Movies, Directors, and Actors I like. 

I am a fan of cinema, just like billion's of others on the planet.  I enjoy movies that you may hate or be disgusted by(i've found that most people are), but you may also really like or maybe even love the movies i cherish.  If so, stick around.  If not, again, you dont have to be here any more than you have to be at a forum on the shelf life of turnips.   

Kevin Smith-Director


 

You may now his trilogy of comedy flicks thus far.
(IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER)
-    Clerks
-    Mallrats
-    Chasing Amy

If not it is unfortunate because no movies iv'e ever seen before have been this funny on this level of intelligence.  Clerks is a semi-wacky comedy about one day in the life of a couple of Register-Jockies(one in a convenience store, and the other in the small video store next door).  It may not sound very original, but i guarantee you the dialog is.  You'll hear some of the funniest oral sex bits ever.  If that's not enough, do me a favor and just see it for the cynnical-sidekick-buddy of the ever-so-worrysome main main character Dante, Randall.  If you don't rupture your bladder laughing at his off-hand and often unecessary comments on what they both encounter, their is something very wrong with you.  Now that i've ranted about Kevin Smith first film, let's move on to his second. If you've actually seen Clerks and want to see Mallrats, prepare yourself, it's at least ten or or twenty times wackier and sexually-oriented.  It's all about a couple of shopping mall loungers on a quest for comic's and seeking to make-up with their former signifigant others.  With this very funny but sometimes to ridiculous for my tastes film, comes the intro of one of my favorite of Kevin Smith's characters.
Brodie.
You could say someone stuck his funny-bone up his ass.  He's loud, uptight, and fucking hilarious.
On to Smith's most recent cinematic work of art, Chasing Amy.  Now, I went into to the theater expecting another one of his laugh-a-second complainfest's maybe even a bit goofier than Mallrats.  What i saw was actually one helluva good story laced with homophobic and sexual humor along with quite a bit of good realistic drama thrown in that makes this definitely one of my top ten lifetime favorite movies. 


But there is only so much i can say about these movies.  You just have to see them as soon as you can.
