For most people, karaoke (in which participants sing along to instrumental recordings of popular songs) is a once-in-a-while pastime that's often accompanied by one or two drinks too many, but for others karaoke is a competitive sport, with national competitions that hold the promise of putting the winner on the ground floor of a career in music. Karaoke Fever is a documentary that explores the little-known world of high-stakes karaoke sing-offs, as a group of part-time vocalists set aside their families and day jobs for the evening to belt out their favorites, with a $15,000 purse and a record deal in the offing for the grand prize winner. Directed by Arthur Borman and Steve Danielson, Karaoke Fever was shown in competition at the 2001 Los Angeles Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

The bulk of this domestic drama is comprised of video footage shot over the years by a boorish husband. Pieced together it forms a diary of a marital breakup that begins at a New Years Eve party. While David is taping, his wife Lily announces, right in front of the camera and everyone, that she wants a divorce. Utterly shocked, he asks her why and she tells him to look at all the videotape of their lives to discover the answer. What he finds does not reflect kindly upon his behavior. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

And God Spoke is an occasionally gut-funny spoof of low-budget moviemaking. Producer Steve Rappaport and director Michael Riley have been given carte blanche to make a multimillion-dollar epic based on the Old Testament. One day into production, they blow their budget and are forced to cut corners with a scythe. Rappaport and Riley must now scout about for cheap locations in the LA area, and make do with whatever stars they can afford. The funniest sequences involve Soupy Sales, who has been cast as Moses, crepe beard and all. Lou Ferrigno, Eve Plumb, and film critic Michael Medved (co-author of The 50 Worst Movies of All Time) also have significant cameos in this likeable effort. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
