Will Smith is one of my all time favorite actors. I loved him since I first saw him in Fresh Prince and have loved everything he’s been in since then. It seems I’m not the only one as the US release of I Am Legend has set a new record for the month.

The movie ripped through the box office earning an estimated $76.5 million in it’s opening weekend. This breaks the record held for four years by The Return Of The King and boasted a per-screen average of $21,000.

There’s no doubt that the attached trailer for The Dark Knight had something to do with the film’s success over the weekend. The IMAX screenings of I Am Legend had an even greater pull as it showed the first six minutes of the Batman film.

It seems that Will Smith can’t put a foot wrong. He’s fast becoming a stand-out star who know deserves to be put in the same category as Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp. This movie saw a new side of Big Willie. One without the wisecracks and the jokes. I Am Legend see’s Smith as a very deep and dark character which will only propel him higher in the ranks of all-time favourite actors.

My favorite comedies:

2001 Maniacs, 3000 Miles to Graceland, 40 Days and 40 Nights, 48 Hrs., The 4th Tenor, 50 First Dates, The 51st State, About a Boy, The Accidental Spy, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, The Addams Family, The Adventures of Pluto Nash, After School Special.

Will Smith has spoken out to defend pal Tom Cruise and Scientology.

The Men In Black actor said he had studied the religion - branded a “cult” by some critics - with Cruise.

Smith said Scientology was just like other religions, and he said that the Top Gun superstar pushed him to improve his life.

He said: “We push one another to be better.

“There’s a comprehension of what each of us through that everybody else can’t understand.

“I’ve studied Buddhism and Hinduism and I’ve studied Scientology through Tom.

“And nobody’s saying anything different!”

He went on: “I don’t think that because the word someone uses for ’spirit’ is ‘thetan’ that the definition becomes any different.”

Smith, 39, made his comments in the new issue of US magazine, Men’s Vogue. His new movie, I Am Legend, opens in cinemas in the States next month.

The Official Scientology Glossary defines ‘thetan’ as “the person himself - not his body or his name, the physical universe, his mind, or anything else”.
