Welcome to Kevin Smith Week


12:00 PM on 06.11.2012
Welcome to Kevin Smith Week photo



With the launch of his new web showing, Spoilers, Kevin Smith has once again propelled himself into the spotlight with plenty of controversy, complaining and humor. The indie director has gone from being a darling of the indie scene to one of the most outspoken directors out there, especially when it comes to film critics. Whether this is for better or for worse is up for debate, and that's a debate we'll be having this week.

All week long we'll be posting articles on Kevin Smith and dissecting who the director was and is, and what he means to the industry as a whole. We'll be doing everything from a look at his earliest films to discussing whether his current attitude towards film critics and journalists is really warranted. So stick around, it's definitely going to be a fun time.

NYC: A free evening with Linklater, Hawke & Delpy - 5/16

Before Midnight will easily be in my top five films of 2013. Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke, and Julie Delpy have made a worthy sequel to both Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, and I think Midnight will stand on its own as a ...

Tribeca Interview: The directors of V/H/S/2

It's odd how things work. The day after I wrote a very negative review about a found footage movie I didn't like, I wound up interviewing four of the directors responsible for V/H/S/2, a found footage movie that I did like. G...
