Thanks to his success in filmmaking (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back), comic book writing (Green Arrow, Spider-Man/Black Cat), and television (as a Tonight Show correspondent), Kevin Smith has one of the highest profiles in contemporary American popular arts.  This December 17th, Columbia plans to release An Evening With Kevin Smith, a 215-minute documentary culled from lectures and Q&A sessions on five different college campuses (Indiana University, Cornell, Kent State, Clark University, and Wyoming).  Smith, who plays the taciturn Silent Bob character in his films, waxes eloquent on the college circuit on a variety of topics near and dear to his heart ranging from spirituality to sexuality.

 

With few extras, save for trailers for other Kevin Smith films, and a suggested retail price of $27.95, this is not a disk for everyone, but Smith does have a lot of hardcore fans who will no doubt wish to add this DVD to their collections.
