It's just a sad experience overall. <br /><br />Joe--<br /><br />MOBSTERS might be more of a total blah than the disaster that WARSHAWSKI is but I still can't remember anything good about it. <br /><br />There are far worse things than a film that stars Mel Brooks but maybe he's more of a comedy genius than a leading man. And while I'm very glad you enjoyed this piece I honestly have to say that I've never seen THE BUTCHER'S WIFE so no plans for that one right now!Mr. Peel aka Peter Avellinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553482286909862975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-71445190903900130992010-07-31T18:14:36.229-07:002010-07-31T18:14:36.229-07:00Mobsters was the pick of that weekend for me and e...<em>Mobsters</em> was the pick of that weekend for me and even after giving <em>The Adventures of Ford Fairlane</em> a "9" in my film journal the previous summer, I gave the Christian Slater-Richard Grieko pairing a "1". <br /><br />I agree that something was taken away when Mel Brooks started playing lead roles in his comedies, even taking a starring role in the teaser trailer for <em>Spaceballs</em>. It's not that he's not funny, but I think a case could be made that his focus was needed elsewhere.<br /><br />Great piece, Peel. Could your retrospective on <em>The Butcher's Wife</em> be far off?Joe Valdezhttp://thisdistractedglobe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-87699693602740589092010-07-31T05:10:17.651-07:002010-07-31T05:10:17.651-07:00I remember that depressing Friday well.

LIFE STINKS was the best of that lot, WARSHAWSKI probably the worst, though I never did make it all the way through ANOTHER YOU because it was just too painful to see Pryor like that. STINKS was a noble, if failed effort, but yeah, needed a different leading man.Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09291930694234773688noreply@blogger.com
