Is there a trend emerging in the film industry?

There are films that have recently premiered and some more that are on the way and all of them have the same theme, Catholic faith and victory, of a temporal sort.

Cristiada........soon to be released, set in Mexico in the 1920s

The Way.......now available from Amazon at around £8.99 and well worth every penny...set in France and Spain

and now, courtesy of Fr Bede Rowe's blog, news of another film due for release January 2012......War in the Vendee....set, of course, in France.
The Vendee was the region that suffered most in the wake of the French Revolution. Catholics were massacred and put to death in most foul ways.
Here is a clip from the film....

  1. I don't know about over there, but here in Missouri if I go to a video rental store (YES, we are old school, no Netflix or steaming)all I see is slasher movies for rent, and I don't rent them. I'd love to know how many movies would be left in the store if they threw all of them out. I'm glad to see there might be something better around the corner.

  2. Kathy - room for an enterprising Catholic to set up an online rental business using only 'good' films?
