Dr. Giggles
A well-shot, but quality lacking, slasher film about a crazed son of a doctor who was stoned for killing seven people. There were some nice kills, but Dr. Giggles' one-liners became excrutiatingly painful, that it was almost unbearable. Also, I was hoping of something along the lines of
The Dentist (a far superior movie), about a respected Doctor who slowly goes insane, eventually snapping on those around him. But, I didn't get it. Oh well. Some nice kills and good-looking movie, but unbearable at times.
2.5/5
EdTV
A comedy version of
The Truman Show, but far superior. It's not all comedy, which I like. There is a lot of drama mixed in there as well. A nice balance of laughs and tears. The reason I feel this is superior to
The Truman Show is because
Show focused more on a man's realization of being filmed and watched. It's a great thriller (I feel it's a thriller in my mind), and a great performance by Jim Carrey. But, what makes
EdTV better is that the main character, Ed (played magnificently by Matthew McCoughnahey), agrees to do this 24-hour tv show, but soon starts to regret it. The ones around him are being hurt and embarrased live on tv, and he can't get out thanks to his contract. He tries his best to get away from it, but it isn't possible. There are some great laughs in here, but the drama really shows. I won't lie, I had a few tears in my eyes. I just found it so sad, and I really felt bad for Ed, which is a good thing. I just view this film as a great, overlooked dramedy. If you haven't seen this yet, go get yourself a copy. You won't regret it!
5/5
