• Christian themes abound in ‘Book of Eli’

Hollywood seems obsessed with the end of the world. “The Book of Eli,” the latest post?apocalyptic flick following in the footsteps of films like “2012” (2009), is designed specifically to alarm audiences with its tale of a dystopian future.Familiar Southwest scenery infused with CG destruction gives rise to the Hughes brothers’ view of a world ravaged by a religious war 30 years past.
