This week, the oddest DVD to appear on release lists is:

“Mel Brooks: Make a Noise”

For a guy who has spent a long, productive lifetime in show business (and has scored a rare EGOT – Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards), Mel Brooks has somehow managed to escape any of those extended, talking head, Biography Channel treatments of his life.

Arkansas-based indie filmmaker Charles B. Pierce’s cult drive-in hit from 1976 gets the Blu-ray treatment from Scream Factory, but while the picture’s sharper and the blood is redder, the new technology does nothing to fix the story flaws in “The Town That Dreaded Sundown.”
