Kevin Smith Speaks - A DVD Talk Interview
An Evening With Kevin Smith brings together over 3 hours of Q&A's taken from several college appearances the Kevin Smith made over the past year. On the DVD Kevin Smith covers everything from the origin of the term 'Snoogans' to a blow by blow description of his first sexual experience with his wife.

Earlier this week we were a part of a teleconference, along side several other journalists we asked Smith his thoughts on DVD, what's still in the View Askew Vault and if we'll ever see him act in one of his films again. Read the complete in depth transcript from the teleconference, and listen to audio clips of Kevin Smith's answers!

Invaders from Mars, the 1953 original, finally presents the paranoid classic with good color and excellent sound, from a 35mm source, Criterion brings us a dazzling package with Jean-Luc Godard's
Contempt and Joseph Losey's
The Criminal Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
