Weekend Movie Forecast: The Book of Eli or Labyrinth

For those who have been jonesin' for a new post-apocalyptic movie since the last one came out two weeks ago, Denzel has come to answer your prayers. In The Book of Eli, the Hughes Brothers (Dead Presidents, Menace II Society) tell the tale of a pseudo-Christ-badass Eli, who holds the key to humanity's salvation in the form of a book (the Good one), and his left and right fists. The only thing standing in his way is a man named Carnegie, played by everyone's favorite lunatic Gary Oldman.

Nick Pinkerton at The Village Voice says that "the rote splatter-violence has Denzel whirlwind lopping off heads through philistine hordes, sequences only good for insight into what PS3 games the Hugheses were playing in pre-production (screenwriter Gary Whitta's previous credits are, aptly, in video games). Nobody reads Pilgrim's Progress anymore, so I guess you take it where you can get it, but The Book of Eli's plastic parable isn't much more advanced than Insane Clown Posse theology."
