Movie description
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.

Notes
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)
Editorial reviews
"...Funny, original....A high-wire act..." -- 3 out of 5 stars Premiere - p.102 - Chris Cronis (06/01/2000) "...A fiercely ambitious script that never loses its raucous rhythm....Affleck gives his strongest performance to date..." Variety - p.89-90 - Peter Travers (12/09/1999) "...Mercilessly funny....[The actors] bring great, understandable enthusiasm to Mr. Smith's smart talk and wild imaginings..." New York Times - p.E20 - Janet Maslin (11/12/1999) "...There are kernels of genius here..." Box Office - p.144 - Lael Loewenstein (09/01/1999) "...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..." USA Today - p.13E - Susan Wloszczyna (11/12/1999)

Up for bid is a used copy of the hilarious movie "Dogma", a Kevin Smith movie with an amazing cast of... characters.... Can you imagine George Carlin as a Priest, or a Cardinal or whatever his title is in this movie (obviously I am not catholic). The movie is great, so funny!!! And with a surprise appearance by God, you are sure to watch this one over and over. This is in excellent condition, minor wear of the case, but the tape is perfect. Thanks for looking and enjoy.

Please check back often as I will always have something new and interesting to offer, and referrals are always welcome. Thank you for taking your time to look at my auction, and happy bidding.

Return Policy: I do not have a return policy set with eBay, but I am more than willing to work with you personally if there is a problem. I try to be very accurate with descriptions, but we are all human, I simply ask that if you have a problem please contact me first to try to resolve the situation. I take my auctions very seriously and I do not want to lose potential costumers due to something that could have been resolved easily. Always, if you have any questions about a listing or anything else regarding my auction please send me a note and I will get back to you quickly.

Shipping: Be assured that if you win multiple auctions I am more than willing to combine purchases into one package to make it cheaper for you and easier for me. Again, I do not have a policy set with eBay about this, but I want to work with you not against you. If you have won, or if you are bidding on multiple auctions send me a note and I will revise the shipping quote for your purchase.

Currently I ship two days a week, Saturdays and one weekday. Unfortunately my work schedule has changed (ugghhh, yes, I cannot sustain on ebay alone so I have to sit in a cubicle for 8 hours a day), and this new schedule completely coincides with my local post office hours. All of this means that I do ship during the week but only when I am able to get to the post office before they lock the doors, or on days that I have off or when I am surprisingly (cough-cough) under the weather. I cannot give an exact week day for shipping, but I will do everything I can to get your winnings to you as soon as possible, and I always check to see what has been paid for before heading to the post office.

Thank you... I hope to do business with you again.
