Clerks, a review by DJ Doena

View Askew is the production company of Kevin Smith and the "View Askewniverse" is the movie universe that comprises of all the Jay and Silent Bob movies.

Clerks



Brian O'Halloran    ...    Dante Hicks
Jeff Anderson   ...    Randal Graves
Marilyn Ghigliotti   ...    Veronica Loughran
Lisa Spoonhauer   ...    Caitlin Bree
Jason Mewes   ...    Jay
Kevin Smith   ...    Silent Bob

Clerks tells the story of Dante and Randal who work in two close-by stores, a small convienent store and a video store. They don't work much but instead they talk about sex, movies and former girlfriends.

Clerks was the first movie of Kevin Smith and was shot in black'n'white.

My Opinion:
This movie is just too funny. How do you get such ideas? If you like Smith's humour in general you will love this flick.

This one I bought mostly because it stars Charisma Carpenter... who I have liked since she was in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I never even heard of this movie before I did an amazon search on her name this past month. I found this one to be rather strange... and a bit hard to follow at times. But over all I found it entertaining enough to keep my attention. Pretty good... but definitely could have been better.

My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich

Doctor Who - The New Series - Vol. 1

Rose
When Rose Tyler meets a mysterious stranger called the Doctor, her life will never be the same again. Soon, she realises that her mum, her boyfriend, and the whole of Planet Earth are in danger. The only hope for salvation lies inside a strange blue box...



Meet the new Doctor and his companion Rose as, together, they set out across space and time in a series of exhilarating adventures and deadly confrontations.

Having seen several episodes haphazardly I knew what to expect from this pilot, but am still disappointed when I compare it to the classics of yesteryear. The 'humour' and slapstick is laid on much too thick, and the storyline of this first episode too farcical.
However I think the combination of Ecclestone and Piper shows promise, and the introduction of how they meet and the chemistry between them is excellent.
Altogether a reasonable taster, albeit I'll always be a greater fan of the old doctors.
