[Q]: jay and silent bob strike back , kevin smith 's swan song to his two most famous characters , is the best received comedy that i 've seen since there 's something about mary , which is a tea party in comparison to the foul - mouthed humor in jay and silent bob strike back .
the audience did n't just laugh ; they went wild with boisterous laughter and heavy applause throughout .
in short , if you like really raunchy humor , you may find it , as i did , to be the funniest movie of the year .
( on the other hand , if you are one of those who walked out in disgust with smith 's dogma , then jay and silent bob strike back is not the movie for you . ) in one of the fastest paced movies of the year
, the story has jay and silent bob ( jason mewes and kevin smith ) , a pair of card carrying drug dealers , traveling from their new jersey convenience store home to hollywood so that they can stop a movie .
it seems their comic book alter egos , bluntman and chronic , are being used in a movie without jay and silent bob 's consent .
jason biggs and james van der beek are slated to star in it .
jay and silent bob strike back has more and better used cameos than just about any movie that i 've ever seen .
among others , they include carrie fisher as a bible - toting nun , mark hamill as a comic book version of his famous alter ego and gus van sant as a director too busy counting his money to yell , " action !
" best of all are ben affleck and matt damon who mock themselves and their movies .
the film stops several times to make fun of itself and of the audience who was " stupid " enough to buy tickets to this movie .
( actually , purchasing tickets to this film is extremely smart given that it delivers more laughter per dollar than anything in recent memory . )
the film even skewers people who write about movies on the internet .
guilty .
although it 's filled with inside jokes , you 'll still be laughing even if you only get some of them .
it 's easy to understand enough so that they are still funny .
jay is a motor mouth who has n't met a subject that he could n't vulgarize .
his favorite topic is oral sex , but , being an equal opportunity profaner , he 's willing to make crude jokes about absolutely anything .
but it is his buddy , the aptly named silent bob , who is responsible for most of the movie 's success .
his reaction shots , with his wildly exaggerated eye movements , are comedic gems .
the story 's main subplot concerns four animal rights activists , justice ( shannon elizabeth ) and her three sexy buddies , sissy ( eliza dushku ) , missy ( jennifer schwalbach smith ) and chrissy ( ali larter ) .
these charlie 's angels types give a ride to our heroes on their trek to lalaland to stop the picture .
jay tries to put the moves on justice , but he does n't stay in command of the situation for long .
one of the funnier sight gags has the women using a pink , clam - shaped , birth control case that contains high tech gadgetry .
granted , it 's not the movie for everyone , but , if you like kevin smith 's brand of humor , you 'll find that this is his best .
and , as i said earlier , it 's the funniest movie of the year thus far .
no , wait .
forget , ' thus far . '
it 's bound to be the funniest movie of the year
.
in a time when almost every movie feels obligated to come in at pg-13 so that they can rake in the maximum cash , it 's great to see a filmmaker with the guts to target only a mature audience .
jay and silent bob strike back runs a lightening fast 1 : 35 .
it is rated r and contains pervasive crude humor and language and sexual situations .
it would be acceptable for high school seniors and older .
the film opens nationwide in the united states on wednesday , august 22 , 2001 .
in the silicon valley , it will be showing at the amc and the century theaters .

[Q]: ingredients : london gal , fate , true love , running joke about monty python 's spanish inquisition synopsis : american actress gwyneth paltrow with dark hair , playing a londoner ? believe it .
sliding doors is a love ' what if ' story .
the gimmick is that it 's really two stories : the film follows the life of helen ( gwyneth paltrow ) down two directions .
in the beginning , likeable gal ' helen ' ( gwyneth paltrow ) gets unexpectedly fired from her advertising job .
so she goes into the subway train station meaning to return home early to her apartment and
her sleeping live - in lover gerry ( john lynch )
.
helen does n't know it , but she is at a fateful junction in life :
1 ) if she enters through the sliding door of a london subway train her life takes one path with one future 2 ) if she stays on the platform her life takes another path with a different future .
the film shows what happens in both paths , switching back and forth between intertwined , parallel stories .
in story one , helen meets a charming and talkative monty python fan named james ( john hannah ) on the train .
arriving home early , she discovers that her live - in , gerry ( john lynch ) , is having sex with his former lover lydia ( jeanne tripplehorn ) .
this leads to a life where helen moves out .
helen 's winsome new friend james helps her recover from a broken heart , and encourages her to start her own business .
in story two , helen experiences a different fate .
she misses the train , never meets james , and does n't get home early enough to discover gerry 's infidelity .
in this new life , helen takes up odd menial jobs , and faces the constant sneaking suspicion that all is not right with her relationship with gerry .
will the truth of the heart finally work its way through a number of problems and setbacks in both scenarios ?
opinion : rejoice all ye monty python fans , gwyneth paltrow fans , and watchers of quirky romance flicks .
at last here 's proof that there 's still creativity in 1990s filmmaking .
sliding doors is refreshingly different from anything this year .
not only is it a well - acted , heartwarming film , but it 's also easily gwyneth paltrow 's best recent performance .
when helen ( paltrow ) screams that her unfaithful boyfriend is a ' shagging wanker , ' ( a british phrase better left untranslated ) she sounds like she knows what she 's talking about ! nor does sliding doors go overboard with formulaic true love or other stereotypes .
nobody scrambles around in danger , screaming , " i will find you no matter what , my darling ! " when helen finds herself on a boat in the starlight with james , she does n't take the easy way out and leap into his arms , since she 's supposed to be recovering from heartache . and handsome live - in boyfriend gerry is n't the stereotypical screen hunk ( either a stud or a snob ) .
instead he 's a nervous and indecisive , almost helpless hunk .
another example : when one of the protagonists lies wounded in a hospital , sliding doors gives us neither the ' hospital miracle ' nor a maudlin tragedy but surprises us with a third variation .
in other words , all of the characters seem non - stereotyped , human , and local .
there are minor inconveniences .
since sliding doors switches back and forth between two possible fates , it 's occasionally difficult to distinguish between the two .
distinguishing between the two stories is n't a problem in the scenes containing paltrow , who sports two different hairstyles .
but in scenes containing only lydia and gerry , who look the same in both stories , it 's slightly confusing .
also , quite a few snappy comebacks referring to american pop culture ( seinfeld , woody allen , etc . ) are spoken by the british characters .
but these seem slightly forced , given that the remaining dialogue is predominantly british slang .
possibly an attempt by the screenwriter to balance the british so that american audiences can feel more comfortable ?
sliding doors is a charming , quirky , original , happy romance with a little ' philosophy of fate ' thrown in .
monty python and the meaning of fate , anybody ?

[Q]: in my opinion , a movie reviewer 's most important task is to offer an explanation for his opinion .
but with soul survivors , i 'm so full of critical rage that this review is liable to turn into a venomous , uncontrollable rant , obligations damned .
however , protocol forces me to do otherwise .
soul survivors tells the story of four college - bound friends : cassandra ( melissa sagemiller ) is sweet and innocent .
party girl annabel ( eliza dushku of bring it on ) is dating world - weary harvard student matt ( wes bentley ) .
matt still has feelings for cassie , who is now dating sean ( casey affleck ) .
driving back from a creepy , gothic party , the quartet gets into a horrific car crash .
sean dies , leaving cassie crestfallen and guilty , made worse because sean saw matt kiss cassie just minutes after sean revealed his love for her . as cassie mopes through her classes , she sees the ghost of sean all over the place , urging her to follow him .
along with being plagued by other ghastly visions , cassie is also followed by thugs from that strange party .
annabel and matt try calming her down , but no one shares cass 's visions .
she has to figure out this purgatory all by herself .
rarely have i seen a director
so thoroughly mishandle material .
in his directorial debut , steve carpenter does nothing to provoke the audience into feeling any emotion .
when the movie 's camerawork is n't pedestrian , it 's clich ?
d .
carpenter 's need for close - ups , his camera following sagemiller from behind , drain the movie of any anticipation .
we already know what to look for , so why should we be surprised ? and the sense of scary atmosphere , which was recently done so well in the others , is nowhere to be found here .
carpenter 's script relies on random twists and turns with a minimum of logic and loads of laziness .
this is a movie where the ending features one character providing an explanation about the plot to another character , which is one of the lamest screenwriting devices around .
the second lamest device , of course , is the , " oh , it was all a dream " resolution . and guess what ?
this movie has both ! not that the main body of the film , which has sagemiller constantly running in fear or having a nervous breakdown , is anything worthwhile .
since there 's no captivating dialogue , no character chemistry exists anywhere .
that 's a huge problem , since the four main characters are supposed to be couples .
carpenter ca n't even get the smutty scenes right , which are becoming more prevalent in pg-13 movies like bring it on and get over it .
[ the film was recently re - cut from an r rating to get more kids in the seats .
-ed . ]
when sagemiller and dushku dance together at a club , he rarely shows them in a full shot and he never keeps the camera on them for longer than a second before relating to some michael bay - style quick cuts .
and when sagemiller and dushku take a shower together after getting covered in paint , they 're fully clothed . regardless ,
any sexiness in that scene is undercut by its stupidity .
why would n't they wash the clothes in the sink or in the washing machine ?
why would they shower in their clothes ?
what if they were n't covered in latex paint ?
the cast , which will see better material in the future , would be wise to leave this one off their resumes .
i felt sorry for affleck , who i 've liked in other movies , and bentley , who was great in american beauty .
dushku , who possesses an alluring femme fetale quality , has got to stop taking roles belonging to rose mcgowan .
as for sagemiller ( star of the aforementioned get over it ) , i want to see her in a movie where she plays a person , and not an object for gawking .
and i 'm not even getting into luke wilson 's role as a priest .
at least he 's friends with wes anderson .
bottom line : soul survivors is so awful i feel compelled to knock on doors and warn people about it .
