An Evening With Kevin Smith

[Jixby Phillips]

Kevin Smith Movies are for kids who wish they weren't in high school or adults who wish they were still in high school.

Clerks is a good movie, if you can ignore the pretentious vocabulary word shtick it has going for it (and I can). Mallrats and Chasing Amy I can enjoy out of pure nostalgia; I loved them in high school. Dogma I read the script for and loved. I saw the movie and really didn't like it. The Clerks Cartoon was pretty great, I thought, 2 episodes were pretty poor, but the other 4 were fantastic. Jay & Silent Bob was so awful, and it officially made me not want to call myself a Kevin Smith fan.

Whoever said Kevin Smith could write for Dawsons Creek and blend in perfectly was right, but I have to say that I think Dawsons Creek is oddly likable.
