So far I have not seen all KS' films, but I have seen Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma and JaSBSB. I was not too impressed with Dogma, but the others I liked very much. JaSBSB is one of the funniest movies ever!
What I think makes Kevin's films work is that I think he understands that the most important thing to have, when making a movie, is a good script. So many $100 mill.+ movies are being made in Hollywood that are mindless and stupid, allmost to the point of being offensive to the viewer.
Kevin reminds me alot of Quintin Tarantino. Just look at Clerks and Reservoir Dogs. Both movies is centered on almost just one location, and with little action but the dialog. Thus making it necesary to have a rock solid script with some good dialog. Kevin's short film "The Flying Car" is a good example of how two guys talking in a car can become a very funny scene.
I live in Denmark where some Danish director's have come up with a Dogma pact (no nothing to do with Kevin's Dogma film :). If a director whants to make a Dogma film, he must agree to not use any artificial ligthing, sound, effects ect. Thereby putting complete focus on the carecters and the story. I think Kevin would be ideal for making a Dogma film (actually Clerks was almost a Dogma film ;).
