![]() The 2000 Year Old Man In The Year 2000: The Album $19.98 Keeps you smiling and laughing in the car. All of a sudden traffic jams ain't so bad. ![]() Young Frankenstein $14.98 This is an incredibly funny movie! I recommend this to anyone with a love of funny horror! Peter Boyle and Gene Wilder are hilarious! ![]() High Anxiety $14.98 This is definitely one of Mel Brooks' best efforts, ranking up there alongside "The Producers", "Blazing Saddles" & "Young Frankenstein". As the film begins, Brooks dedicates it to "the Master of Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock"; and to Brooks' credit, he successfully (and affectionately) satirizes key scenes from Hitchcock classics like "Psycho", "Vertigo" & "The Birds". But "High Anxiety" is more than a mere parody: there's the familiar Brooks nuttiness, and a re-assembling of old favorites (Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Harvey Korman, Ron Carey) mixed in with newer faces (Howard Morris, Dick Van Patten). The late 70's look has dated the film slightly, but it hasn't affected the humor; it is still one of the best comedies around. And Leachman plays one of the scariest looking women in film history---that of the pointy brassiere, sinister Nurse Diesel. As the leading man---the distinguished psychiatrist Dr. Richard H. Thorndyke---Brooks is forced to play it mostly straight through the picture, although he's allowed to cut loose in a lounge singing scene and portraying an old Jewish man (with Kahn) to slip past airport security. Korman's at his weasally best as a disgruntled fellow doctor who's conspiring with Diesel, and Kahn is perfectly cast as the flaky "damsel in distress", one of those "mysterious" woman types who pop up in suspense films. But the entire cast is terrific. A terrific Brooks comedy that has a lot of laughs! ![]() The 2000 Year Old Man:The Complete History $59.98 Keeps you smiling and laughing in the car.
