[...] Of The Black Hat: I love mockumentaries because of their silliness. Even the madcap entertainment of B-grade slasher flicks pale in [...]

…God Rocked blew my mind!!! The funny thing about it is I didn't expect it too. The part about it that I liked was the music, and the inter-band peace. The part I didn't like was it was a bit campy. Other than that, though, a real feel good film, with bad actors. That's the one downfall….it was all so low budget that I don't think they could pay their actors much…but it was good considering that. LOL about the hard rock band turned Christian preachers…and their competitions (who can quote Bible verse best). It was funny, and I'd watch it again.

Yeah, I saw that one (…and on the 7th day, God rocked!), Troy, and really enjoyed it. I laughed several times at the schtick used by the "musical geniuses" to get across a point of religious curiosity or two. I mean, seriously, how many times does it take a man to understand that genius is given and not a competition?!! Seriously, though, the music really stood out to me in this flick. The rap artists were hysterical, as was that odd Angie Hynes band. My favorite, though, was the gospel belting band's lyrics. They were the Peter, Paul, and Mary of Christian rock!!! I dig them. Seriously, though, I recommend!!

Check out "…And on the 7th Day, God Rocked" a very low budget, but well produced mockumentary. No star names, which in this case, I think makes it better than recognizable faces. I saw it at a film festival, and some people actually asked if "some of those people were real"! It's on netflix, and I think it's also easy to google…

I prefer Waiting for Guffman to The Grand by far, but I guess you can’t put all their stuff up there and Hollywood Shuffle is absolutely fantastic!

You left off the original mockumentary, THE WAR GAME from 1965 about nuclear war and its aftermath in England. The “mockumentary” format so confused the AMPAS back in 1965 they actually awarded the oscar to THE WAR GAME for Best Documentary!

A much better movie than CB4 is “Fear of a Black Hat”. It is the story of the notorious Gangsta rappers N.W.H. or Ni**as with Hats. No one was spared it this joint. Hammer, Queen Latifah, PM Dawn,Snoop, NWA, ll cool j, Salt and pepper, C%C Music Factory, New Jack City, Spike Lee, John Singleton and everything hip hop was ripped. I laughed my ass off in the theater and my video tape was stolen by a hater. It was worth the long wait for it on DVD and the deleted scenes and the Videoes,especially Ice froggy Frog and Granny said kick yo Azz. It also gives us the answer to a very important question,”Whats the difference between a b##th and a hoe” and that’s one valuable lesson.
Also Two of the best ever are Woody Allen’s Take the money and run and Zelig.

Christopher Guest is the mocumentary king! You should also check out his 1989 effort, ‘The Big Picture’. It’s along the lines of ‘For Your Consideration’, but I think it’s funnier (and has a cast of real name actors).

Let’s not forget that Amy Poehler has totally ripped off Lord Hayden-Guest in ‘Parks and Recreation’, too. Christopher should sue.
