watson (Jude Law) certifies he is dead. But in fact, he is not. The high point is when Lord Blackwood is going to kill all the members of Parliament unless they swear allegiance to him. It is quite exciting. I am going to give it 3 1/2 out of 5 stars. The End.
