Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)

[Movie 227 / Day 240]


Boasting more cameos than you can shake a dirty stick at, not to mention more than the average number of Star Wars references, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is one of Kevin Smith's sillier films. The plot, such as it is, involves Jay and Silent Bob attempting to get to Hollywood in order to stop a movie based on their fictional counterparts, Bluntman and Chronic, from being made.

It's silly, it references all of Smith's previous movies heavily, but it's pretty funny. I like.

My rating: 6.8 / 10

Chasing Amy (1997)

[Movie 131 / Day 115]


Kevin Smith's third film and a love story to boot revolves around two comic book writers, Banky Edwards (Jason Lee) and Holden McNeil (Ben Affleck) who pen the popular comic book series Bluntman & Chronic.

All is happy between the pair until Holden meets Alyssa Jones (Joey Lauren Adams) and promptly falls in love with her - despite her annoying voice and the unfortunate fact that she's a lesbian - which causes tension with Banky.

Like a lot of Smith's movies, it's both funny and touching in places and Banky Edwards is a comic genius of a character, having the best lines in the movie.

My rating: 7.5 / 10
IMDB rating: 7.5 / 10

Zack & Miri Make a Porno (2008)

[Movie 130 / Day 114]


I'm a big Kevin Smith fan. I love Seth Rogen. So I thought I would be in for a treat watching the Rogen in Smith's latest offering. Handily I was right, Z&M is an excellent comedy full of the best Kevin Smith traditions.

Elizabeth Banks is hot, Seth Rogen is a complete dude, Kevin Smith's dialogue is as sharp as ever - it all adds up to good times.

Props to Justin Long for a gloriously OTT portrayal of a gay porn star.
