Steineded How sad is this?

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

horrorlibrary My Evening with Kevin Smith *A No-Spoiler Review* of "An Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder" by R.J. CavenderThe other night I was lucky enough to attend an exclusive premier of Kevin Smith's new DVD "An Evening with Kevin Smith II: Evening Harder" at Cinespace in Hollywood. I can easily say that the event was one of the more entertaining 'nights-on-the-town' that I've experiences in recent memory. Any fan of Smith's work will certainly want to pick up the DVD as soon as it becomes available later in November.First off, we had to pick our tickets for the evening up at Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, the Kevin Smith-owned comic book and collectible store in Westwood. For any fan of Smith's, this store is a veritable treasure trove of all things from the View Askew universe. There are props on display from various films that Smith directed, swag of all sorts, and pretty much anything a comic collector would ever want. It's clear that Smith knows his fans and knows what they would want in an indie comic store. The staff at Secret Stash were all really helpful when it came to getting us our tickets and finding the few things we were looking for, and it seemed that they clearly enjoyed working at such a hip and laid-back establishment.And speaking of happening spots, the venue for the evening, Cinespace, is one of the coolest they could have chosen. Playboy magazine has donned Cinespace 'The best bar in Los Angeles', and I'd have to agree with them. From the moment I walked up the flight of stairs and into the bar area, I was impressed. Almost every wall in the complex is graced by some sort of video screen, from huge overhead projections as big as a theater, down to tiny LCD screens built into the pillars of the entranceway. Cinespace was built with a viewing audience in mind, and you'd be hard pressed to find any spot in the club where you couldn't clearly see a screen. Now, to the review of the DVD itself. For those of you who haven't seen the first "An Evening with Kevin Smith", I'd highly recommend you do. It's not a completely necessary prerequisite, but you'll probably miss an in-joke here and there that you'd get otherwise. Plus, it's a damn funny film. Smith has a way of turning a simple question and answer format into something that's part stand-up, part social commentary, and has such great pacing that you'll forget that several hours have passed by and all you've really been doing is listening to a film maker talk into a microphone. All I can say is that Kevin Smith is one hell of an interesting speaker, and his insight into Hollywood, film making, and the creative process is as universal in it's hilarity as it is unique in his delivery. How one person can be so honest, brilliant, profane, and self-deprecating all at once is just astounding. By the time the second disc of the two-disc package was about to go on, I literally had a cramp in my side from laughing so much. As the second disc started to play, the crowd of about 200 in Cinespace were all just as invested in watching it as they were from moment one. In fact, the few people who had the audacity to talk during the presentation were quickly shushed by other members of the crowd. I don't want to give anything away, but let's just say that there are some fun differences between the first "Evening" and this new presentation, filmed some four years later. I don't want to spoil it for you, so I won't. But, I for one was really pleased with this new direction and found this little twist to be really interesting. I think you'll dig it too. All in all, there's not much more I can say about "An Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder". The 2 disc DVD will be available later this month, and if you want to have a great time watching some truly funny anecdotes told by a man who knows how to tell a hell of a story...then invite some friends over, have a few drinks, and prepare to be entertained.The night wrapped up with a question-and-answer segment with Smith himself, where he stayed and answered every question that was asked of him from the crowd. He even stayed over a half-hour longer than the club had arranged, just to be sure that everyone who had a question got to ask it. I mean, who does that? In person Smith seemed humble, quiet, and even at moments a bit overwhelmed at the outpouring of affection that his fans have showed him. I'd venture to say, he's probably one of the least affected celebrities in all of Hollywood. It was really a special treat to be able to go to something like this, an event that was set aside especially for the biggest fans. I also give Smith major credit for being clever enough to utilize something like MySpace to let the fans know about the premier. I'd overheard quite a few people mention how far they'd driven to attend the event, and it's clear that it's the biggest fans who appreciate something like this the most...and as one of the biggest fans out there, I'd just like to personally say THANKS to Kevin Smith for showing us all a great night!

svenskaflicka90210 Kevin Smith is a genius. He is intelligent, creative and practically a stand-up comedian. This 4-hour long show is really good and funny - but only if you are a fan of his movies.Smith is so good at ridiculing people like Tim Burton and John Peters.Though Burton is a good director, you could not help but laugh at him. Smith makes fun of people in a very funny and intelligent way.The show gives you an insight into the world of Kevin Smith. Kevin Smith is both funny and vulgar, in a informative way.Don't miss this show for anything in the world. It is also very popular outside USA, and that tells you how good it is.

ThirtyFour41 I just watched this flick for the first time last night. First off, it was long as hell. So if you plan on watching it, make sure you plenty of time on your hands. But all in all, it was a great flick. Kevin is witty and humorous as usual, and answers some questions about his movies that we've all wanted to ask at some point. Like, "What is a Nubian?" Hehe. If you're a fan, check it out. If you're not, check it out anyway. The performance is topped off by a visit from Jason Mewes (Jay) and made even better when Kevin decides to make some phone calls on stage (his attempt to get one kid his job back fails). But I honestly think that if you're not a fan, you won't enjoy this as much as I did.Enjoy!

arickrol `An Evening With Kevin Smith' is the latest of director Kevin Smith's works. Smith is a renowned Indie filmmaker and New Jersey native made famous by his independent film, `Clerks.' Smith speaks out at several college campuses in a Question and Answer format on many topics of interest to college students from his five films and religion, to sex and sexual preference.Covering two discs and almost four hours, `Evening' will have even non-fans of Smith rolling on the floor with laughter. It is a nonstop express train to comedy-ville that actually delivers what it promises. Smith's frankness and humor allows him to touch on the touchy subjects of religion, sex, and sexual preference without being overly offensive.Being a fan of Smith and his work I immediately purchased this DVD as soon as possible. However, that sounds easier than the actual process since I had to find a store that heard of it and also had it in stock. In the end I found it in the Special Interest section at Best Buy for $22.99, a bargain as most double discs run at a higher price than that.True fans who have seen all of his films will enjoy `Evening' more than the average viewer and will not be offended by the plethora of `dick and fart jokes' that Smith's comedy is normally based on. Fan will be depressed near the end of the second disc when they reach scene #39 where Smith discusses the future of Jay and Silent Bob.The tomfoolery of such films as `Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' continues and even goes up a notch with the inclusion of actor Jason Mewes and producer Scott Mosier (via telephone) and of the student audience. Smith takes the time to make several phone calls on student's behalf and even attempts to get a student their job back after losing it in order to attend the performance.Despite all the positives going for `Evening' it is not for everyone. People who are easily offended, don't enjoy `dick and fart jokes' or disliked Smith's films will want to avoid this DVD at all costs.For the rest of us, the DVD is a great addition to our personal film collections and is a must have for any Smith fan. The DVD has some superb editing; features bonus trailers, is subtitled in English, French, and Spanish, and is in wide screen format. I highly recommend this and can't wait for the release of Smith's next film, `Jersey Girl'.
