Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; English Subtitles Irreverent enough to merit a disclaimer at the beginning, DOGMA is nevertheless pro-God and pro-tolerance. The story involves two fallen angels, Bartleby ... Full Description(Ben Affleck) and Loki (Matt Damon), who have found a loophole in Catholic dogma that will allow them back into heaven. However, this breach would result in the destruction of the world, so a ragtag group of prophets, scions, and apostles set out to stop them. The success of the film is in the juxtaposition of Smith's trademark acerbic attitude and witty dialogue against the enormous canvas of Christian iconography and apocalyptic conflict.
Imaginative theology and a bigger-than-usual budget make Kevin Smith's (CHASING AMY, CLERKS) fourth film a kind of post-Catholic fantasy that only a comic-book enthusiast of his caliber could dream up. It concerns banished angels, Loki (Matt Damon) and Bartleby (Ben Affleck) who, after a few millennia in Wisconsin, discover a loophole in Catholic doctrine that would allow them back into heaven--but prove the fallibility of God and destroy the universe. As they make their way to New Jersey to receive a plenary indulgence, God dispatches a seraphim (Alan Rickman) to recruit lapsed-Catholic Bethany (Linda Fiorentino) to stop the angels. She finds help in muses, prophets (Jay and Silent Bob), and the forgotten 13th apostle, Rufus (Chris Rock). Before long, all hell breaks loose (literally), and God (Alanis Morrisette) has to put in an appearance of her own. Smith's controversial (and very funny) film is powered by his trademark dialogue, ripe with observations on pop culture, religion, and bodily functions.
DOGMA was screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 1999.
The film was shot on location in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Several groups, including the Catholic League, protested the film.
Smith wrote DOGMA before CLERKS, and the credits of the latter include the promise "Jay and Silent Bob will return in DOGMA."
Emma Thompson was slated to play the role of God, but had to drop out when she became pregant.
Connections between DOGMA and other Kevin Smith films include the character Grant Hicks, who is a cousin to Dante from CLERKS and Gill from MALLRATS. All three characters are played by Brian O'Halloran. Also, a bus company in the film is owned by Rick Derris, a perennial Smith character.
"I feel like I'm Han Solo, and you're Chewie, and she's Ben Kenobi, and we're in that f@&%#*-up bar!"--Jay (Jason Mewes), to Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) and Bethany (Linda Fiorentino)
Dogma Reviews: "...A fiercely ambitious script that never loses its raucous rhythm....Affleck gives his strongest performance to date..."
-- Peter Travers, Variety "...Funny, original....A high-wire act..." -- 3 out of 5 stars
-- Chris Cronis, Premiere "...Mercilessly funny....[The actors] bring great, understandable enthusiasm to Mr. Smith's smart talk and wild imaginings..."
-- Janet Maslin, New York Times "...There are kernels of genius here..."-- Lael Loewenstein, Box Office "...There is a keen intellect behind this devoutly defiant fable....Stuffed with cheery irreverence and inspired in equal parts by comic books, sports bar culture and the Bible..."

Dogma Movie Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   Absolutely Genius
If you enjoy comedy, but also feel the churches today have lost all insight on religious reality, then this movie is for you. Kevin Smith uses his education to elaborate the problems we today have with the faith in our churches. He may threaten some churches, but this gives us a reminder that we are humans and have flaws, and Kevin Smith gives it a comedic twist. Great movie.

Kevin Smith makes the funniest movies. You really have to have a sense of humor to watch this movie. This kind of movie was a really touchy subject for most people. But if you have a sense of humor and don't care what other people think like Smith then it is all good. A stellar cast, a great and funny movie, oh yeah and Jay and Silent Bob baby. Do I need to say more?

Straight out the best movie ever made. Kevin Smith is a genius, because he does not make a parody of christianity, but fills in the illogical gaps (which really exist in the bible) with amusing and compelling anecdotes. I do not understand, why many christians felt offended, however I, as an atheist, still enjoy this movie every time I watch it without feeling bored (and I have passed the 20x mark).

Dogma movie DVD
$23.39
The bestselling self help book HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU assures an equally successful screen appearance with this star-studded comedy. A-listers such as Ben Affleck, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson, and Jennifer Connelly star in this film about miscommunications in relationships.
Boasting enough marquee names for three films, HE’S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU is a star-studded comedy about love and relationships. Director Ken Kwapis (LICENSE TO WED) reigns over an impressive cast: Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Justin Long, Bradley Cooper, Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Connelly, producer Drew Barrymore, Kevin Connolly, and Scarlett Johansson. Each of the nine major characters has his or her own plot--a woman desperate to get married after seven years of dating, a man tempted to cheat on his wife, a young woman who just wants her date to call her, etc.--but everyone is connected through work, marriage, or friendship, drawing the characters and their stories together.
Goodwin might be flanked by much larger stars--especially Aniston, Affleck, Barrymore, Connelly, and Johansson--but the adorable actress is the highlight of this film. Though her character’s ...
| | Summer Place DVD (1959)
Dogma video
$14.69
Winding curves and smashing dead ends make SUMMER PLACE a truly ironic tale of unrequited love and teenage lust. When a business man, Ken Jorgenson (Richard Egan) takes his wife, Helen (Constance Ford) and his daughter Molly (Sandra Dee) to an island off the coast of Maine, little does he suspect that he will rekindle the teenage love affair he once had with the now married Sylvia (Dorothy McGuire). Now it seems that events are going to repeat themselves when her son (Troy Donahue) and his daughter meet and fall in love. Subtle at first, SUMMER PLACE unfolds like a easy love story, but the surprise ending makes it difficult to forget.
Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue star in this enduring favorite about desire and tumult at an elite Maine resort, from the bestseller by Sloan Wilson ...
| | Cheech & Chong's Things Are Tough All Over DVD (1982) Widescreen
Dogma film
$10.45
In this, their fourth film, Cheech & Chong play dual roles. The boys play Arabian brothers Prince Habib (Tommy Chong) and Mr. Slyman (Cheech Marin), who hire the "real" Cheech and Chong to drive a car--filled with 5 million dollars--from Chicago to Las Vegas. Needless to say, the trip is not uneventful. After the boneheaded boys sell pieces of the car to make the trip, their employers want to kill them! Slightly lighter on the marijuana humor than their previous efforts, THINGS ARE TOUGH ALL OVER is also regarded by many fans as one of the dopey duo's best screen efforts.
Cheech & Chong are at it again but this is the first time they've appeared ...
| | Evil Dead 1 & 2 DVDs (2005) Widescreen; Limited Edition; Gift Set
Dogma review
$51.19
THE EVIL DEAD, director Sam Raimi's first film, has achieved legendary status since its 1982 release--and for good reason. Though perhaps not as widely seen as its two sequels, EVIL DEAD 2 and ARMY OF DARKNESS, THE EVIL DEAD is arguably the best of the three. It is the story of five college-age friends who travel to a cabin in rural Tennessee where they stumble upon the Book of the Dead, an ancient tome bound in human flesh and written in blood. After unwittingly awakening the unspeakable terrors described in the book, the friends, one by one, are transformed into the evil dead, except for Ash (Bruce Campbell). Left with no other way to survive than to dismember the living corpses of his sister, his girlfriend, and two friends, Ash resorts to desperate measures to get out alive. Shot on a shoestring budget, the film boasts some impressive camera work and extremely over-the-top gore effects as well as a sense of humor much more subtle than the tongue-in-cheek aesthetic of the two sequels. In THE ...

| | Zack And Miri Make A Porno DVDs (2008) Widescreen
Dogma film
$22.55
As its explicit title suggests, Kevin Smith's ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO is a foul-mouthed and filthy film that probably isn't fit for the very young, the very old, or the easily offended. But for those who enjoy Smith's brand of humor, this raunchy but romantic comedy could be the perfect date movie (though perhaps not for a first date). With mountains of past-due bills piling up, Zack (Seth Rogen, KNOCKED UP) and his roommate/childhood friend Miri (Elizabeth Banks, SCRUBS) aren't sure how they're going to stay in their Pittsburgh apartment. But a chance encounter at their 10-year reunion gives them the idea to make a porn movie. When it comes time for the friends to do the deed, they realize that perhaps they're more than just friends.
With all the talk of sexual positions and bodily functions, it'd be easy to say that Smith is hopping on the Judd Apatow bandwagon that has dominated the box office in the latter half of the aughts with KNOCKED UP and THE 40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN, and ZACK AND MIRI even features a few Apatow alumni. But Smith perfected this ...
