Film Reviews:

Clerks - "Clerks" isn't "all that." It probably was in 1994. But now, just 5 years later, it seems dated, sophomoric and pretentious. Perhaps because it's been ripped off so much. Then again, it began by ripping off. Filmmaker Kevin Smith thanks Hal Hartley at the end of the film. And rightly so. Smith takes Hartley's New York urban hyper reality and dumbs it down to New Jersey Slacker (Linklater is thanked also) shit, fart, sex, and drug jokes. It's juvenile. Funny, at several intervals, but juvenile.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - For everyone who thought that "Mallrats" was the biggest piece of shit that Kevin Smith ever made.

Mallrats - Make a cheapie but cool indie film, get Universal to give you millions and still come away with an interesting film. Sure, it's probably a failure, but "Mallrats" has a lot going for it. It may not be as clever and as amusing as "Clerks," but it has a sort of glitzy charm.

Chasing Amy - Jesus Christ. If there is a better "mainstream" film about the nature of American sexuality in the 1990's, I'd like to see it. This is the film to end all films. Why would anyone even attempt to make another film about relationships after this?

Dogma - In case I have failed to mention it prior: I love Jason Mewes. I got a crush like a teenage bitch going here. And, much to my delight and to the delight of the several million heterosexual males who dig them, the rockus duo of Jay and Silent Bob are all over "Dogma." The are in at least 2/3 of the film. It's great fun. It's easy to see now why Smith had so much trouble getting "Dogma" made directly after "Clerks." The powers-that-be hated Mewes (idiots) and to finance "Dogma" would be to make Mewes a major star. He's great here.
