COMING ATTRACTIONS: THE VIDEO DEAD

One of my fine readers, germangreek, poses a question that, quite frankly, I expected to get a lot sooner than now.

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Phil 4:8, read at Mass last Sunday. I hate to be a wet blanket, because I really get a kick out of this blog of yours, but I really have to wonder if even one of the movies you've featured would meet St. Paul's rather stringent criteria. Unless, of course, the whole genre of B Movies has its own kind of perfection which these movies flawlessly achieve.

It’s a good question which I think deserves more than a soundbite in response. Of course, given my particular eccentricities, I feel compelled to do so by writing a movie review. While I’m working on my response I’d love to hear some comments from all of you out there on this topic.
