Review

OMG, this man is my hero. Kevin Smith, director/writer of such films as "Clerks", "Dogma" and "Chasing Amy" and creator of the Jay and Silent Bob characters (he plays the role of Bob) is a very approachable and outgoing guy's guy. Over the course of 3 hrs at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto my friend Matt and I listened and laughed as audience members asked him questions and he in similar fashion to previous events (see any/all of the Evening with Kevin Smith movies) retorted with witty remarks, sometimes vulgar but always funny experiences and occasional reference to dick sucking.

The show started on a high point as a guy asked Smith how he had proposed to his wife (which was after a rather interesting sexual experience) and then proceeded to propose to his own girlfriend. She said yes by the way! Kevin shared his more recent experience of working with the likes of Bruce Willis on the upcoming movie "Cop Out" (once called "A Couple of Dicks") and then progressed almost seemlessly into discussions of his love of assholes (the body area, not the people).

His show is not for the faint of heart, but it a must see for all Smith fans - whether its of the man himself or his work. He has made an appearance in TO every year for the past 5 or 6 years and told his audience last night that he thinks of Canada as "his girlfriend to the north". For more information please see his website at http://www.viewaskew.com/ for more information or just type his name into any search engine.

Overall, I am a huge fan of his work in movies, television, comics and online and encourage everyone to check out a show. He will be back in Canada the first week in February next year.

Looking forward to it!

P.S. He will be in Brantford June 4-6th for the Walter Grettzky Street Hockey Tournament. If you are interested in playing (might even play against him) go online to sign up today.
