  • Another DVD review of Good Will Hunting has been placed over at DVD File,so we thought you’d like to know. It’s a second opinion, but another kind review. They DO cite the lack of 16×9 enhancement (BIG mistake) as a big problem (Come on Disney, you GOTTA start enhancing these releases!), but the extras make the disc a great deal, especially if you can get it on sale like we did.
  • A new book about Batman: The Animated Series is out. It is co-written by Paul Dini, one of the writer/co-producers of the show. It covers all aspects and has a lot of cool art from the show. It also has a section with short essays from entertainment people, including Kevin. Here is his piece:
      “Batman:The Animated Series transports the most jaded adult viewer back tothose prepubescent days of yesteryear when one held a sense of wonder forsuper heroes in one’s heart. No simple feat, that. But by blending thierunique designs with their superlative gifts for storytelling, Dini and companymanage to make us believe, again, that a man can fly…at least with the aidof the Batwing.”-Kevin Smith, Writer/Director
  • Dark Horizons strikes again, this time with the first look at the teaser for the next Adam Sandler movie to probablymake $200 million…The catch is, this one’s got Joey Lauren Adams in it, as well! Check out the teaser for “Big Daddy”right HERE. The film hits cineplexes this June.
  • This is part of the “Muse” (Weekly Arts and Entertainment magazine) section in the Daily Free Press at Boston University (3rd largest daily in Boston!) on Thursday, December 10, 1998. It was an article called “A list ofincomparable film favorites”. It was among the company of Braveheart, The Usual Suspects, and Cinema Paradiso:
      ANY WORK BY KEVIN SMITH. Despite anu professional criticism Smith may have endured for his three (soon to be four)offerings, his films stand, in my opinion, as some of the sharpest cinematic works of the decade. Smith is continuallyin tune with the preferences of his audience, yet manages to maintain his own creativity and vision — each piece boastsits own merits and threads of innovation. His scripts are insightful, his camera work interesting and his charactershilariously fascinating. Come on, who hasn’t at least chuckled at the antics of recurring characters Jay and SilentBob?
