The Kevin Smith films

For those of you who do not know Kevin Smith is the genius who bought us the Jay and Silent Bob films. Kevin Smith’s films seem to have a very unusual humour that most women do not seem to like, that is not to say that they don’t understand it as I know a few women who like it, more they just have a different sense of humour. But I will say that if you like one you will like most of them.
Clerks.
The beginning of this set of films is Clerks, a film made on almost no budget but which was a huge success and became very famous. In this film we follow the story of Dante and Randle who both work in the Quickstop and video store. We see a lot of things happen between these two, including, serving young children cigarettes, arguing with customers and attending funerals while they are meant to be working.
We see appearances from Jay and Silent Bob (Silent Bob played by the director himself Kevin Smith)
I wont say much more about this will except that it is a must see film.
8/10
Mallrat’s.
The film of Mallrats follows the story of T.S and Brodie as they spend their day hanging around in the Mall, both have just split up with their partners and are moping around, T.S spends his time trying to win back his girlfriend and they both get into a lot of trouble with the security staff with the help of Jay and Silent Bob as they appear once more, Silent Bob now thinking he is a jedi.
7/10
Dogma.
Of all of the Kevin Smith films this is possibly the most influential and at the same time controversial. In this film we see Bethany put onto the path of religious pilgrimage to stop two renegade angels from entering heaven and at the same time un-creating all of mankind.
This film completely changes how people look at religion, saying it is biased and it has been changed by the churches to make it seem that religion is corrupt.
This is also by far the best of the films, not only the best storyline but the best shot and funniest of the films thus far.
9/10
Jay and Silent Bob.
Of all of the Kevin Smith films this is probably the worst of the set, we see Jay and Silent bob travelling across country to stop a film being made about them, along the way they get caught up in a diamond heist and steal a monkey and several other things. This may be the worst as it is the most improbable and worst shot of the set.

Clerks ll.
The sequel to Clerks see’s the Quickstop burn down and the two friends go and work together at “Mooby’s” during the film they get into arguments with the customers, sleeping with the boss and watching “interspecies erotica”. All in all a very good film but it does not quite fit the same story idea as the original Clerks.
