Kevin Smith 3-Movie Collection – Blu-Ray – Clerks, Chasing Amy, Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back

Fans of Kevin Smith have a treat in store for them this holiday season, because their friends can hit shops right now for the perfect gift, the Kevin Smith Blu-Ray 3-Movie Collection. While none of these movies are probably at the top of the list for ability to truly show off the power of Blu-Ray, the release is packed with special features that fans will love.

I’ll give you a bit of a rundown, but there is just too much to really cover it all. And, stay tuned, because this one is going to be included in the Are You Screening? Holiday Giveaway Extravaganza! It may not be especially holiday themed, but someone on your list really wants this… probably you.

Clerks tells the outrageously funny story of one wacky day in the life of a pair of overworked counter jockeys whose razor-sharp wit and on-the-job antics give a whole new meaning to the phrase “customer service.” The film features winning performances from Brian O’Halloran and Jeff Anderson as the two titular characters, and marks the debut of Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith as the now classic comic duo “Jay and Silent Bob.” Unanimously praised by critics, Clerks won the Filmmakers Trophy Award at the 1994 Sundance Film Festival and both the Award of the Youth and the Mercedes-Benz Award at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival.

Additional bonus features include Deleted Scenes, Outtakes, Trailers. Comedy lovers everywhere will want to chase this new Blu-ray Edition down for hours of shocking laughs!

In Chasing Amy, comic-book artist Holden (Ben Affleck, Armageddon) finds himself falling for the ultimate in unavailable women: a lesbian comic book artist named Alyssa (Joey Lauren Adams, Dazed and Confused). Filled with Smith’s unique brand of clever dialogue and featuring heartfelt performances from its young leads, Chasing Amy offers a thoughtful, fresh take on modern relationships. The film co-stars Jason Lee (TV’s “My Name is Earl”) and features an unforgettable appearance by Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith as “Jay and Silent Bob,” who show up to deliver one of recent movie history’s most memorable monologues. Chasing Amy won the 1998 Independent Spirit Awards for Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (Jason Lee), while star Joey Lauren Adams was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical.

Fan favorites “Jay and Silent Bob” take center stage in the irreverent comedy Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. Experience this outrageous road trip adventure like never before, now with sparkling Blu-ray high definition picture and sound. For the ultimate comedy high, the Blu-ray edition also comes stashed with an Audio Commentary with Director Kevin Smith, Producer Scott Mosier & Jason Mewes.

The jewel of the set is clearly Clerks, and it’s loaded with great bonuses. The enhanced play trivia option is one of the best such features you’ll find, and the commentary is Kevin Smith at his best. A lot of the other special features are going to tickle fans as well, including the great 10 Years Later Q&A on Chasing Amy.

If you know anyone who has even heard of any of these films (and has a Blu-Ray player), this is a must.
