Kevin Smith Films

Ok, I was going to write a review on every Kevin Smith film until I realised that there is one I have never seen, and one I have only seen but once. This may prove a problem, but I will still try my best.

Clerks
This is the one I have not seen, apart from about 10 minutes which I downloaded before it started pissing me off and I canceled it.
Well, it starts off with Dante getting up, and opening up the Quick-Stop... thats all I've seen. Perhaps someone else could write a review for this film.

Mallrats
I love this film. It is about Brodie (Jason Lee) and T.S. (Jeremy London) who happen to both get dumped on the same morning, so they meet up and go to the mall! This film is hilarious, yet so simple. There is one scene near the very end, where two cops are holding someone... quality.

Chasing Amy
I saw this once, a long time ago. As far as I remember it was pretty funny.

Dogma
The more you watch this film, the more you will remember how good it was the first few times. The jokes get really old, actually the whole idea gets really old. It is about two angels (Ben Affleck & Matt Damon) who have been cast from heaven, and think they have found a way "back home." If you have not yet seen this movie, rent it out or something. Don't buy it, because after a few times it will not be worth it any more.

Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
If you like immature jokes, this film is for you. It is about Jay & Silent Bob's quest to stop Miramax recording a film about their alter-egos Bluntman & Chronic. There are many humerous moments which will have most teenagers in stitches while most conservative adults would be holding back, trying not to smile, saying things like "that is disgusting" and "how could they show that on TV." Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back is, in my opinion, not as good as Mallrats, but it is still worth watching.

Kevin Smith seems like a cool guy to hang out with. I've only seen Jay and Silent Bob strike back (I've got the DVD) but so far he seems funny. The humor is mostly for stoners though, it does make me laugh a lot too.
I'm definetly going to see mallrats now, thanks for the reccomendation.

Don't read the next line if you haven't seen Clerks. The funniest thing in that movie: "Would you like some making fuck? BERSEEEERKER!"

JaSBSB isn't a Kevin Smith film, it's a Jay and Silent Bob film. And that makes a lot of difference.

Making necrophilia funny. ;D. And Mallrats is really funny too... Anyone ever seen the animated clerks episodes. Those are pretty funny... ~Raven~

Are they really THAT funny?

And by the way... You do know that even if it's a Jay and Silent Bob film, it's still a Kevin Smith film because Kevin Smith is Silent Bob...

Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back is a film which refers to the other four films in the series a lot, so the more Kevin Smith films you have seen the more you will enjoy the movie. This makes it different from the other Kevin Smith movies, but it is still considered a Kevin Smith movie as he directed it and starred in it like he did with the other four.

Nowhere near his style.
