Dogma (Special Edition) Reviews
I hate this movie more than life itself
I should note that I didn't come from a Catholic family, so I'm not in the potential audience for this film. Never the less, this fact is no excuse for 'Dogma's being as mindbogglingly annoying as it is. Every character, every damn one of them is agonizingly obnoxious, it's just unbelievable. Any one of them could cripple a scene all by his or herself, yet there are often many of the on the screen at once. Take the most involved scene in this film then add in, say, Kathy Griffin and Chris Tucker, and it would cause my head to explode within seconds. Frankly, I'd probably be better off.
Still, every time this thing comes on TV, which is about every other day on Comedy Central, I can't help but watch a little of it. I don't know why. Do I hate myself? Am I a masochist? Or do I have to prove to myself every time I see it that it's really as bad as I think it is? Suffice to say, this isn't necessarily the worst movie I've ever seen, but I honestly can't think of a single movie that I HATE more than 'Dogma'.
Grade: F
(P.S. I read that the DVD comes with 100(!) mintues of deleted scenes. This thought makes me tremble in horror. It's best not to contemplate such things.)
Smith's DOGMA is a Hellva of Good Time
Writer/director Kevin Smith's all star,religious socal commentary is a HOOT to watch, and draws on religion points. Its funny and full of satire. Smith and his cast pokes their collective fingers in your religious eyes and makes you laugh
If you listen to the audio commenraries, this film was made on a shoestring-with the shortness of the budget, the casting problems, location problems and the scheduling around things(Oscars, Revlon shoots, other movies)-The film might not have been made
Smith pokes fun at religion without bad mouthing it. His premous is simple. The great great grand daughter (last known descendant) of Jesus, two unlikely prophets (Jay & Silent Bob), and the 13th Apostle Rufus are sent on a mission to save humanity by stopping two wayward angels from entering a newly openned portal to heaven. Okay, Complex simple!
The cast of this film is first rate... Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as the two wayward angels, Linda Fiorentino as the last known descendant of Jesus, Jason Mews and Smith as Jay and Silent Bob, Chris Rock as Rufus, Alan (Die Hard, Harry Potter) Rickman as Metatron, Jason (My Name is Earl)Lee as Azreal, Salma Hayek as the Muse, George Carlin as Cardinal Glick and Alanis Morissette as GOD
This special edition DVD includes many deleted scenes about 100 minutes worth, almost as long as the film itself, outtakes, Cast film biographies like trading cards and the trailer to the film.
So is this worth it? YUP and AMEN
