“The Making of ‘And God Spoke…’”

aka merely “And God Spoke…”

I notice the first review submitted was unfavorable but I loved it.  
It’s spoofing Bible epics- with Soupy Sales as Moses, Eve Plumb as Mrs Noah, Lou Ferrigno & Andy Dick as Cain & Abel (Andy- “It’s the FIRST murder. Someone’s getting killed today and I’m ready to kill.” Off-screen mutter from someone. Andy- “What? What do you mean Abel gets killed?!”)

I’d have to add my vote for either Best In Show or Bob Roberts. Though I hear a Mighty Wind is suppose to be pretty good. Alas, will probably be a few months before I can attest to that one way or another.

What was that French faux-documentary about a film crew that follows a serial killer (a French serial killer at that) around as he “hunts”? The film crew eventually assist the killer in various crimes, filming everything.

Whatever the name of it is, that is the one I vote for. 😉

That’s _C’est arrivé près de chez vous_ or _[Man Bites Dog](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0103905)_. It was Belgian, not French.
