GONE are the threads dripping with excitement over the latest and greatest release in terms of PQ. Remember those threads? Serenity, Phantom of the Opera, Aeon Flux, Mission Impossible III, King Kong. Remember?

I really enjoyed it and thought "the PQ was pretty damn good" (to quote Graham Johnson)--especially after seeing Mallrats. I was so into the movie afterwards that I watched all the extras on the second disc as well. The hour+ documentary (some parts were in HD) about what led up to Kevin Smith "going back to the well" to do Clerks II, the filming process, the Cannes film festival, etc., was the best reality TV I've seen in a while.

Good PQ, fun movie, lots of extras = no brainer for Kevin Smith fans. Even if you're not into Kevin Smith or you don't know anything about Clerks (which I didn't) it's still a good HD DVD title for the collection IMO.

Clerks II is fun enough, but the first movie is a bonefide classic. Still his best work (although Chasing Amy is a close second). It's available in a super-fantastic, 3-disc, 10th anniversary edition:
