Post a CommentOne of the best actors of all time. How much has Book of Eli made so far?
John, forgive me for not commenting for some time on your articles. Please forgive me. I have about 120 favorites & try to at least view webpages. Let me say that I say Denzel Washington in, I believe, Africa once, and he was donating time and money to help in relief efforts. If I'm not mistaken, this Christian man has done so very much in donating his movie proceeds (at least portions) to help many different nations and the citizens who are in greatest need. I think God blessed this man so much with talent & now he is blessing others. He just seems to get better with each movie he makes. I love the guy.
