Review: Jay and Silent Bob Reboot is a verbally challenged nostalgia trip

Movie Review | Luke Whiston | 18th February 2020

"So you're the target audience for that," a wag tweeted when I expressed an interest in Kevin Smith's first return to the Askewniverse proper since Clerks II in 2006. It's true, I am. And I'm not even that ashamed of it. In fact, Kevin Smith's films have aligned with several formative periods of my life, becoming dashed in parts of my brain like a ship on rocks, so for better or worse I'll always give the guy a chance. Although as much as I'm fond of the silly goof and his sweary adventures, you'll still never catch me in a pair of jorts.

Prepare to feel old

Movie News | Ali | 24th August 2012

I refuse to watch it again to see how it's aged, because something tells me lines like "Spread my cheeks, so he can see the fucking stink nuggets!" won't hold up all that well. Happy birthday, Jay and Silent Bob.

Red State

Movie Review | Matt | 7th September 2011

Matt reviewed Red State earlier this month. As it's out today, here's a fresh reminder of his crazy thoughts and opinions.

In recent years, the loud-mouthed, foul-mouthed Kevin Smith has become the very antithesis of his former silent onscreen persona. With a network of daily updated podcasts sprawling out from his Smodcast.com website, Smith is even intent on giving up filmmaking altogether so he can justâ€¦umâ€¦â€˜talkâ€™ for a living. But after Cop Out was torn to shreds by â€˜biased critics out to get himâ€™, Red State is a one-man retort railing against the Hollywood system.

TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 17th July 2011

DISCLAIMER: there is no God. There are sharks, though: a friend of mine's seen one. Of course, he also claims he saw Jesus in a Findus Crispy Pancake but that's beside the point.
