JAY & SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK
The delusional Jay ("a pimped-out Jedi knight," as Bloodhound Gang's "Jackass" has it) and ironic, semi-wise Silent Bob finally get their own Kevin Smith feature and accompanying soundtrack album. A stack of jokingly aggressive, self-deprecating tunes by the Bloodhounds, Stroke 9, and Marcy Playground are augmented by straight-faced rawk from across the spectrum (Steppenwolf, Bon Jovi, PJ Harvey) and a true pick-to-click in Afroman's hilariously blunted hip-hop testament "Because I Got High." Add more than a dozen film sound bites--Jay's recollection of Good Will Hunting as that "movie with a Mork from Ork in it," his electro-goofy "Jay's Rap 2001," and some prime Chris Rock moments among them. A great soundtrack for any fan of Kevin Smith films.
