BETHEL, Conn. and NEW YORK, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Opening an ultra-low-budget indie film theatrically isn't easy, but this is just what first-time feature director Jill Wisoff did with CREATING KARMA.

Now, for those of you who have no interest...

Afghanistan has become a Mel Brooks movie. President Hamid Karzai handpicked an election commission that threw the election his way. UN overseers declared the election was crooked and decreed that a runoff was required. Karzai didn’t want to face a runoff, but John Kerry and other U.S. officials talked him into accepting it. Karzai’s opponent, Abdullah Abdullah, demanded that the crooked...
I will get back to my series of posts on “First principles” fairly soon, but in the meantime this came up and I just had to say something. Jeff Jacoby writes … Those who fulminate against letting voters periodically vote on ballot measures believe that citizens are too dumb to judge the merits of legislation - and that such decisions are therefore best left to the lawmakers they...
If the spinal column were a chest of drawers, what would be contained? Anne Bancroft and Mel Brooks and the party to begin when someone walks through a door. This morning's smoothie--cherry, vanilla, with almond extract and megadoses of cinnamon. Visiting artist from Scotland. A Blake scholar. A printmaker. A diner at Lindy's with me and L-Bo and the lovely Charlene, on Sunday night. Chocolate velvet...
“Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.” – Mel Brooks. "It was twenty years ago today..." Sgt. Pepper couldn't have said it better himself, but it so happens that TIME/WARNER cable launched The Comedy Channel two decades ago this month (on November 15, 1989). A year and a half later it would be rechristened Comedy Central and...
Told he's had a nothing-if-not-eclectic career, Barry Levinson thinks for half a second and says, "As it turns out, I guess it has been." True. Not everyone could go from playing a deranged bellhop in a Mel Brooks farce to winning an Oscar for directing a sensitive and bittersweet drama about an ...

I spend a lot of time writing, and I'm constantly amazed -- even after decades of this stuff -- how much better things get when you say less. Take out words, and dull prose sits up. Take out sentences, and prose kicks up its heels. And take out paragraphs ... well, let's just say that's you often need to clear the room -- it can be that much more kinetic. It is hard, of course. The expression "kill...
That's Fronk-en-stien! An annual tradition of mine is to watch good ol' Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein, my favorite comedy. How can you beat it? Gene Wilder is the title character, Mel Brooks and him wrote the script, and you have Marty Feldman and Peter Boyle.
