Film comedies smack us with max 'Cool'
One of my favorite film people is the witty director, Mel Brooks. The first time I saw his mod western tale, 'Saddles' it blew me away. The zing of his tight, stinging urban comic films is so tantalizing. But truly my favorite Brooks work is the intense, rather incongruous, bizarre 'Young Frankenstein.' The delightful wily, Mr. Wilder is such a bloomin' huge joltin' laugh fest in this thing. It is a true statement we all need a lot more humor. Grand, zinging and so fulfilling film comedy can surely help smooth out the rough edges in our brains.
