The Criterion Collection has been spoiling cinephiles for over 25 years with the bells and whistles that makes home viewing/collecting wonderful: exhaustive extras, nerdy liner notes, and an impeccable curatorial selection.

Looking for a trip down memory lane - to 1995? The 92Y Tribeca is screening a nostalgia-inducing double feature: 'Mallrats' and 'Clueless' . We're not saying you won't welcome a long weekend filled with family visits and other social obligations.

When thinking of the most unnecessary Blu-ray release, Kevin Smith's 1994 comedy Clerks immediately comes to mind.

That year was also great for Brenda Walsh , er, Shannen Doherty , as she played her last great bitch role: Jason Lee 's girlfriend in Mallrats - the geek-filled, Kevin Smith achievement, about two bone-headed dudes who take refuge at a mall after getting dumped by their girlfriends on the same day.

It appears as if Brodie from Mallrats is all grown up. Jason Lee is taking on a new TV show to follow the end of the run for My Name is Earl on TNT, a pilot called Delta Blues that will be executive produced by George Clooney.

Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here. Okay, I'm trying something a little different with this column, but give me a minute to make my case, not that I need to; my column, my rules.

Miss seeing Jason Lee on the small screen? Well you're in luck because TNT announced today that the former My Name is Earl star is set to take on the lead role in the network's upcoming pilot, Delta Blues.

Anyone considering themselves a part of Generation X has seen or at least heard about ?Clerks?, the outrageous film debut of Kevin Smith.

Kevin Smith is one of us. Yes, that's right...one of us. He's not a Francis Ford Coppola or a Martin Scorcese, but a guy from New Jersey that decided to take a risk and make little movie called "Clerks". It paid off.

Maybe Apple isn't coming to Macworld 2010 , but that just means it won't be hogging the spotlight.

The long-awaited conclusion to Kevin Smith's "New Jersey Trilogy" delivered everything that it should have, and that's a good thing, because with the success of Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, and Dogma, expectations for Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back were very high.

Review: On paper, it probably didn't seem like the kind of series that was going to win Emmys: a show about a low-life who, as he notes in the opening credits, is the kind of guy who makes people nervous and wait in their car when they see him in a convenience store.

Kevin Smith emerged in the first half of the '90s and became a legend. With films like Clerks , Mallrats and Chasing Amy -- all of which intertwined each others' subplots and characters -- Smith became film's grunge-era equivalent of Kurt Cobain.

Writer-director Kevin Smith has often joked about his bare-bones approach to directing when it came to his early films such as Clerks and Mallrats - if things get really exciting, he might actually move the camera.

I remember reading an interview with Kevin Smith back in 1997 in which the trench-coat-wearing writer/director/Miramax poster boy admitted that his third film, Chasing Amy , which was getting a lot of positive critical attention at the time, was actually intended to be his second.
