Wed, 27 Jun 2007 07:22:13 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author updateghost - At 14, we could laugh at fart, poop, snot, semen, penis and vagina jokes and still feel intelligent about it. Kids could proclaim "Kevin Smith is a genius!" and receive a round of applause and agreement from their fellow peers. Unsurprisingly, as we...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author inkkognito - WARNING: Do not watch "Dogma" if your religious sensibilities are easily offended! I mean, come on, George Carlin as a Cardinal? Jay and Silent Bob as prophets? The 13th disciple, who was excluded from the Bible for being black? The last descendent of...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dbcint - I’ve been Christian for something approaching four years now. I’m serious about my faith, and I certainly don’t take it lightly. That doesn’t mean, however, that I don’t know how to laugh at myself. ”Imagine a world where...

Dogma: Religion according to Chris Rock

Thu, 11 Dec 2003 12:53:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author angelkitten001 - I heard about Dogma and had to have it. It caused a lot of controversy because it discussed religion in a humorous way. Dogma stars Ben Affleck, Matt Daemon, Salma Hayek, Jason Lee, Chris Rock, and Alanis Morrisette. Dogma is about two angels that...

Dogma: Ridiculously overwritten, badly acted, not half as clever/anarchic as it thinks it is

Tue, 7 Oct 2003 14:04:09 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kookytree - I'm not sure what I find harder to believe- the idea that people actually found this film funny, or the fact that it is considered controversial. This is "satire" at the level of the Carry On films- when a film uses a giant "poo monster" for supposed come...

Thu, 1 May 2003 01:11:54 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author catu11us - It's too bad DVDs can't be programmed to let out the good films trapped inside botched jobs. "Dogma" starts with an inventive premise: two angels who have been exiled from heaven have found a theological loophole that will allow them back in ... an...

Dogma: Kevin Smith's Parable About Religion.

Sun, 6 Apr 2003 04:09:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jeff_wilder78 - Merriem Webster defines a Parable as: a usually short fictitious story that illustrates a moral attitude or a religious principle. That is definitely the best way of summing up Dogma that I have seen. Dogma manages to be rather smart about its subject...

Dogma: Dogma (1999)

Thu, 19 Dec 2002 13:37:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lemon_lime - With Kevin Smith, you either love him or hate him. There really is no middle ground. Which is why I've always been a little outcast in the area; I think he's great at times and definitely has his moments, but I'm not a die-hard fan. For anyone reviewing...

Dogma: Dogma

Mon, 1 Jul 2002 09:27:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mfunk75 - The first time I saw "Dogma" I was put off by the endless explanations of Catholic… well… dogma. Director/screenwriter Kevin Smith knew that the subject matter he was tackling would go over the heads of his audience if not adequately explained (ideas...

Dogma: It's Hell Getting Into Heaven!

Sat, 27 Apr 2002 03:25:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jankp - My review title was one of the movie Dogma’s taglines back in 1999 and an apt one that promises comedy, soul searching and some theological commentary. Kevin Smith, a practicing Catholic schooled by nuns, writes, co-directs, co-produces and...

Dogma: Kevin Smith's Perfect Film

Sat, 20 Apr 2002 11:31:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author wlswarts - "Dogma" is a film it's difficult to not evaluate with an emotional reaction because so many people have so many feelings about religion. I think "Dogma's" tagline ought to have been "God Commandeth Thee To Lighten Up." Despite what you may have...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Ed.Williamson - Kevin Smith's 1999 film Dogma starts out before the credits roll with several disclaimers saying "We're sorry if the movie you are about to see is offensive, but we were just out to make a piece of funny fantasy, blah-blah-blah...." That in...

Dogma: He is a She

Tue, 4 Dec 2001 05:09:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author abhorrent - Two angels disobey God's commands and therefore, are kicked out of heaven. Is there something heretic about this?

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MrsNormanMaine - Life is returning to normal here at Chateau Maine.

Fri, 12 Oct 2001 15:19:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author JustCathy - Your imagination is really needed here. But imagine if you will that God sends down the angel Metatron(Alan Rickman) to convince a divorced, non-practicing Catholic woman, Bethany, (played by Linda Fiorentino)that she must stop two fallen angels, Loki...

Fri, 5 Oct 2001 02:46:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cloesmom - I saw my first Kevin Smith film, "Clerks," as a teen who worked at a video store. Because of my line of work, I found it quite a knee slapper. However, the show must go on!

The show does go on as Smith makes a handful of movies...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author fwinkle666 - Since I love movies and review as many as possible, people often ask me what some of the worst films I've seen have been, since I've seen quite a few. Before I would always pause for a while to consider some really bad ones (Godzilla and Alien...

Tue, 18 Sep 2001 23:50:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author justin_vanny - When you think of a Kevin Smith film do you think of the film festival, critic appraised Clerks, or do you think of the critically Bashed laugh fest that was Mallrats! Wether one of those two or Chasing Amy, this movie really has all of that. So what can...
