Hi, I am not into movies, but a friend of mine turned me on to Kevin Smith. He wanted me to go see the current one, so four of us watched "Clerks" and "Mallrats", a week later "Chasing Amy". I haven't seen "Dogma" yet. I must admit, at the end of "Chasing Amy", I had a lump in my throat, one guy was blowing his nose, my buddy, later admitted that he had a tear in his eye. The other guy wouldn't admit to it, if it did effect him, too macho. I think it says a lot about a movie when it touches you like that. It's a romantic comedy, kind of racy, and in the end, a bit of a tear jerker. I heard that Kevin Smith described "Strikes Back" as a dumb movie for smart guys. You don't have to see the others to enjoy "Strikes Back", but then you will miss a lot of the inside jokes. I say, see them all!
