Dogma

Dear God I love this movie. Kevin Smith’s apex as a filmmaker, far as I’m concerned. My Spouse likes to watch It’s a Wonderful Life every Christmas. I’m getting weary of it, myself. Maybe this year I’ll agree to watch it one more time with her if she’ll watch Dogma with me. I’ve got nothing against starting a new Holiday Tradition. (Forgive the Holiday reference here in the middle of summer. My bad.)
Not everyone liked it as much as I do when it premiered in 1999:
The 4th film set in the View Askewniverse is a hypothetical-scenario film revolving around the Catholic Church and Catholic belief, which caused organized protests and much controversy in many countries, delaying release of the film and leading to at least two death threats against Smith. The film follows two fallen angels, Loki and Bartleby, who, through a loophole in Catholic Dogma, find a way to get back into Heaven after being cast out by God. However, as existence is founded on the principle that God is infallible, their success would prove God wrong and thus undo all creation. The last scion and two prophets are sent by the Voice of God to stop them.
Watch this clip of angel, Loki, in action, then rent the DVD or stream it online or do whatever you do to watch movies at home. BuVu filmmaking. Trust me.
