Film Friday

Yesterday, a friend sent along this YouTube video spoofing movie trailers. By sheer coincidence, what should come across my desk but a brand spanking new copy of And God Spoke the Making of– : a Documentary (DVD 2906). Some might chock this up to mere happenstance, but I like to think of it as divine intervention.

A mock documentary (or mockumentary) about a producer and director of exploitation flicks who try their hardest to make a classy adaptation of the Bible, And God Spoke is a hilarious take on the movie-making business. In the beginning, the director-producer duo find studio backing, have a massive budget, and con stars and starlets into playing Biblical roles. Nothing goes smoothly, however, and by the end of shooting Jesus’ birth has been filmed in a church Nativity scene.

MSEL has other mockumentaries available for checkout at the AV Center, among the highlights are This is Spinal Tap and Best in Show.

More new movies in the AV center after the jump.
