The directionless convenience store workers decide to make a movie about their lives in Clerks III. Dante Hicks (Brian O’Halloran) and Randal Graves (Jeff Anderson) are still working in the Quick Stop Convenience Store as they approach their 50s. However, Randal is forced to reflect on his life when he has a near-fatal heart attack….
Jay and Silent Bob once again try to stop the production of a film about themselves in Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. While on trial for a routine drug violation, Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) accidentally sign away the rights to their name and likeness to Saban Films. They soon learn from…
The ever-changing world of monster special effect is examined in Creature Designers: The Frankenstein Complex. The love of monsters comes from a deep seeded fear of the unknown, which is with us from our earliest memories. From the early works of Lon Chaney and Jack P. Pierce to the 1980s “rock stars” of Stan Winston, Rick…
Kevin Smith makes a return to filmmaking with the twisted horror-comedy Tusk. Wallace Bryton (Justin Long) is the host of a podcast called “Not See Party,” where he and his friend Teddy Craft (Haley Joel Osment) ridicule weird individuals. Wallace travels to Winnipeg to interview an internet celebrity, but is shocked to find out that…
In today’s world of the digital downloading and streaming, the concept of a repertory cinema probably sounds quite weird. It is a cinema, in which the sole purpose is to play old films that you have likely already seen. Most people would take a look at rep cinemas and ask “Why should I go this…

However, with his latest documentary about the San Diego Comic-Con, Spurlock is neither seen nor heard and he lets…
I never ever watched The Green Hornet TV series (with the exception of the character crossing over to the Batman series, which was by the same producers) and I only really knew the basics of the character. In fact, it was only recently that I found out that the character began as a 1930s radio…
This is undoubtedly the most mainstream film Kevin Smith has directed. Instead of the dialogue-heavy films he is usually known for, this buddy cop action/comedy. I’ll probably say that is far from the funniest of Smith’s films, with the funniest material appearing towards the beginning. However, I do think the film is old with its…
I don’t really know how to start this. Kevin Smith‘s films are usually crude, but for the most part it was just in the dialogue. This film gets a bit more….visual, and I have to admit that it was slightly distracting (this film is definitely NOT wholesome family entertainment). However, I also thought the film…
You can definitely say that Seth Rogen has become a big start in a very short period. It has been only three years, since he had his first real prominent film role in The 40 Year Old Virgin. Pineapple Express mixes a stoner comedy with an action film. Like last year’s Superbad, it was written…
