Dogma
Cast: Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Linda Fiorentino
Writer and Director: Kevin Smith
**** and a 1/2 Stars out of Five.
Sometime in the year 1990, a young guy named Kevin went to
watch a little indie film called Slacker. Made
in Austin Texas featuring a cast of just residents and scenes of just people
talking with no big central narrative.
This feature from first time director, Richard Linklater was a huge
influence on Kevin. Like Dave Bowman
touching the monolith in 2001: A Space
Odyssey. Kevin Smith was so blown
away that a movie could be made with just your friends. He got a bunch of credit cards, sold his
comic books and made one of the most iconic films of 1994, Clerks. ( I promise, there is a review of Dogma in this article)
