DVD Tuesday: Denzel!
There are few actors that I will watch just to watch. Even if the movie is bad, I'll still dutifully buy my ticket, buy my popcorn and relax into the row on the rail at the Landmark. Denzel Washington is one of those actors. The Book of Eli is not a great film, but it is a solid piece of entertainment that is worth your rental or purchase dollars. Who knew that Unthinkable would cause such controversy? Michael Cera really -- REALLY -- needs to find different roles. He was perfect in Superbad and Arrested Development, but the nebbish thing is getting very old. Who would buy a Kendra Wilkinson DVD? I mean, other than this one?
