An Evening With Kevin Smith

This DVD offers a good look into the work of Kevin Smith aswell as a good view of Hollywood and its stars. Never has 3 hours 44 minutes gone so fast.

Even from the very entertaining play menu that has you hesistate from pressing play just to see what happens next, to the witty banter he has with his adoring yet unsuprisingly weird fans.

A must buy for Kevin Smith film fans.

If you're a fan of his films then you'll doubtless enjoy this. Basically it's a Q&A but Kevin Smith is a very funny man. His collection of anecdotes is superb. My personal faves are his tale of how he got involved with a new Superman film (not the recent Bryan Singer film) and even better is the crazy story of how he came to film a documentary for Prince.

If you don't like Kevin Smith at all then it's not really for you at all.

I truly believe Kevin Smith is better at public speaking than directing movies. For evidence of this just watch this two disc DVD which basically has Kevin speaking in front of a college audience for nearly four hours.

I mean, this guy can really tell a story. How many other directors can you think of who are actually interesting in public?

There are some truly classic stories being told here which actually are an eye-opener as to how Hollywood operates. An excellent example is his involvement with the "Superman Reborn" script. It's simply hilarious and we get an amazing insight into the world of producer Jon Peters and director Tim Burton. Just listen to the story and you won't be able to watch those mechanical spiders in "The Wild Wild West" without shaking your head in disbelief. Other incredible stories include his involvement in making a film about Prince which will never be viewed by the public and his friendship with Ben Affleck.

Truly brilliant. I'd rather watch this than Clerks 2.

Wouldn't recommend unless you are a die hard fan. He is like a lecturer at college telling a load of kids toilet jokes and risque comments about his sexuality etc. nothing special

Ok so Kevin Smith isn't really one of the best film makers of all time but for a guy who didn't complete Canadian film school and made a cheap black and white film with the help of a few dodgy credit cards and the help of a few good friends. Kevin Smith has become one of the best known cult/independent film makers in the world with thanks to Miramax. Me personally I Knew who Kevin Smith was before I Brought this DVD But I Wasn't really a fan. But any how I Brought it and watched it and got hooked for the full 3 Hours and 44 Minutes everything you want or need to know about Kevin Smith "fan or not" is in this DVD And the brilliant thing about this DVD In my personal opinion is that it is a stand up and when the fans through the questions at him his got the answers quickly and sharply and smartly. The next best thing about this DVD Is that if you yourself are a budding film maker then Kevin Smith has lots of great behind the scenes story's and advice about making his own films and others such as him being one the selected few to write "at the time" a new Superman film and many other projects. This DVD Is worth a look and hopefully you won't be disappointed.
