"Young Frankenstein" Spoof Yet Belonging (Happy Birthday Gene Wilder!)
My dad knew him as the weird guy hanging around with Richard Pryor in "Stir Crazy." I knew him as Willy Wonka as a kid in the magical "Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory." They're still trying to bring back that franchise with casting rumors landing on everyone from Ryan Gosling to Donald Glover (sorry, Mr. Wilder OWNS that part). But one classic that brings the world of comedy and classic horror together and holds a special place in my heart is the Mel Brooks comedy horror "Young Frankenstein."
A film that parodies the Universal Monsters era yet has the look and feel of a Universal horror movie. Much like "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein," it's a great comedic take on the genre, yet also BELONGS to the genre. And the master Gene Wilder is as manic and hilarious as any film you'll ever see him in.
It's also fun to see outtakes of the cast, as they seem to be having the time of their lives. Mel Brooks, not so much. :D
Happy birthday Gene Wilder!

Intentional Parallels? ("Conclave" Movie Review)
"Conclave" is a mystery thriller based on the 2016 Robert Harris book of the same name. Starring Ralph Fiennes, John Lithgow, Stanley Tucci, and Isabella Rossellini, the film focuses on the most powerful group of the Catholic Church cardinals as they mourn their recently deceased pope and prepare to vote for a new one. As they continue to vote and debate the merits of the nominees, many twists and turns present bumps in the road. And that last twist...well, it's a doozy. Being a registered independent, this film firmly leans in the progressive side of things, though corruption seeps into all sides. It is a fight for those in the middle to choose which way the church will continue into the future. Whether it should go back to reading Latin and become so conservative that they choose not to accept other religions or liberal points of view, or whether to continue to go in a more progressive way and deal with the world as it changes. As I watched this film I couldn't help...
