Movie Reviews of Clerks (Collector's Series)
Movie Review: Clerks is on my top 5
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought Clerks was tied for the best Kevin Smith movie along with Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Although all of Kevin Smith"s movies were great , this one is especially! I mean Dogma was good, but a lot of it wasn't all that funny which would leave that at a 9.1/10. Chasing Amy was good too, but it was my least favorite Jay and Silent Bob movie because they were only in it 1 time which would leave that movie at a 8.9 or a 9.0 out of 10. As for Mallrats that to was an excellent film , but it just wasn't as good as Clerks. the scene where Jay and Silent Bob were running from the LaFours was great and so was the dis on Batman, but Mallrats still wasn't as good as Clerks, I would give it a 9.5/10. As for Jay and Silent Bob Strike back that was equally as good because of the amount of other celeberties (Will Ferell,Jason Biggs,Seann William Scott,Shannon Elizabeth, ,Ben Affleck,Chris Rock and Jamie Kennedy being my personal favorites) (due to the many other good movies they have starred in) Anyway Clerks is on my top 5 best movies. I have no reai favorite, but whenever someone askes me I always start with Clerks and say a few others. This is my review on Clerks.Movie Review: A Great Beginning to the New Jersey 'Trilogy'
Summary: 5 Stars
Clerks was Kevin Smith's first movie, and it shows. It's video and audio are terrible, the directing is less than perfect, the acting is wooden, etc.It's perfect. Dante is a whiny loser, and he's great as the central character. Randal is a cynical video clerk; hates his customers; even sells children cigarrettes.
This is the first movie to feature Jay and Silent Bob and they are quite different from their later appearances. They are much rougher than in MALLRATS, for example. In Mallrats, they are cartoonish characters, but in this one, they are loud (Well, Jay is) and drug dealers. They're drug dealers in all the movies, but this one features it at the most prominent.
The film is quite funny. The "37" scene is classic. Only a few moments are not up to par with the rest... But those are so few, they won't be bothered with...
The DVD is quite good. It has a great commentary (In which Jay sleeps through most of it), deleted scenes, and a music video. Sure, it's a direct port from the Laserdisc, but the laserdisc was a good one.
The only problem is that the film is non-anamorphic. Hopefully, in the upcoming anniversary edition disc they will fix this problem...
Movie Review: Brian Lynch & Vin' Pereia love scene reason enough to buy
Summary: 5 Stars
This scene, cut from the original for it's steamy passion, is enough to make this DVD my first choice for Christmas this year. Brian's portrayal of Kiki Derris the wise apple lover of Ethan Sups (Pereia) will bring tears to the eyes of all but the most hardened. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but when Kiki Derris said "I'm just a bitter overweight queen and nobody loves me" I wept.Other highlights from the restored cut scenes were "Randal's Sexuality Revealed," "Ming the Asian Design Major and Dante Fight," and "Lenin's Tomb gets Run Over."
What may be the most impressive thing about this special edition DVD is not what was put back into the film but what was taken out. In the scene with the ambulance driver and "Dante," a completely new actor was digitally superimposed over the original ambulance driver a la Star Wars Special Edition. The superimposed actor, Eon Bailey, adds new life and real acting ability to the roll of "The Ambulance Driver." Eerily this is the only black and white scene in this colorized version.
I can't say enough about this DVD...buy!!! buy!!! buy!!!

Movie Review: If You Have Ever Worked As A Clerk, This Movie Is For You!
Summary: 5 Stars
For all of you who are familiar with Kevin Smith and his work, let me say that I know that this DVD is expensive, but believe me, it is well worth it for the directors commentary alone (which is hilarious, featuring a drunk Jason Mewes aka: Jay), not to mention the original ending. For all of you who are not familiar with this movie or Kevin Smith, if you like comedy flicks, have worked as a clerk or both, you will definately enjoy this movie. I work overnight at a truck stop in Pennsylvania, and my co-workers and I have quoted lines from this movie several times a day; most notably "This job would be great if it wasn't for the _______ customers". This is not a big money Hollywood flick. This is an independant, black and white movie, and the first of what would later be refered to as "The Jersey Trilogy" (Clerks, Mallrats & Chasing Amy). Clerks is a stripped down, raw comedy that will leave you laughing every time you see it. If you currently or have ever in your life worked as a clerk, you absolutely must see this movie. You will definately identify with some situations ("How much is this, anyway?").Movie Review: C'mon if you can't afford it, then don't complain!
Summary: 5 Stars
I dread the day I sit on my porch and complain boisterously about when I was a kid, and walking 20 miles to school, in the snow, uphill, both ways, with rocks in my school bag, and so forth. (Refer to Monty Python's "4 Irishmen" for further details) If you can't, don't, shouldn't, wouldn't shell out some extra cash for having the latest novelty sitting under your TV to use the latest technology trend, then DON'T buy it. If you can pick up the VHS version for two bucks at the pawn shop, then go buy it and stop posting your gripes and whines where everyone can read it and mock you and call you a silly sod! With that out of the way, this movie although not having any actors with talent, that couldn't act their way out of a paper bag, is funny. I wouldn't really call it potty humor, just a little bit twisted. Certainly makes you think twice about anyone behind any counter beaming a smile at you when you complain about how you think the establishment should consider having a selection of your favorite gum. The extras aren't exceptional but welcomed nontheless. Funny... funny, funny. My 2 cents.
