Blue Like Jazz - The Movie!

So did you see "Blue Like Jazz" this weekend?

The Christian-ish film based on the book by Donald Miller and directed by one of my personal heroes from my alternative-Christian-music youth, Steve Taylor, opened this weekend in selected cities. It is still playing here in Naperville this week, so if you missed your chance this weekend, don't miss out before Friday movie-changeover. It's hard to know if a small indie film like this can stay in theatres long.

If you've seen it, I would love to assemble some of your reactions to it for an upcoming Pop Culture Pulpit podcast - so let me know what you liked, what you didn't like, had you read the book prior, how did it compare, and all that great stuff! Then you can hear my thoughts on the film as I incorporate your reactions to it on the podcast.

Thanks everyone! Have a great week!

Thought it was great! Having a couple losties in the movie lended some credibility to the acting. Special effects, if you can call them that, did not help the film. Super cheese. The final scene in the confessional was awesome. Loved the ending!

One of my favorite movies is Garden State, saw some similarities to that. One of my favorite negative reviews of the movie was "Blue Like Jazz wants to do for Jesus what Garden State did for The Shins."
