He Made Me An Offer I Couldn’t Refuse
So after a discussion with The Don today at work I realised I should get round to recomending more films to you people. So i’ve been thinking of a film to recomend, but so much has been running through my head should it be a obscure but thoughful film, should it be a underated classic, or should it be just a ultimate fountain of randomness. So that just makes it more difficult, so right now I am literally looking at my DVD collection trying to find a film to talk about.
Ok, I’ve got one and the film I’m gonna recomend to you is “Dogma“. As you may or may not know Kevin Smith (the director/writer of Dogma and many other AWESOME films) is a genius, especially in this masterpiece of cinema. Its just so funny, clever and brings up the kinda story Da Vinci Code brings up way before that was popular. Lets talk cast, its Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes as Silent Bob and Jay (Great characters), Chris Rock, Jason Lee (of My Name Is Earl fame, although he was great before this), Alan Rickman, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon….. Its a great cast of great comedy and polished performers which does actually translate into a very entertaining film.
So watch it and enjoy.
I did like Dogma overall, but felt it was lacking in something…not sure what though. Nice performances from all actors/actresses, and I liked the subtle humor in a lot of places.
But Alanis Morissette as God?! Umm…
Of course, it did give us the legendary Buddy Christ…and for that, it ranks pretty high in my book!
