Clerks - Collector's Edition

Rating:
Summary: Probably my favorite movie ever!
Review: The first and the best of Kevin Smith films, "Clerks" will crack you up every 5 minutes, and leave you begging fo more. Kevin Smith has an incredible knack for comedy, and I wish he would hurry up and make more movies! "Dogma" is also excellent. "Clerks," however, has the most cynical sense of humor, and Smith's first is his best, no contest. Not for the easily offended (but see it anyway, because it's a riot!)

Summary: CLERKS WORTH CHECKING OUT
Review: Word of mouth & personal expierience made me want to see this movie.And when I did,it left an indelible mark.Grant,Clerks will have you rolling from beginning to end(such phrases as Chewlies Gum,37,____mopper,Berzerker,shoe polish,& salsa shark bring to mind this film),but it's a look at Gen X 20-somethings in the 90's.The bad job,the stagnation,& the indecisiveness of life at that age.Brian O'Halloran plays Dante Hicks,the convienience store jocky with all the whiny"I HATE MY LIFE BUT DON"T WANT TO CHANGE IT"attitude I hear among Gen-Xer's.But Jeff Anderson plays Randell Graves ,the video store clerk and the ultimate slacker.He hates his job,not his life.Disregard his responsibility to his job 'cos he knows it's a dead end and there is something better.After a day when Dante is conned and complaining about working on his day off(as well as other bizarre circumstances)Randell sets Dante straight telling him that he overdramatise things to make his life seem more interesting than what it is.Kevin Smith is a genius.Even though his movies fall on the wayside sometimes(Mallrats,Dogma),his skewed vision has brought him a following.Legend has it that he sold his comic book collection to finance Clerks.It shows he sacrificed something he loved for something his fans will embrace & love for many moons to come

Summary: One of the best DVD editions of a film ever
Review: This is the way clerks was at sundance and should have stayed, maybe. I agree with most critics that it was a good idea that Kevin cut the last original scene and left Dante alive(because rumor has it Clerks 2 is on its way). When you watch this cut with the superior sound and widescreen format, you really feel like you are back in theatre watching Clerks for the first time again. After you watch it, you have the chance to go back and view the indie-film Shakespeare explain his work and progress bit by bit. This is one of those must haves for anyone who has ever loved a Kevin Smith film or just worked in a gas station or video store.

Summary: STILL GREAT AFTER SIX YEARS
Review: This movie became one of my all-time, favorites in 1994 and I always recommend it to anyone looking for a movie. It was fresh in 1994 and it still is as funny and fresh in 2000. The line "I'm not even supposed to be here today" is one of those memorable lines that anyone who's seen the movie can recognize the minute they hear it.

Summary: Awesome
Review: Very funny individual skits from start to end somehow weave to tell a story about a day in the lives of 2 clerks. Watch out for the 'independent contractors' discussion. Much better than its sequels.

Rating:
Summary: Overrated
Review: I didn't like this one. I'm not quite sure why. There are several quite funny parts, and it's a good idea, but .. it feels too hip and shallow. Like Seinfeld without the charm, a nihilistic 90's comedy about nothing. If this is all independent directors have to offer, I think I'll rather have one of those glossy Hollywood movies Leonard Maltin's sneering at.

Summary: Clerks rules
Review: Man, Kevin Smith is just one awesome director. All of his movies rule, but I love Clerks the most. It has some of the funniest things I've ever seen in it, and a few parts are unforgettable. Not only that, but the way people argue and talk in it are very well done and interesting. Randal, no matter how crude he may be, is amazing in this, and really makes the movie so much better. He is one interesting guy. Get this movie, you'll love it.

Summary: A diagloue-driven movie at it's best.
Review: Clerks is a spectacular piece of work. Filmed in B&W due to budget limitations, this helps the movie to conjur up an depressive atmosphere for the movies main participants Dante (O'Hallaran) and Randall (Anderson). There is a wealth of memorable dialogue in this movie, at times extraordinarily clever, at others using sex gags to immerse the viewer in the world of the Quickstop Convenience store and a good balance is struck throughout. The DVD has some fine additions aswell, including deleted scenes and the alternate ending. A bonus is the commentary given by Smith and some crew members that can be added over the move - at times it moves a bit too slow and can be a bit monotonous but it's in there and some nice information can be gained from taking the time to watch it.
