Todd’s Movie Blog

I am in a quandry. This weekend is the opening weekend for not only Will Smith’s I Am Legend, but also Morgan Spurlock’s What Would Jesus Buy. I do not make a lot of money from my day job so I am only able to see one film. But which one? I Am Legend is sure to be an action pack thrill ride of chases and escapes from zombie/vampires. On the other hand What Would Jesus Buy is sure to be a thought provoking examination of commercialism vs religion. Hmmm. Put like that, the answer seems pretty clear. Will Smith’s film will be around for weeks. Morgan Spurlock’s might only last the weekend. Thought provoking can’t compete with zombie/vampires. More’s the pity, I greatly enjoyed both his first film, Supersize Me and his TV show 30 Days. I’m sure this film will be just as entertaining and educational as his other projects. So, to the art theater I go this weekend.
