The Healing Power of Laughter

[Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis as Elvis and JFK respectively]

When I'm alone and watch a funny movie, I usually don't laugh all that much. Laughter is something I guess I enjoy sharing. That said:

I watched "Bubba Ho-Tep" with Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis and LAUGHED MY ASS OFF!

Elvis changed places with an Elvis impersonator years before but fell off a stage impersonating himself, broke his hip, and wound up in an old folks home.

Ossie Davis plays JFK who survived the assassination and was dyed black and wound up in the same old folks home as Elvis.

An ancient mummy does raids on the old folks home and sucks peoples souls out of their bodies to help him to live. Elvis and JFK decide to try to kill the mummy.

This movie was so funny, I laughed outloud all by myself at home.

It was made in 2002, and was another one of those movies I've wanted to see but just didn't get around to it. I'm glad I did.
