 THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- CHASING AMY
CHASING AMY has its share of hilarious moments; the scene in which Alyssa and Banky trade "war stories" is an absolute must see.
Although CHASING AMY is a comedy, Joey Lauren Adams delivers such a moving and totally captivating performance that she single-handedly elevates the film way beyond the limitations of the genre.
CHASING AMY was shot in the Super 16mm format, so the image on the DVD is grainier and somewhat less detailed than a production that originated on 35mm film stock.

 Chasing Amy African Arts - Find Articles
When I first met Amy Futa in the African Arts office on the shabby tenth floor of UCLA's Bunche Hall in the late 1970s, she was working as editorial assistant to Alice McGaughey, the managing editor, and John Povey, the editor-in-chief.
That role was played by huge and gentle Disraeli, Amy's golden retriever, who galumphed with her up the elevator to the African Arts office every day, where he laid in wait for Povey to bring him biscuits.
The distance between crisp, insightful copy and the drudge of arch prose was often measured by Amy's marginal queries and her gentle reminders that "irregardless" and "adamancy" are not English words.

 Salon | "Chasing Amy"
"Chasing Amy" isn't going to single-handedly save romantic comedy, but Smith ("Clerks") has made the only romantic comedy in quite a while that acknowledges, even celebrates, the fact that love and sex are emotional anarchy.
One of the most enjoyable things about watching "Chasing Amy" is knowing that it's going to piss off a lot of people.
For all the chances it takes, though, "Chasing Amy" is as much of a mess as a movie can be and still be any good.

 Liquidtheater.Com: Chasing Amy
Even though Chasing Amy is a bit outside of the dick and fart jokes that he prides himself on, it is not without the tag-lines that put Smith on the map.
The DVD release for Chasing Amy certainly is worth the cost, though, with a crystal clear 16x9 enhanced 1.85 to 1 soundtrack, an excellent Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack that does wonders for the great soundtrack of the movie, and quite a few out-takes and deleted scenes.
Chasing Amy along with the other Smith movies are proof in my mind that not only can you make a movie that beats the hell out of big academy award blockbusters like Titanic, but you can do so for a fraction of the cost.

 DVD Review: Chasing Amy
There are some wonderful moments in "Chasing Amy", both from the performances by Adams, Affleck and Jason Lee as well as the dialogue from Smith, which is both very funny and very honest.
VIDEO: This is a new anamorphic transfer of "Chasing Amy", and while it's pretty good, there are some little things that I've got to talk about.
I saw "Chasing Amy" when it was in theaters quite a few times; it was out when I was managing a theater and we'd all go watch "Amy" during the breaks(or when we were supposed to be working).

 Chasing Amy
In its later stages, "Chasing Amy" lets an affair develop between Holden and Alyssa in ways that sets their worst prejudices and jealousies in motion.
As "Chasing Amy" redefines the boy-meets-girl formula for a culture where anything goes, including perhaps another boy or girl, it thrives on Smith's dry, deadpan direction.
Rating: Chasing Amy" is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian).

 DVD Review - Chasing Amy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
While I love the movie "Chasing Amy", I love the hilarious audio commentary even more, and I couldn’t wait for this flick to hit DVD, so that many more people could experience the antics of Kevin Smith and crew.
The story which is portrayed in "Chasing Amy" is not your typical Hollywood fare such as the awful "Three to Tango." Holden loves Alyssa, but Alyssa is gay.
Surprisingly, the "Chasing Amy" DVD has quite some technical problems, which is surprising given Criterion’s stature in the industry.

 Sexuality in Chasing Amy
Directed by Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats), Chasing Amy is the final installment in the "New Jersey" Trilogy.
Smith has followed the outstanding success of his previous two movies with a film that is a blend of both; a cross between the slapstick humour of Mallrats and the ‘parodic realism’ of Clerks.
Chasing Amy works on many levels, from juvenile humour to sub cultural microcosms to questions of sexuality.

 News Askew: [DVD Reviews]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Chasing Amy also has the distinction as being the flick that really inspired the start of this website, as the idea to start an Askew-themed site came right after seeing Amy for the first time on the big screen (it's a long story).
While still slightly inferior to the Mallrats DVD, which was built basically from scratch as a DVD Special Edition, the Chasing Amy disc takes practically all of its extra material from the Criterion laserdisc that arrived the winter after the film's release.
Chasing Amy's presented with just 2 audio tracks: A 5.1 Dolby Digital track lifted directly from the Criterion laserdisc, and a commentary track (ditto) which we'll elaborate on in a bit.

 EUFS: Chasing Amy
The difference between Chasing Amy and Smith's other films is that Chasing Amy has an element of dramatic plot rather than being just a string of dick and fart jokes.
Chasing Amy is a moving, dramatic film without losing these hilarious moments.
The film certainly shows signs of his maturing as a filmmaker, though the ubiquity of static camera work is noticeable, but no Chasing Amy review would be complete without a mention of the unbelievable Jason Lee as the abrasive Banky Edwards who steals the show from the 'straight man' in Ben Affleck.

 BBC - Films - review - Chasing Amy
Despite the fact that Alyssa is a lesbian, Holden falls for her, embarking on a relationship which threatens his and Banky's friendship and leads him to question the nature of sexual attraction, jealousy and love.
The third film made on a relative shoestring by director/writer Smith, "Chasing Amy" utilises the same sharp - sometimes sick - observational humour and ear for dialogue that made "Clerks" such an indie gem.
But with writing this smart, performed by a cracking cast, "Chasing Amy" still outstrips the current comedy competition, and shows Smith's potential to its fullest.

 Chasing Amy
Chasing Amy, although it is not exactly a romantic comedy, is a good movie to watch with someone you love.
