Blu-Ray Review: Another Great Pixar Release in ‘The Incredibles’

TV Review: Jason Lee Delivers Dead Elvis in ‘Memphis Beat’

Blu-Ray Review: Beloved Kevin Smith Films Released in High Definition

Clerks

CHICAGO – Very few filmmakers provoke the same kind of passionate adoration as the sometimes-great Kevin Smith, a man who has such a following that he can sell out large theaters filled with people who merely want to ask him questions for hours. Smith is a charismatic, interesting, clever filmmaker and his best work reflect his gregarious personality. Three of his best are captured in “The Kevin Smith Collection,” including two films with all-new Blu-Ray material.
