Blu-Ray Review: Beloved Kevin Smith Films Released in High Definition

23 November 2009 3:38 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – Very few filmmakers provoke the same kind of passionate adoration as the sometimes-great Kevin Smith, a man who has such a following that he can sell out large theaters filled with people who merely want to ask him questions for hours. Smith is a charismatic, interesting, clever filmmaker and his best work reflect his gregarious personality. Three of his best are captured in “The Kevin Smith Collection,” including two films with all-new Blu-Ray material.

Blu-Ray Rating: 4.0/5.0

If you were designing the Kevin Smith set and could only pick three films, what would you choose? The man has directed eight full-length feature films and we can probably cut “Jersey Girl” from consideration from the beginning, leaving seven to choose from. Personally, I would go with three different periods of his work and choose “Clerks,” “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back,” and “Zack and Miri Make a Porno,” but then that »

Blu-ray Review: The Kevin Smith Collection

17 November 2009 2:00 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

I am an unashamed Kevin Smith fan, and primarily of his earlier, less mature work. If there's such a thing as quality dick and fart joke movies, I would say Kevin's pre-Jersey Girl films fit the description. While I wasn't a big fan of either Clerks 2 or Zack and Miri Make a Porno, films such as Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Mallrats and Dogma are personal comedic favorites of mine and Miramax's Kevin Smith Blu-ray collection brings two of those along with what may be Smith's most respected film, Chasing Amy, home in a tidy little package.

To begin, the collection includes the first ever Blu-ray releases of Clerks and Chasing Amy as well as the previously released Blu-ray edition of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. If you already own the Jay and Silent Bob Blu-ray this is the exact same thing with the included audio commentary, »

Bruce Springsteen Closes Giants Stadium With Covers, Crowd Surfing

12 October 2009 12:37 PM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »

By Lindsay Wallace

On Thursday and Friday (October 8 and 9), the legendary Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band rocked Giants Stadium with the final concert performances at the venue (the stadium is being demolished in favor of a new building for football's Giants and Jets beginning next season).

At the start of the show on Thursday, Bruce came out to the center of the stage in front of 60,000 screaming fans, smiled and waved before grabbing his microphone and launching into "Wrecking Ball," the song written specifically for the occasion of Giants Stadium's demise. The tribute consists of lyrics like, "My home is here in these Meadowlands/ Where mosquitoes grow big as airplanes/ Through the mud and the beer, I've seen champions come and go/ So if you got the goods mister, if you got the balls/ Then step in line and bring on your wrecking ball!"

Kevin Smith’s at it Again…Sort Of

8 October 2009 8:22 PM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

Good and bad news for fans of director Kevin Smith: he’s got a couple of projects in the works. If you’re a fan of Smith’s, this should be good news, so what’s the bad? Smith is going in a different direction than what we’ve all grown used to.

When Kevin Smith released Jersey Girl in 2004, he veered drastically from the type of films that had given him a name in film-making. From movies that centered their comedic value around sarcasm, crassness, and marijuana, Smith went to the opposite extreme, giving audiences sweet, yet fairly drab, family comedy. His subsequent films, Clerks II and Zack and Miri Make a Porno, while not quite the caliber of his first films, seemed like Smith was making a return to his former style. But alas, it was not to be.

Instead, Smith is working on a buddy cop flick, »

Kevin Smith does better with weed

5 October 2009 5:01 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Kevin Smith says smoking marijuana makes him a better filmmaker. The 'Zack and Miri Make a Porno' director-and-writer has smoked cannabis-laced cigarettes up to three times a day since Hollywood funnyman Seth Rogen introduced him to the illegal drug last year and thinks it had improved his scripts. He quipped: "I know you're supposed to tell kids not to do drugs, but, kids, do it! Do weed! Don't do the other stuff, but weed is good... What you want to do is what I did, build a movie empire and, at age 38 smoke it all away." The 'Jersey Girl' director finds it hard to direct movies he has written and turns to his pal, comedy filmmaker Judd Apatow, »

The Informant!

18 September 2009 4:00 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

The Informant!

Directed by: Steven Soderbergh

Cast: Matt Damon, Scott Bakula, Joel McHale, Melanie Lynskey

Running Time: 1 hr, 48 mins

Rating: R

Release Date: September 18, 2009

Plot: The story of conniving business man Mark Whitacre, a man whose many ulterior motives nearly bring down both his high-paying company, and the F.B.I. Though presented as a true story, the film insists there have been various entertainment-inducing liberties that were taken to present a more light-hearted depiction of the events that transpired from 1992 to 1996.

Who’s It For? Those who still aren’t convinced Matt Damon has any relative range as an actor. Soderbergh has yet to include “spoof comedy” to his illustrious directorial career, and even the greats have muffed such opportunities up. This is a film you should see if you are curious about what happens when two popular Hollywood talents put their reputations on the line, and spread their wings a bit. »
