A Big Film Weekend
Hello, moviegoers. This is a big weekend for film, not because of one large opening like "Superman Returns" or Pirates of the Caribbean 2, but because several smaller films are opening, vying for your time and (most importantly) your dollar. In the interest of better preparing you to choose, we will try to have reviews of all the new films up as soon as possible. The new films this weekend are:
Monster House, from Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg, My Super-Ex Girlfriend with Uma Thurman and Luke Wilson, and the two heavy-hitters (as far as geeks are concerned) Lady in the Water from Shyamalan, and Clerks 2 from Kevin Smith. While all of these movies, I'm sure, have a lot to offer, my choice for definite viewing is "Clerks 2." Here's a few reason why:
TEN REASONS TO SEE CLERKS 2:
1. What other filmmaker could put a poop monster in a film about religion and make it all make sense?
2. Two Words...Snootchie Bootchies.
3. M. Night Shyamalan doesn't need any more money, and besides his name is too long.
4. How else will we ever get a sequel to Jersey Girl?
5. It may not have snakes on a plane, but Clerks 2 does have a donkey in a compromising position.
6. No one since the Reynolds, has grown a mustache quite like Jason Lee.
7. Let's find out if Jason Mewes is still funny without the drugs (Robin Williams wasn't). I'm just playin' Mewes!
8. Just to prove Joel Siegal wrong.
9. Kevin's wife is a beautiful lady, we should show props when a man has such bedroom skills ('cause let's face it, she's not with him for his looks).
and the final reason you should go see Clerks 2...
10. My name is in the credits! Seriously, that's how cool this fool is. Kevin ran a contest on MySpace, to give 10,000 fans a chance to have their name in the credits of his film. And I'm one of them. Jealous?
Now, this movie (or any of Kevin's films, minus Jersey Girl) is not necessarily for everyone. It is rated R, mostly for language and gratuitous amounts of potty humor, but that's right up my alley. Mom, Tara, you guys might want to sit this one out, but for most of you, I think you'll find that beneath all the dirty jokes, and pop culture references Kevin Smith is a guy with something to say. Clerks 2 in theatres this weekend, don't miss it...unless you're my mom. Then ignore this message.
Enjoy a great weekend at the movies, we'll be back soon and throughout the next week, with reviews of these, and other, exciting films.

i saw clerks II and liked it a lot. I would like to ask a question about it, at some point. But for the record, it has become my #1 movie of the summer to re-watch. I may re-watch Superman Returns, and Pirates again, but within this next week, I'm without a doubt going to see this movie again. It's worthy of multiple viewings in theatres... take that for what it's worth.
I also agree with Kyle, I think Jersey Girl shows the scope of Smith's directing abilities and would like to see him tackle less "safe" material. He is talented, and is worthy of "deeper projects". Not to say that his other works are "deep", because I find is work very engaging on an intellectual level as well as a entertainment level.
