    Calling Albert Brooks

    I was also excited when I saw the news about Brooks' latest comedy. What would be more useful now than something insightful about the Muslim sense of humor? I wish it had had a wider release. I never got the chance to see it. Some reviews were genuinely enthusiastic though most critics panned it.

    I heard that he's re-editing it for the DVD to put in some pictures of Mohammed.
